This is a randomized control trial comparing anterior colporrhaphy with augmentation with dermal allograft (ARCUS) to anterior colporrhaphy with a suture-based repair (native tissue). Patients were randomized to one treatment and then were followed post-operatively for 7-10 years. Prior to surgery patients had a POPQ vaginal prolapse exam and completed a quality of life questionaire (PFDI). They had a repeat POPQ exam and quality of life questionaires at their post-op operative visits. We compare recurrent prolapse rates between these 2 groups.
