Comparing two surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when organs like the bladder or uterus push into the vagina). One method uses a synthetic mesh, and the other uses a natural stitch to hold the organs in place. Both surgeries involve removing the uterus (if you still have one), and the goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pelvic organ prolapse (a bulge or pressure in the vagina) that your doctor has said is at least stage 2 and is causing symptoms.
- You are interested in having surgery to fix it.
- If you still have your uterus, you agree to have it removed as part of the surgery.
- You agree to have a synthetic mesh (prosthetic material) placed during the operation.
- You are able to read and understand French, and you sign a consent form.
- You do not plan to have any more children, and you are healthy enough to undergo this type of surgery.

This study compares two surgical techniques to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when organs like the bladder or bowel sag into the vaginal area). It aims to see which method gives better support with fewer risks, potentially offering you a lasting fix.
This trial compares two surgical ways to support the uterus without removing it: a vaginal approach versus a laparoscopic (camera) approach. It may help you choose the method that best improves uterine prolapse symptoms and function.
This trial compares two minimally-invasive surgical techniques to fix pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see which method works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
This study checks whether an outpatient (same-day) approach to a specific prolapse repair surgery is safe and practical, using a double-mesh method with or without robotic help. You may be offered the surgery under guidance of the study team if you meet the health and medical safety criteria.
This study compares a surgical technique to treat uterine prolapse (when the uterus drops into the vaginal canal) by using stitches to attach it to a strong ligament in the pelvis. The goal is to see if this approach is a good option for women who want to keep their uterus and have no plans for future pregnancies.
