Uterosacral ligament suspension for uterine prolapse
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a surgery called uterosacral ligament suspension to treat uterine prolapse. The goal is to see how well it works when the uterus is kept in place, using small incisions (laparoscopy), and it may be a good option if you have prolapse and don't want more children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have uterine prolapse that is stage 2 or higher (the uterus is at least 1 cm past the vaginal opening).
- You do not plan to have children in the future.
- You have not had a hysterectomy (uterus removal) or any prior surgery for prolapse or pelvic floor problems.
- You are not currently needing surgery for urinary incontinence (leaking urine) at the same time.
- You are healthy enough for laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and do not have untreated infections, blood clotting problems, or nerve/muscle conditions that affect bladder or bowel control.

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 surgical procedures to treat uterine prolapse (a symptom-causing “bulge” or dropping of pelvic organs). You may be placed into one of the surgery groups, and one option involves using a synthetic support material (mesh).
This trial studies a surgical technique to support the vagina after hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) in women with pelvic organ prolapse—when pelvic organs shift downward and may cause pressure or bulging. The goal is to improve comfort and function using the body's own tissues.
This trial compares two types of vaginal surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop out of place). The goal is to see which method works better and has fewer side effects. You may qualify if you have prolapse symptoms and are not planning to preserve your uterus.
This trial tests a surgery that uses a small piece of your own vaginal tissue to help hold the top of the vagina in place with a mesh sling. It is for women who have both front and top vaginal prolapse that bulges outside the opening.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscopic lateral suspension and V-NOTES lateral suspension using the Salman Ketenci Gencer method) to repair severe pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients who are sexually active.
