Comparing two surgical repairs for pelvic organ prolapse
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse at stage 2 or higher, which may also affect the front or back of your pelvic area.
- You are willing to commit to at least one year of follow-up appointments.
- You agree to sign a consent form to participate in the study.
- You have not had prior prolapse or incontinence surgery that used mesh or other implant materials.
- You do not need additional surgery for urinary incontinence at the same time, and you are not planning to keep your uterus.
- You are generally healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and surgery.

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.
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 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 two different ways of performing a surgery called colpocleisis, which closes the vagina to treat severe pelvic organ prolapse. It is for women 70 and older who no longer want vaginal sex and who want to avoid a more complex operation.
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.
