Comparing two surgical fixes for pelvic organ prolapse
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pelvic organ prolapse that is moderate to severe (stage 2 or higher on the POP-Q scale)
- You are willing to have surgery and be followed for at least one year after
- You have not had prior prolapse or incontinence surgery that used mesh or other implants
- You do not need a separate incontinence surgery during the same operation
- You are not planning to keep your uterus
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and have no active infections or genital cancers

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 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.
This trial compares two ways to perform a surgery called colpocleisis (closing the vagina) to treat pelvic organ prolapse in older women. It looks at which method is safer and works better for women who are not planning to have vaginal sex.
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 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).
