Comparing two types of prolapse closure surgery in older women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 tests whether one type of vaginal wall repair works better than another surgery for women with vaginal bulging (anterior prolapse). It may help find the safest and most effective operation to reduce symptoms.
