Comparing two less invasive surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new surgical method called vNOTES for repairing pelvic organ prolapse without using mesh. It aims to see if this approach improves symptoms and anatomy recovery for women with moderate to severe prolapse.
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 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 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.
