Laparoscopic surgery for prolapse repair: a multicenter study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests how well laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery fixes moderate to severe prolapse in the front or middle of the vagina. It is for women who have not had prior prolapse surgery through the belly or with vaginal mesh.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a prolapse that is stage II, III, or IV (moderate to severe) in the front or middle part of the vagina.
- Your prolapse causes symptoms (like a bulge or pressure) – not just a finding on exam.
- You have not had any prior surgery for prolapse through a cut in your belly or using vaginal mesh.
- You are willing to have laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) and not only vaginal surgery.
- You are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia (being put to sleep for the procedure).

This study tests two types of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where pelvic organs drop into the vaginal area. One method uses mesh to support the vaginal top, and the other repairs the front or back vaginal wall. It aims to find which approach works best.
This trial is testing two different ways of doing laparoscopic surgery (using small incisions and a camera) to fix a complete rectal prolapse. The goal is to see which approach works better.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to repair severe dropping of the uterus or vaginal vault (the top of the vagina). Both procedures use small cameras and instruments, and the trial aims to understand which approach works better and how quickly surgeons learn each technique.
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 to fix vaginal cuff prolapse (when the top of the vagina drops down) in women who have had a hysterectomy. It may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
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.
