Laparoscopic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms from pelvic organ prolapse, like a feeling of bulging or pressure in the vagina.
- The prolapse reaches at least the opening of the vagina (hymen).
- If you still have your uterus, you agree to have it removed during surgery (supracervical hysterectomy).
- You are considered healthy enough for laparoscopic surgery with mesh.
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant.
- You can speak and understand Finnish well enough for the study forms.
- If you also need repair of the front or back vaginal wall, that will be done at the same time if needed.

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 study compares two surgical approaches for women with moderate-to-severe uterine prolapse (when the uterus drops into the vagina). The trial tests whether keeping your uterus during surgery works as well as removing it, with follow-up care over time.
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.
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 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 tests a new mesh implant to fix pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop down into the vagina). It looks at how safe and well the implant works in women who need surgery for this condition.
