Timing of sling placement during prolapse surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if placing a sling to treat stress urinary incontinence before or after fixing pelvic organ prolapse changes outcomes. It may help women who need both procedures.

This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
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 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 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 treatments for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough or sneeze) done at the same time as surgery to fix a dropped bladder or uterus. One treatment is a small gel injection (bulking), the other is a sling procedure that supports the urethra.
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
