Amniotic membrane to prevent mesh exposure after vaginal surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if placing a human amniotic membrane over surgical mesh during vaginal repair for pelvic organ prolapse can reduce the risk of the mesh pushing through the vaginal tissue. The study is for women who have not had a hysterectomy and may also have stress urinary incontinence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pelvic organ prolapse stage II or greater, with the lowest part of the prolapse at least 1 cm past the hymen.
- You have not had a hysterectomy.
- You may also have stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise).
- You have not had previous vaginal or abdominal surgery using synthetic mesh for prolapse repair.
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits for at least 12 months after surgery.

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 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.
This study tests a new pelvic mesh implant for laparoscopic surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse. It looks at how safe and well the implant works to support organs that have dropped.
This trial tests a new material made from donated human tissue to repair pelvic organ prolapse. It may help women with certain types of prolapse who have not had prior pelvic surgery.
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 studies whether a preventive laparoscopic mesh placed during pelvic surgery can reduce future problems for women with early (stage 2) prolapse affecting the bladder side. It may help prevent the prolapse from getting worse, but it also involves surgical risks and strict eligibility rules.
