Vaginal Support Surgery After Hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a surgical technique to support the vagina after hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) in women with pelvic organ prolapse—when pelvic organs shift downward and may cause pressure or bulging. The goal is to improve comfort and function using the body's own tissues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a hysterectomy (surgical removal of your uterus)
- You have been diagnosed with stage 1 or higher pelvic organ prolapse (organs sagging in the vaginal area)
- You are not currently pregnant and are not within 6 months after giving birth
- You have not had previous vaginal suspension or support surgery
- You are willing to undergo the specific surgical technique being studied

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 tests a surgery called uterosacral ligament suspension to treat uterine prolapse. The goal is to see how well it works when the uterus is kept in place, using small incisions (laparoscopy), and it may be a good option if you have prolapse and don't want more children.
This trial compares two surgical procedures to treat uterine prolapse (a symptom-causing “bulge” or dropping of pelvic organs). You may be placed into one of the surgery groups, and one option involves using a synthetic support material (mesh).
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 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 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.
