Finnish study comparing uterine prolapse surgery options
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman over 18 years old
- You have moderate-to-severe uterine prolapse (stage 2 or higher) confirmed by a pelvic exam
- You have never had surgery for prolapse before
- You are healthy enough for vaginal surgery and can speak Finnish or Swedish
- Your cervix and uterus are healthy (no cancer, abnormal bleeding, or suspicious cell changes)
- You are willing to be followed up after surgery and can commit to study visits

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 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 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 tracks how well women recover after surgery for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. You will wear a small activity monitor before and after surgery to see how your activity level changes, and you'll follow a simple exercise plan to help your recovery.
This study looks at how the position of pelvic organs changes after a routine hysterectomy (uterus removal) for non-cancer reasons. It will help doctors understand if certain women are more likely to need future treatment for prolapse.
This trial tests whether using vaginal estrogen before and after prolapse surgery helps improve recovery and long-term results. Women having apical suspension surgery (to support the top of the vagina) may benefit.
