Predicting Incontinence Risk After Pelvic Floor Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study helps doctors predict which patients may develop urinary incontinence (leakage) after surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop into the vaginal canal). By identifying risk factors early, doctors may be able to better prepare patients and prevent this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Moderate to severe pelvic organ prolapse (stage II or higher on clinical exam)
- Need surgical treatment for your pelvic organ prolapse
- No history of urinary incontinence before surgery
- No current urinary tract or reproductive system infections
- Never had prior surgery for incontinence or mesh repair for prolapse
- No neurological conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows women who have vaginal surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop due to weakened support). Researchers will track whether patients maintain good bladder control after surgery and identify factors that help predict the best outcomes.
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 well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic floor muscle training with vaginal estrogen therapy can help postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise, this treatment may strengthen your pelvic floor and improve bladder control.
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 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.
