This study tested a synthetic glue called IFABOND to attach surgical mesh during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, a surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The goal was to see if using glue instead of staples or stitches reduces complications like vaginal erosion. 70 women with advanced p…

This study tested whether using a gamma-irradiated amniotic membrane as a graft during surgical repair of the back vaginal wall helps women with rectocele (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Twenty-five women aged 30-60 underwent the surgery. The approach aimed to improve prolapse…

This study compared two types of minimally invasive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse in 365 women. One group had robot-assisted surgery, while the other had standard laparoscopic surgery without a robot. The main goal was to see which approach had fewer complications within 30 d…

This study compared two surgical methods—sacrospinous fixation and v-notes lateral suspension—for treating pelvic organ prolapse in 70 women aged 35-75. Researchers measured how well each surgery restored anatomy and improved quality of life. The goal is to find which approach of…

This study looked at 75 women who had surgery for bladder prolapse (a condition where the bladder bulges into the vagina). It compared two techniques: one using a mesh support and one without. The goal was to see which method works better over 5 to 8 years, focusing on whether th…

This study tested a special mesh (Uphold LITE) to treat uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus drops into the vagina. 121 women received the mesh and were followed for 12 months. The goal was to see if the mesh could restore normal anatomy and relieve symptoms without nee…

This study compares two surgical techniques for pelvic organ prolapse that keep the uterus in place: vaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation and laparoscopic uterosacral ligament suspension. Researchers followed 111 women for up to two years after surgery, checking both symptoms a…

This study tested two non-surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in 28 women: a special electromagnetic chair (HIFEM) and pelvic floor exercises with biofeedback. Both were compared to usual care (lifestyle advice). The goal was to see which approach better eases sym…

This study tested a pelvic support girdle called FemmeJock in 100 women with pelvic organ prolapse. Participants wore the girdle during daytime physical activity for 3 months. The goal was to see if it improved symptoms like pelvic pressure and bulging, and whether women were sat…

This study looked at whether taking a laxative (polyethylene glycol 3350) both before and after surgery helps reduce discomfort during bowel movements after pelvic prolapse repair. 74 women having minimally invasive surgery were randomly assigned to take the laxative before and a…

This study looked at whether placing a vaginal pack after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (a surgery to fix pelvic organ prolapse) affects women's pain and satisfaction. About 250 women were randomly assigned to receive packing or not. The goal was to see if packing reduces complicat…

This study looked at whether a surgery called anterior sacrospinofixation, which uses a woman's own tissue instead of synthetic mesh, can improve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. 66 women with moderate to severe prolapse were followed for 2 months after surgery. The main goal w…

This study looked at 70 women having robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. It compared standard gas pressure (15 mmHg) to a slightly lower pressure (12 mmHg) during the operation. The main goal was to see if the lower pressure led to less pain right after surgery, without ma…

This study looked at whether using a special footstool to change your sitting posture on the toilet can make bowel movements easier for people with a rectocele (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Sixty participants tried the device and rated their straining on a 0-10 scale. The go…

This study tested whether a quadratus lumborum (QL) nerve block can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. 70 women were randomly assigned to receive either the QL block or standard enhanced recovery care. Researchers meas…
