Prolapse of female genital organ

This study is testing a new robotic system, the Medtronic Hugo™, for performing hysterectomies. It includes 70 patients with conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or certain cancers. The goal is to see if the robot is safe and can complete the surgery without switching…

This study compares two common surgeries for uterine prolapse: a minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and a vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension. Researchers will track 300 women to see which surgery has fewer failures and complications from the patient's perspe…

This study tests whether adding a posterior repair (tightening the vaginal opening) to standard prolapse surgery helps prevent the prolapse from returning within a year. About 200 women with advanced prolapse are taking part. Half get the extra procedure, half do not, and researc…

This study tests a new device called i-Stitch for repairing pelvic organ prolapse in 100 women. The device is used to attach the top of the vagina to a ligament in the pelvis. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well. Researchers will measure symptoms, quality of life, and…

This study tested a new laparoscopic surgery using an inverted T-shaped mesh to fix both the top and front of the vagina in women with advanced prolapse. Sixty-seven women who wanted to keep their uterus were followed for one year. The goal was to see if the new technique is safe…

This study compares two types of stitches used during minimally invasive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse in women. The goal is to see if barbed sutures (which hold tissue without knots) can attach the vaginal mesh faster than traditional interrupted sutures. Fifty-two women wil…

This study watches a single gynecology resident as they learn to perform a hysterectomy through the vagina using a special camera, leaving no belly scars. The goal is to see how quickly the resident improves, measuring surgery time and any complications. Nineteen women with benig…

This study is creating a biobank—a collection of blood samples and health data—to help researchers better understand gynecological disorders, infertility in men and women, and pregnancy-related conditions. Up to 3,000 participants will provide samples at San Raffaele Hospital in …
