New stitch could cut surgery time for pelvic organ prolapse
NCT ID NCT05760794
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 will be randomly assigned to one of the two suture types, and the time to complete mesh attachment will be measured. The study also checks if the surgery is still successful after one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
barbed delayed absorbable suture (2-0 V-Loc)
What this could lead to
If barbed sutures work faster, this could shorten surgery time for women with pelvic organ prolapse, potentially reducing risks from longer anesthesia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The barbed suture might not save much time or could have different long-term success rates.
