Which mesh works best for prolapse? new study compares two options
NCT ID NCT03681223
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two different surgical meshes used to repair vaginal vault prolapse, a condition where the top of the vagina drops down. About 100 women having laparoscopic or robotic surgery received either Restorelle® Y mesh or Vertessa® Lite Y mesh. The goal was to see if the newer mesh works just as well as the standard one in preventing prolapse from coming back.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical mesh (Restorelle® Y mesh or Vertessa® Lite Y mesh)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that Vertessa® Lite Y mesh is a safe and effective alternative to Restorelle® Y mesh for prolapse repair, giving surgeons more options.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 106 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both meshes are already used in practice, so this is a comparison, not a breakthrough.
