First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two surgical techniques for repairing a cystocele, a type of pelvic organ prolapse where the bladder bulges into the vagina. The two methods were laparoscopic sacropexy (keyhole surgery using a mesh) and vaginal mesh surgery. The trial enrolled 262 women and looked at complications and outcomes one year after surgery. The goal was to see which approach is safer and more effective.
