Surgery showdown: which cystocele repair holds up best?

NCT ID NCT02272361

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compared two surgical techniques—laparoscopic sacropexy and vaginal mesh surgery—for repairing a cystocele (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Researchers followed 220 women for four years to see which approach provided better symptom relief and fewer complications. The goal is to help doctors and patients choose the best option for long-term results.
