Glue instead of stitches: new fix for prolapse surgery?
NCT ID NCT02011373
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a synthetic glue called IFABOND to attach surgical mesh during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, a surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The goal was to see if using glue instead of staples or stitches reduces complications like vaginal erosion. 70 women with advanced prolapse took part, and the main measure was how well the prolapse correction held up after 12 months.
