New mesh surgery shows promise for prolapse repair
NCT ID NCT07411898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new laparoscopic surgery using an inverted T-shaped mesh to fix both the top and front of the vagina in women with advanced prolapse. Sixty-seven women who wanted to keep their uterus were followed for one year. The goal was to see if the new technique is safe and works as well as the standard mesh surgery.
