One surgery, two problems? a new approach to pelvic floor repair
NCT ID NCT05910021
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether combining two laparoscopic procedures—resection rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy—can safely and effectively treat women who have both pelvic organ prolapse and obstructive defecation syndrome (a type of chronic constipation). The study will enroll 35 women who are eligible for laparoscopic surgery and can undergo general anesthesia. Researchers will measure safety by tracking post-surgical complications and evaluate effectiveness by assessing prolapse severity and bowel function after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combined laparoscopic resection rectopexy and sacrocolpopexy surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combined surgical approach could offer a more effective, one-time treatment for women suffering from both pelvic organ prolapse and severe constipation, improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small study (35 participants) focused on safety and short-term outcomes. Surgery carries risks like complications from anesthesia, bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs, and long-term effectiveness is not yet established.
