Can a mesh implant fix a bladder bulge for good? a five-year checkup puts it to the test.
NCT ID NCT07730749
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at women who had surgery to repair a cystocele — a type of pelvic organ prolapse where the bladder bulges into the vagina — using a special mesh coated with collagen. The goal is to see whether the repair holds up well and remains safe more than five years after the procedure. Researchers will check if the bladder stays in place and whether urinary symptoms or sexual function have improved over the long term.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transvaginal cystocele repair using four-armed collagen coated polyester mesh
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the mesh repair provides lasting anatomical correction and symptom relief for women with cystocele.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. Mesh complications such as erosion or pain remain possible.
