Mesh vs sutures: which surgery works best for pelvic organ prolapse?
NCT ID NCT02965313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (when organs like the bladder or uterus drop into the vagina). One method uses a synthetic mesh, the other uses standard sutures. About 358 women will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries and followed for 2 years to see which approach is more successful and durable. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the need for repeat treatment.
