Prolapse surgery without overnight stay? new study tests feasibility
NCT ID NCT03573752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether laparoscopic promontofixation, a common surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, can be safely performed as an outpatient procedure. Sixty women who needed the surgery were discharged 8 hours after the operation. The main goal was to see how many needed to be readmitted to the hospital. Patients also filled out questionnaires about their pain, anxiety, and overall satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- outpatient management (early discharge after laparoscopic promontofixation)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that laparoscopic prolapse repair can be safely done as outpatient surgery, reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Outpatient management may not be suitable for all patients, and there is a risk of complications requiring readmission.
