Mesh showdown: which surgery fixes prolapse best?
NCT ID NCT04478747
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of mesh surgery for women with pelvic organ prolapse after a hysterectomy. One surgery uses a mesh placed through the vagina, the other uses a mesh placed through small cuts in the belly (laparoscopic). The main goal is to see which surgery works better at stopping the feeling of a vaginal bulge one year later. The study also looks at safety, pain, and costs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical mesh (BSC mesh for transvaginal; EndoGYNious mesh for laparoscopic colposacropexy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which mesh surgery is more effective and safer for treating apical prolapse, helping guide future treatment choices.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 318 participants, so results may not apply to all women. Mesh surgeries carry risks like pain, erosion, and complications.
