NCT ID NCT04270188

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether a surgery called anterior sacrospinofixation, which uses a woman's own tissue instead of synthetic mesh, can improve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. 66 women with moderate to severe prolapse were followed for 2 months after surgery. The main goal was to see how many reported feeling better on a standard symptom scale.
