Pelvic prolapse surgery showdown: which method causes less leakage?

NCT ID NCT03200327

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two surgical procedures for treating pelvic organ prolapse in women aged 50-80. One method uses a vaginal approach (sacrospinofixation) and the other uses keyhole surgery through the abdomen (laparoscopic promontofixation). The goal was to see which causes less new stress urinary incontinence after surgery. The trial was terminated early and enrolled 55 participants.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that one surgical method reduces post-surgery urine leakage and costs less than the other, with similar effectiveness.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early and had only 55 participants, so results may be inconclusive. Surgical risks like pain or sexual discomfort remain possible.
