New graft shows promise for vaginal wall repair
NCT ID NCT06117670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using a gamma-irradiated amniotic membrane as a graft during surgical repair of the back vaginal wall helps women with rectocele (a type of pelvic organ prolapse). Twenty-five women aged 30-60 underwent the surgery. The approach aimed to improve prolapse severity and symptoms, and results showed benefits in prolapse assessment and symptom scores.
