Uterus-Saving surgery showdown: which fix works best for pelvic organ prolapse?
NCT ID NCT06982157
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques for pelvic organ prolapse that keep the uterus in place: vaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation and laparoscopic uterosacral ligament suspension. Researchers followed 111 women for up to two years after surgery, checking both symptoms and physical exam results. The goal is to find out which method works better and for whom, so doctors can offer more personalized care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgery (vaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation vs. laparoscopic uterosacral ligament suspension)
- What this could lead to
- If this study shows one surgery is clearly better, it could help doctors choose the best approach for each patient, reducing repeat prolapse and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-hospital study with only 111 patients. Results may not apply to everyone, and both surgeries have risks like pain or future prolapse.
