New mesh could improve pelvic surgery outcomes
NCT ID NCT06430931
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new biological mesh (OviTex) works better than the standard synthetic mesh for women having robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. About 184 participants will be followed to compare complications and symptom relief. The goal is to find a safer and more effective option for this common condition.
