Own-Tissue surgery for prolapse shows promise in small study
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- anterior sacrospinofixation surgery using the patient's own tissue
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that using a woman's own tissue for prolapse repair effectively eases symptoms, offering an alternative to synthetic mesh.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 66 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to all women, and long-term outcomes beyond 2 months are unknown.
