New study tests which surgery works best for rectal prolapse in women
NCT ID NCT07673406
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two surgical techniques for women with full-thickness rectal prolapse: a modified rectosacrouteropexy and the standard Wells rectopexy. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer recurrences, fewer complications, and better pelvic floor function. Thirty-six women will be assigned to one of the two procedures and followed after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgical procedure (modified rectosacrouteropexy vs. Wells rectopexy)
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves better, it could reduce prolapse recurrence and improve pelvic floor function after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to all women. Surgery carries risks like infection or mesh complications.
