Keyhole surgery aims to fix multiple pelvic organ prolapses at once
NCT ID NCT06330857
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new keyhole surgery (laparoscopic vaginorectopexy) in 25 women with multiple pelvic organ prolapses causing bowel problems. Researchers checked how well the surgery worked by looking at prolapse recurrence, bowel function, and quality of life up to 12 months after surgery, with a long-term follow-up planned at 10 years. The goal is to see if this single procedure can effectively treat several prolapses at once.

- Active substance
- Laparoscopic vaginorectopexy (a keyhole surgery to repair multiple pelvic prolapses)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this surgical technique could offer a single procedure to treat multiple pelvic prolapses and improve bowel function and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 25 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to everyone, and surgery carries risks like complications or recurrence.
