New study aims to predict bladder control problems after pelvic surgery
NCT ID NCT07601282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some women develop stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing or sneezing) after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Researchers will follow 382 women who have no incontinence before surgery, using phone calls and questionnaires at 3, 6, and 12 months after their operation. The goal is to create a risk prediction model to help doctors identify which patients are most likely to develop this problem.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify women at higher risk of developing stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery, allowing for better pre-surgery counseling and follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. The model may not be accurate for all patients or settings.
