Mesh surgery showdown: vaginal vs. robotic for prolapse repair
NCT ID NCT07359755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods using mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse in women. One approach uses vaginal mesh, the other uses robotic-assisted abdominal mesh. The goal is to see if vaginal mesh works as well as the robotic method and is just as safe. About 86 women will take part.
