ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical methods for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women, specifically focusing on a type called apical prolapse, which can occur after a hysterectomy. The trial aims to compare the success rates of two approaches: one that accesses the area from the front (anterior) of the vagina and another that approaches it from the back (posterior). Researchers want to find out which method works better for women suffering from this condition.

To be eligible for the trial, women need to have a certain level of prolapse (grade 2 or higher) in both the apical area and the front wall of the vagina and must be experiencing symptoms that require surgery. The trial is currently looking for participants, and those who join can expect to undergo one of the two surgical methods while contributing to important research that could help improve treatment for pelvic organ prolapse in the future.
