Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with Stage II-IV primary or recurrent prolapse affecting the anterior or middle vaginal compartment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Stage I prolapse or those who prefer vaginal surgical treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) technique for correcting anterior apical vaginal prolapse. It aims to assess the effectiveness of mesh fixation in providing anatomical and functional outcomes comparable to traditional surgical methods while reducing intraoperative complications. The study will involve patients with varying stages of pelvic floor disorders and will focus on the learning curve associated with sacropexy. Participants will undergo the LLS procedure without posterior mesh fixation on the puborrectalis muscle.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a safer and more effective surgical option for patients with pelvic floor disorders.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with laparoscopic techniques for pelvic floor disorders, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
