Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 50 and older with symptomatic primary prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with previous surgical cystocele repair or those requiring treatment for myorraphy of levator ani muscles may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of vaginal patch plastron compared to anterior colporraphy for treating pelvic organ prolapse in women aged 50 and older. It focuses on assessing both anatomic and functional success rates at one year post-surgery. The study addresses the significant psychological distress and quality of life issues caused by prolapse, which affects a large percentage of older women. By utilizing native tissue repair methods, the study seeks to minimize complications associated with synthetic mesh repairs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a safer and more effective surgical option for women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown varying success rates with native tissue repairs, but this specific comparison of vaginal patch plastron and anterior colporraphy is novel.
