Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women undergoing hysterectomy for benign or malignant indications who have stage 1 or greater pelvic organ prolapse.

Probably not a fit

Women without prolapse or those not suitable for vault suspension may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates a novel Mackenrodt and uterosacral double ligament vault suspension performed at the time of total abdominal hysterectomy. The goal is to reduce post-hysterectomy pelvic organ prolapse by supporting the vaginal apex. Participants are women undergoing hysterectomy with at least stage 1 prolapse, and those with prior suspension surgery or pregnancy within six months are excluded. The study is conducted at Women's Health Hospital in Asyut under Assiut University as the lead sponsor. Outcomes will inform whether this approach improves pelvic floor support after hysterectomy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the technique could reduce the risk of vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy and improve long-term pelvic floor health.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research suggests pelvic support at hysterectomy may lower the risk of subsequent prolapse, but this specific double-ligament technique is being evaluated.
