HUSLS vs R-SCP for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial compares two surgeries for treating pelvic organ prolapse: one uses a robot to place a supportive mesh, and the other uses stitches to lift and secure the organs through the vagina. The goal is to find out which method is more effective.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the study team for guidance.
Is the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse using HUSLS or R-SCP generally safe for humans?
Research comparing robotic sacrocolpopexy (R-SCP) and uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) for pelvic organ prolapse shows that both procedures have been evaluated for safety, with data on pain scores, opioid use, and adverse events. These studies suggest that both treatments are generally safe, with some differences in recovery experiences.12345
How does the treatment HUSLS vs R-SCP for pelvic organ prolapse differ from other treatments?
High uterosacral ligament suspension (HUSLS) and robotic sacrocolpopexy (R-SCP) are surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse, which occurs when pelvic organs drop from their normal position. HUSLS involves suspending the pelvic organs using the uterosacral ligaments, while R-SCP uses robotic assistance to attach the pelvic organs to the sacrum (a bone at the base of the spine). These methods are unique because they offer different surgical approaches to support the pelvic organs, with HUSLS being performed through the vagina and R-SCP using robotic technology for precision.14567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse who can consent, attend all study visits, and have transportation within 2 hours of LLUH. It's not for those without transport or financial means, with Alzheimer's, dementia, opposition to mesh use due to beliefs or past complications, pregnancy plans during the study, chronic undetermined pelvic pain over 6 months, certain comorbidities like fibromyalgia or interstitial cystitis.Inclusion Criteria
