What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing two minimally invasive surgeries-laparoscopic lateral suspension and laparoscopic sacrocolporopexy-for women who develop vaginal cuff prolapse after hysterectomy. Vaginal cuff prolapse occurs when the top of the vagina loses support after the uterus is removed, which can cause discomfort, bulging, or urinary and bowel problems.
