Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Lateral Suspension With or Without Hysterectomy in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Turkey (Türkiye)87 participantsStarted 2025-05-28
Plain-language summary
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) with and without hysterectomy in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that affects many women and can significantly reduce quality of life. Laparoscopic lateral suspension is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to correct this condition. In some cases, the uterus is preserved, while in others, hysterectomy is performed at the same time.
The study retrospectively evaluates patients who underwent laparoscopic lateral suspension, either with or without hysterectomy, at SBÜ Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital. Medical records were reviewed to collect information about surgery duration, anatomical success (measured by the POP-Q system), complication rates, blood loss, hospital stay, and recurrence rates.
The goal of this study is to determine whether performing a hysterectomy during laparoscopic lateral suspension has a significant effect on surgical outcomes. The findings may help guide surgical decision-making and improve treatment strategies for women with pelvic organ prolapse.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
