Study summary

This study is conducted in order to determinate the faisability of an intraoperative ultrasound to mesure the positioning of prostheses during laparoscopic promontofixation.

Read the detailed description

Genital prolapse is a very common functional pathology that affects 30% of women. The functional impact of prolapse is highly variable and may lead patients to consider surgery. Surgery for laparoscopic genital prolapse (laparoscopy) is a common practice. The placement of prostheses on the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina is sort of "estimated", performed without any quality control . This technique is associated with a high rate of patient satisfaction (90% satisfaction), but a risk of anatomical recurrence in 20-30% of cases and a risk of reoperation for relapse in 3% of cases. It is likely that the lower the intervesico-vaginal prosthesis, the lower the risk of cystocele relapse is important.The postoperative ultrasound visualization of prostheses placed in promontofixation is possible: they appear hyperechoic. In particular, in anterior, where a prosthesis is placed between the vagina and the bladder, it is possible to verify that this prosthesis supports the entire bladder base.Thus, it may be possible to check the correct position of the prostheses intraoperatively. If studies were conducted postoperatively, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the value of an intraoperative ultrasound control.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Intraoperative ultrasound

    An ultrasound of the position of the prosthesis during surgery, under general anesthesia, is performed. A follow-up visit will be carried out 2 months (± 1 month) after the surgery as part of the usual care. An ultrasound of the position of the prosthesis is performed without anesthesia, either as part of the treatment or as part of the research. This measurement is performed without the intraoperative measurement by an independent sonographer.

    Diagnostic Test: Intraoperative ultrasound and 2 months post-operative ultrasound ( ± 1 month)

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testIntraoperative ultrasound and 2 months post-operative ultrasound ( ± 1 month)

    An ultrasound of the position of the prosthesis during surgery, under general anesthesia, is performed. A follow-up visit will be carried out 2 months (± 1 month) after the surgery as part of the usual care.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Measure the distance (in mm) between the most distal part of the anterior prosthesis and the bladder neck.

    Comparaison of intraoperative measurement to postoperative measurement

    Time frame: at two months (± 1 month) of follow-up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Stage of prolapse

    Evaluate the stage of prolapse on clinical examination according to the International Continence Society (ICS) of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) classification (points Ba, Bp, C, D)

    Time frame: until 2 months post-operative

  2. Evaluate the symptoms with the PFDI-20 questionnaire

    The Pelvic Floor Disorders Inventory (PFDI-20) score : This is a questionnaire so that patients can answer questions about certain symptoms: intestines, bladder or pelvic

    Time frame: during 2 months post-operative

  3. Evaluate patient satisfaction with the PGI-I questionnaire (1-7)

    The Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) : The patient should check the box corresponding to the current state of her uro-gynecological problems compared to what they were before treatment

    Time frame: until 2 months post-operative

  4. Evaluate the symptoms with the PFIQ-7 questionnaire

    The Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) : describe how much les activities, relationships, or feelings have been affected by symptoms bladder, bowel, or vaginal or conditions over.

    Time frame: during 2 months post-operative

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Nov 2020, 33 months.

Of 71 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Congenital Abnormalities, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 71. This study's 33 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 76 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 72.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 9, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
