Postoperative Vaginal Compression After Prolapse Surgery - an RCT

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

No postoperative vaginal compression: No vaginal compression through vaginal gauze packing after urogynecolocigal surgery

Postoperative vaginal compression: Postoperative vaginal compression through vaginal gauze packing after urogynecolocigal surger

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if omitting postoperative vaginal compression (packing) can facilitate a more efficient recovery after elective surgery for uterovaginal prolapse. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the omission of vaginal compression result in a non-inferior (unchanged) rate of prolapse recurrence within the first three months after surgery? Does the omission of vaginal compression lead to a shorter hospital stay and a faster return of normal bladder function? Researchers will compare a group that receives no postoperative vaginal compression to a control group that receives standard vaginal gauze packing for two hours to see if skipping the packing leads to shorter hospital stays and faster bladder emptying without increasing the risk of the prolapse returning.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

  Prolapse recurrence within the first 3 months postoperatively, defined as one of the following: new treatment for prolapse (pessary or surgery), or prolapse grade 3 or greater, or prolapse grade 2 with concurrent prolapse symptoms.
