SCP vs HUSLS for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair

January 2, 2025 updated by: Loma Linda University

Robotic Sacrocolpopexy Versus High Uterosacral Ligament Suspension: A Randomized Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of R-SCP versus HUSLS for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To compare the effectiveness of Robotic Sacrocolpopexy versus vaginal High Uterosacral Ligament Suspension for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Both surgeries are standard of care and are equally and widely used throughout the country with well known safety and efficacy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sacrocolpopexy
Robotic sacrocolpopexy
Sacrocolpopexy is a procedure to surgically correct vaginal vault prolapse where mesh is used to hold the vagina in the correct anatomical position. Robotic assistance is a minimally invasive method to perform this abdominal procedure.
Other Names:
  • R-SCP
Active Comparator: HUSLS
Vaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension
Utilizing uterosacral ligaments to support the vaginal cuff can be performed vaginally-by passing sutures bilaterally through the uterosacral ligaments. near the level of the ischial spine. HUSLS is a vaginal minimally invasive procedure for POP.
Other Names:
  • HUSLS
