Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment failure

    The primary outcome is treatment failure defined as the presence of at least one of the following: 1) presence of a vaginal bulge defined as lead point of prolapse beyond the hymen, 2) report of bothersome vaginal bulge symptoms irrespective of stage of prolapse, or 3) retreatment of symptomatic prolapse with pessary, or surgery.

    36 months post-surgery

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Postoperative pain medication use

    Post-surgery through Day 14

  • Change in surgical pain using VAS

    Baseline, Days 1, 7 and 14 post-surgery

  • Postoperative anti-emetic use

    Post-surgery through Day 14

  • Change in nausea using VAS

    Baseline, Days 1, 7 and 14 post-surgery

  • Change in fatigue using MAF

    Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 post-surgery

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Sacrocolpopexy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Minimally invasive supracervical hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy (MI-SCH+SCP)

Procedure: Minimally invasive supracervical hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy (MI-SCH+SCP)

Uterosacral Ligament Suspension

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Total vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension (TVH+USLS)

Procedure: Vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension (TVH+USLS)

Interventions

Minimally invasive robotic or laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy will be done, and the vaginal apex (including cervix) will be suspended utilizing sacrocolpopexy mesh to the anterior spinous ligament.

Sacrocolpopexy

The uterus will be removed vaginally and the vaginal apex will be suspended utilizing sutures in the uterosacral ligament.

Uterosacral Ligament Suspension
