Study Summary

This study is a single-center, non-blinded, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial, planning to recruit 86 patients with Stage III or higher pelvic organ prolapse who are unresponsive to conservative treatment and are requesting surgical treatment. Patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation group and the laparoscopic lateral suspension group in a 1:1 ratio. Follow-ups will be conducted at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery for the enrolled patients. The primary outcome measure is the difference in surgical success rate between the two groups of patients at 1 year after surgery. We hypothesize that the surgical success rate of laparoscopic lateral suspension is not inferior to that of transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation
