Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of surgery for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse to determine which surgery works best from a patient's perspective and has the lowest number of short-term and long-term complications.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-site, randomized controlled trial, where women with the confirmed diagnosis of uterovaginal prolapse will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either A) a minimally invasive supracervical hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy (MI-SCH+SCP) or B) total vaginal hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension (TVH+USLS). After surgery, participants will be followed for 3 years including physical pelvic exams and validated symptom questionnaires to assess for the primary and secondary outcomes. A subset of participants will participate in semi-structured interviews, before surgery and through 2 years after surgery, that will assess patient recovery, satisfaction with care, and calibrate surveyed and clinically assessed outcomes to the daily life experiences of women.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Treatment failure
Time Frame: 36 months post-surgery
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.
