SASS is a study comparing two types of surgery to help women with pelvic organ prolapse (when organs like the bladder drop) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which is leaking urine when sneezing or coughing. The study looks at a single-incision sling (SIS) and a retropubic mid-urethral sling (RP). Both are done during a sacrocolpopexy, a procedure that lifts pelvic organs using a mesh. To join, women need to be at least 21, have signs of pelvic organ prolapse, and show SUI in tests. They must also agree to attend follow-up visits.
Key Points:
- The study involves surgeries during sacrocolpopexy.
- Participants must be willing to return for follow-up visits.
- Some women may not qualify if they have certain medical conditions or past surgeries.
