Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study is to compare the two most common corrective surgeries in the U.S. for uterovaginal prolapse (UVP). For now, no high-quality data exists to help guide patients and surgeons on the best option for treatment of UVP. The goal of the study is to find out which surgery works best from a patient's perspective and has the lowest number of short-term and long-term medical problems.
