Pregnancy results after laparoscopic lateral suspension surgery.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis case series aims to investigate pregnancy results and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) recurrence after uterus-sparing laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) in fertility-seeking prolapse patients.
methodsThis is a single-center retrospective patient data review study. Between 2019 and 2025, A total of 125 women underwent LLS for POP stage II–III with predominantly anterior and apical defects. Among the 73 patients of reproductive age, 53 did not undergo tubal ligation, and 11 subsequently became pregnant. These women were followed up for 3–6 months and up to 2–5 years, demonstrating stable anatomical outcomes.
resultsA total of eleven women experienced a postoperative pregnancy, with one resulting in spontaneous abortion. Ten women proceeded with their pregnancies, and two resulted in premature delivery. All other babies exhibited a weight commensurate with their gestational age. The patients were offered an elective cesarean section in order to preserve the anatomical results of prolapse surgery. All deliveries were conducted via cesarean section, and no intraoperative complications were encountered during the incisions. Evaluations at the three- and six-month follow-up visits were recorded, while long-term outcomes (2–5 years) were obtained through structured telephone interviews after LLS.One patient exhibited a recurrence of apical prolapse.
conclusionLaparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) appears to be a safe and effective uterus-preserving procedure for women with pelvic organ prolapse who desire future fertility. Pregnancy after LLS can progress normally, and cesarean section may be the preferred delivery mode to minimize recurrence risk. Despite encouraging outcomes, larger and long-term studies are required to validate these findings.
