Transvaginal Mesh Surgery Is Sufficient to Repair Pelvic Organ Prolapse Compared to Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeBoth laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) and transvaginal mesh surgery (TVM) may provide favorable outcomes for patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, in our experience, LSC tends to be performed for severe POP and TVM for POP of a moderate or earlier stage. This study aimed to examine the postoperative results of the 2 groups including the preoperative parameters as closely as possible.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 238 patients with POP who underwent LSC or TVM at National Defense Medical College Hospital between September 2014 and January 2024. In our hospital, 94 patients were treated by LSC, whereas 144 were treated by TVM. After using nearest-neighbor propensity score matching, the surgical outcomes were compared between the matched 76 patients treated with LSC and 76 treated with TVM.
resultsTo perform nearest-neighbor propensity score matching, the body mass index (BMI), POP stage, and number of laparotomies were used as explanatory variables. After propensity score matching, no significant differences in BMI, POP stage, and number of previous laparotomies were found between the matched LSC and TVM groups. Significant differences in age, blood loss, and operating time still existed even after propensity score matching. No significant differences in the occurrence of urinary incontinence or mesh exposure or prolapse recurrence were found between the matched LSC and TVM groups in all patients and patients with stage 4 POP. Moreover, no significant differences in the time to prolapse recurrence or urinary incontinence were found between the matched LSC and TVM groups (P=0.627 and P=0.235, respectively).
conclusionBased on the analysis using nearest-neighbor propensity score matching, both surgical methods were effective treatment approaches of POP. TVM would be sufficient to treat POP given its shorter operative time and low complication rates.
