Combined laparo-endoscopic sentinel node surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial tests a surgical technique that combines two types of minimally invasive procedures (laparoscopy and endoscopy) to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer (called the sentinel lymph node) in people with early stomach cancer. The goal is to remove only the necessary lymph nodes, potentially reducing side effects while ensuring the cancer hasn't spread.
Changchun, JilinAges Any age - NCT03353467Recruiting
Surgery through the nose for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive surgery done through the nose can help people newly diagnosed with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It looks for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who are healthy enough for the procedure and follow-up.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04890171Recruiting
Endoscopic removal vs surgery for early stomach cancer type
This trial compares two ways to treat early stomach cancer: removing it through an endoscope versus doing an operation. It’s meant for a specific stomach-cancer type (undifferentiated) that has not spread, to see which approach may be better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–75 - NCT07837427Recruiting
Different water pressures during minimally invasive back surgery
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT06533267Recruiting
Endoscopic surgery vs. radiation for early-stage nasal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for stage I nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nasal cancer). It tests whether a minimally invasive surgery (endoscopic surgery) is as good as or better than radiation therapy. It may be an option for people whose cancer is small and hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05725967Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic and bariatric procedures for obesity
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07714525RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid nanocapsules after nasal surgery
This trial tests whether a new form of steroid (triamcinolone) delivered in tiny capsules can improve healing after common nasal surgeries for chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps.
Minya, Menia GovernorateAges 18–60 - NCT06105515Recruiting
Keyhole and scope combo rescue for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combined laparoscopy and endoscopy procedure as a rescue treatment for advanced stomach cancer. It is for patients who have a tumor that hasn't spread to other parts but cannot have standard stomach removal surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07872150Recruiting
Minimally invasive vs. open surgery for varicose vein treatment
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating advanced varicose veins, one using a small camera and the other using traditional open surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better results with fewer complications.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07550582Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Surgery for small tumors at the food pipe opening
This trial tests a new surgical approach combining laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery with endoscopy (a camera procedure) to remove small tumors located where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to safely remove these tumors while preserving normal function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06748677Recruiting
Nipple-sparing mastectomy with robotic help and implant reconstruction
This trial tests a newer, less invasive way to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, using robotic or endoscopic tools. It then rebuilds the breast with an implant wrapped in a non-biological mesh. The goal is to see how well patients recover and how they feel about the results.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07708012Recruiting
Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer
This study tests a less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07653152Recruiting
Endoscopic vs open surgery for male breast reduction
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing male breast gland tissue in men with gynecomastia. One method uses small cuts and a camera (endoscopic), the other uses a standard cut (open surgery) – both aim to preserve the nipple and areola.
AntalyaAges 18–60 - NCT05574244Recruiting
Partial vs complete prostate surgery to preserve ejaculation
This trial compares two surgical approaches for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH): one that aims to preserve ejaculation and one that removes more tissue. It looks at how well you recover urinary function and sexual outcomes after surgery.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 40 years+ - NCT02975310Recruiting
In-clinic endoscopy surgery for chronic sinus polyps
This trial tests an in-clinic (not hospital) endoscopic procedure to remove nasal polyps in people with chronic sinus inflammation, after usual medicines haven’t helped. It may help reduce nasal blockage and improve sinus symptoms, while comparing safety and outcomes after the procedure.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06221020Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for endoscopic surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 85 recruiting endoscopic surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a endoscopic surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a endoscopic surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
