- NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06559085Recruiting
Comparing two laparoscopic fixes for rectal prolapse
This trial is testing two different ways of doing laparoscopic surgery (using small incisions and a camera) to fix a complete rectal prolapse. The goal is to see which approach works better.
AsyutAges 18–75 - NCT07596498Recruiting
Comparing two surgical approaches for severe vaginal prolapse
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to repair severe dropping of the uterus or vaginal vault (the top of the vagina). Both procedures use small cameras and instruments, and the trial aims to understand which approach works better and how quickly surgeons learn each technique.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 40–75 - NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06867614Recruiting
Belly-scope vs. vaginal closure after uterus removal
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
CairoAges Any age - NCT06970626RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing pain relief methods after sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: one uses a medication called dexmedetomidine given through an IV, and the other uses a combination of nerve blocks (TAP block and paragastric block) to see which leads to a better recovery.
AlexandriaAges 20–60 - NCT06803160Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for uterovesical fistula repair
This trial compares two laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery methods to fix a uterovesical fistula, which is an abnormal opening between the bladder and uterus that can happen after C-section or other pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which method works best.
CairoAges Any age - NCT04037956Recruiting
No-tube surgery versus usual laparoscopy for rectosigmoid cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectosigmoid cancer: a “tubeless” method versus standard laparoscopic surgery. It aims to see which approach works better and is easier or safer for recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05330910Recruiting
Repair of a stomach valve during sleeve weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT04527861Recruiting
Minimally invasive single-incision surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT06219096Recruiting
Using a dye to guide liver tumor surgery with a camera
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons see liver tumors more clearly during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. A special dye (ICG) is used with a camera to guide the surgeon in removing just the right part of the liver. It may lead to safer and more precise surgery for people with liver cancer.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07858929Recruiting
Using a robotic helper for laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests a robotic system that assists surgeons during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. It may help make surgery more precise and could mean less pain and faster recovery.
PortsmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT07809620Recruiting
Acid reflux surgery: Who is likely to feel better?
This study looks at patients who are planning to have surgery for severe acid reflux (called fundoplication). It aims to find out which patients are most likely to see their symptoms improve after the operation, so doctors can better choose who will benefit.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06572501Recruiting
Robotic kidney tumor surgery: lying on stomach versus side
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during robotic kidney surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to see which position leads to better outcomes, like less pain or faster recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07744087Recruiting
Comparing two surgical methods for removing tumors near the pancreas
This trial compares two types of surgery to remove tumors that start near the pancreas but not in it. The goal is to see if a newer, less invasive method works as well as the standard approach, which may mean fewer cuts and a faster recovery.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07718828Recruiting
Comparing two types of hernia surgery for hiatal hernia
This study compares two laparoscopic surgery methods (Nissen vs Toupet) for fixing a hiatal hernia. Both aim to stop stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus and help relieve heartburn or reflux symptoms.
Sofia, Sofia-GradAges 18–90 - NCT07656571Recruiting
Green dye vs standard surgery for pancreas tail tumors
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery to surgery using a green dye that helps the surgeon see the pancreas more clearly. It may help patients needing removal of tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07591207Recruiting
Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07553143Recruiting
Melatonin before gallbladder removal surgery
This study tests whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) before elective gallbladder removal surgery helps patients recover better and feel less pain or discomfort afterward. Melatonin may help reduce stress on the body during surgery.
Dhaka, Dhaka DivisionAges 18–60 - NCT07533825Enrolling by invitation
Minimally Invasive Surgery Staging for Advanced Stomach Cancer
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure (laparoscopy) can better detect hidden cancer spread in patients with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to help doctors plan the best treatment and improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06756789Recruiting
Comparing standard vs. tailored limb lengths in gastric bypass
This study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
Coimbatore, Tamil NaduAges 18–65 - NCT06307886Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laparoscopic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 400 recruiting laparoscopic 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 laparoscopic 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 laparoscopic 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.
