NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT07458295Recruiting
Liposomal bupivacaine for pain after gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected into the abdominal wall can reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic cancer. If effective, it may help patients recover with less discomfort and fewer painkillers.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT05974995Recruiting
Robotic or standard surgery for early uterine cancer in obesity
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery versus standard laparoscopic surgery for people with early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer and a BMI of 30 or higher. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for this group.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT07230262Recruiting
Robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for IBD patients
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic and laparoscopic—for people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who need elective colon or rectal surgery. It aims to find out which approach might be better for recovery and outcomes.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06636864Enrolling by invitation
Morphine injection for better recovery after colon cancer surgery
This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07314996Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. open surgery for colon cancer with belly fat
This trial compares laparoscopy (minimally invasive) and open surgery for treating colon cancer in people with extra belly fat around internal organs (visceral obesity). The goal is to see which approach gives better recovery and outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07579780Recruiting
Nerve Block During Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a pain-relief technique called a nerve block during minimally invasive surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The block numbs nerves in the lower abdomen to potentially reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06550869Recruiting
A new nerve block for less pain after kidney surgery
This trial tests a specific nerve block (anterior quadratus lumborum block) given during laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery. It may help patients who need a nephrectomy (kidney removal) or partial nephrectomy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT03785743Recruiting
Compare keyhole vs open surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery for pancreatic cancer: keyhole (small cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s meant to see which approach works better for people who are well enough for either option.
