Terlipressin or carbetocin shots to reduce bleeding in fibroid surgery
This study compares two different medications given as shots during laparoscopic fibroid (myomectomy) surgery. The goal is to see which shot better reduces blood loss and helps keep hemoglobin (a blood oxygen-carrying protein) from dropping too much.
MaadiAges 16–45 - NCT05179109Recruiting

OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05224089RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing shot comparison for pain control in laparoscopic colon surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (a longer-acting option versus standard numbing) placed near nerves to help control pain during laparoscopic colon surgery. It looks to see which method works better and is safe for patients having planned surgery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05272280Recruiting
Ultrasound nerve blocks for pain after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder (cholecystectomy) surgery. It may help by finding which method gives better pain relief with fewer side effects.
Asyut, Assiut, Asyut Governorate, Egypt,Ages 18–65 - NCT05299710Recruiting
Store ovarian tissue for future fertility in children
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before certain cancer treatments or surgeries that may affect fertility. It may help preserve the ability to have children later, especially when future fertility is at risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 11 years - NCT05309746Recruiting
Save ovarian tissue before cancer treatment
This trial studies freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before treatment that may permanently affect fertility and hormone production. You might consider it if you are planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation soon and want to preserve future options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 30 years - NCT05487092Recruiting
Letrozole to help prevent endometrioma coming back after surgery
This study tests whether taking letrozole after laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery can lower the chance that an endometrioma (a type of ovarian endometriosis cyst) comes back. It may help some people reduce recurrence after the cyst is removed.
Hong KongAges 18–45 - NCT05494086Recruiting
Laparoscopic stomach surgery for early gastric cancer
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05537129Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open stomach surgery for stomach cancer
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05677269Recruiting
Compare surgery for bowel endometriosis versus IVF pathway
This trial studies whether surgically removing colorectal (bowel) endometriosis works better and is more cost-effective than choosing an IVF/ICSI treatment plan. It’s for people who want to get pregnant and are deciding between surgery and fertility treatments.
EindhovenAges 21–40 - NCT05683041Recruiting
Prevent scar tissue in the uterus after fibroid surgery
This trial looks at ways to prevent scar tissue (intra-uterine adhesions) from forming after fibroid removal surgery. If you are having myomectomy, you may be helping test an approach that could protect the inside of your uterus.
GhentAges 18–45 - NCT05734300Recruiting
Surgery study for older adults with early colon cancer
This study looks at how well a planned surgery approach works for people age 75 and older with early-stage colon cancer. It may help improve outcomes by selecting the right patients for a specific colon operation plan.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 65 years+ - NCT05740579Recruiting
Storing eggs in teens with Turner syndrome variants
This study looks at freezing and storing eggs (cryopreservation) in children and teens with Turner syndrome or related genetic variants. It may help preserve the chance of having biological children later, if you are able to undergo the study procedures safely.
AarhusAges 2–17 - NCT05804591RecruitingPhase 4
Pregabalin during weight-loss surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests whether pregabalin can help with pain control for people having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). It may help reduce the discomfort around surgery and improve the overall recovery experience.
Warsaw, WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT05871099RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic stomach surgery with added heated fluid chemotherapy
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer versus the same surgery plus HIPEC, which is heated chemotherapy placed in the abdomen during the operation. It aims to see if adding the heated chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with higher-stage stomach cancer.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT05887661Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laparoscopic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 432 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.
