Appendix surgery through the belly button in children
This trial is testing a specific type of appendix removal surgery that uses a small incision in the belly button. It aims to see if this approach works well for children and teens.
IstanbulAges 5–18 - 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.

Uterine manipulator in endometrial cancer surgery
This trial compares survival rates for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer who have laparoscopic hysterectomy with or without a uterine manipulator (a tool used during surgery).
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06425016Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. traditional sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT06558994Recruiting

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+ - 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 - NCT06788548Recruiting
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Early Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06841484Recruiting
Robotic tools vs. human-assisted tools in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06913335Recruiting
Comparing heat vs. sealant for bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove benign ovarian cysts: one uses heat (electrosurgery) and the other uses a special sealant. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–50 - NCT06973122Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after abdominal surgery
This study tests two different nerve-block methods to reduce pain inside the belly after surgery. It compares a block near the stomach nerves to a block in the abdominal wall, to see which works better for controlling deep pain.
AlexandriaAges 20–50 - NCT07115303Recruiting
Comparing clips vs. sutures for appendix stump closure
This trial compares two ways to close the stump of the appendix during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) appendix removal: using clips versus tying a knot. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients with simple appendicitis.
SohagAges Any age - NCT07119203Recruiting
Robot vs standard keyhole gallbladder surgery for non-cancerous disease
This trial is comparing two types of keyhole surgery for removing the gallbladder: one done with a robot and the other with standard laparoscopic tools. The goal is to find out which technique leads to a better recovery and fewer complications for people with non-cancerous gallbladder problems like gallstones or polyps.
PortsmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT07142122Recruiting
Comparing two types of stomach surgery for early upper gastric cancer
This trial compares two laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07495020Recruiting
Weight loss surgery study for type 2 diabetes
This study tests a new type of weight loss surgery for people with type 2 diabetes and a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 35. The surgery uses a clip and a special stitch to help with weight loss and diabetes control.
AstanaAges 18–65 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06786702Recruiting
Study on preserving the round ligament in hernia repair for women
This trial looks at whether keeping the round ligament (a ligament in the groin area) during hernia surgery leads to better outcomes for women. If you are a woman between 18 and 70 with a groin hernia and are having a specific type of laparoscopic surgery (TAPP), you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BaşakşehirAges 18–70 - NCT07747779Recruiting
Comparing two weight-loss surgeries for very high body weight
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery to see how they affect hormones after a meal. It may help you choose a surgery that improves your health and weight loss.
Pathum Wan, BangkokAges 18–60 - NCT07062367Recruiting
Anesthesia options for laparoscopic hysterectomy and brain health
This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–65 - NCT06850844Recruiting

Two Nerve Blocks for Pain After Gallbladder Surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.

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.
