SingaporeAges 21–65 - 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 - 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 - NCT04295473Recruiting
Test of smaller-incision stomach surgery for gastric cancer
This trial studies a stomach cancer surgery done with fewer/smaller incisions (laparoscopic with reduced ports). It may help people with certain early-to-mid stage stomach cancers by comparing whether this approach is safe and effective for them.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–90 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07814027Recruiting
Trial comparing two surgeries for achalasia
This trial compares two surgeries to treat achalasia, a condition where the esophagus fails to push food into the stomach. Both procedures aim to relax the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus, and the study will see which one works better for improving your symptoms.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07686783Recruiting
Ovary function after cyst removal surgery
This study looks at how ovary function changes after surgery to remove a cyst from the ovary. It compares women with endometriosis-related cysts to those with other types, to better understand recovery.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18–45 - NCT05884658Recruiting
Natural-orifice vaginal hysterectomy vs laparoscopic hysterectomy
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove a large, non-cancerous uterus (hysterectomy): a vaginal “through natural opening” endoscopic method versus the usual laparoscopic approach. It aims to see how these options compare for safety and recovery when the uterus is too large for simpler surgery.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07427043RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-free pain plan for robotic prostate surgery
This trial tests a pain management strategy that avoids opioids during and after robotic prostate surgery. It aims to reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable.
