Laparoscopic vs vaginal cerclage to prevent early birth
This trial compares two types of surgery (one done through small cuts in the belly, one done through the vagina) to place a stitch around the cervix and prevent preterm birth. It may be a good option if you and your doctor are unsure which approach is best for you.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06715878Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for small kidney tumors without cutting blood supply
This study tests a new, gentle way to remove small kidney tumors using a robot. The goal is to avoid cutting off blood supply to the kidney and to leave healthy tissue behind. It may help you keep more kidney function while still treating the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 15–80 - NCT06730243Recruiting
New robotic vs. standard surgery for early prostate cancer
This trial compares a new robotic surgical technique (with a special urethra repair) to standard robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach best preserves urinary control.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07546825Recruiting
Minimally invasive versus open surgery for endometrial cancer staging
This trial compares two surgical approaches for treating endometrial cancer: traditional open surgery (laparotomy) versus minimally invasive keyhole surgery (laparoscopy). The goal is to determine which method is safer and more effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and lymph nodes while staging the cancer.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT07550582Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Surgery for small tumors at the food pipe opening
This trial tests a new surgical approach combining laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery with endoscopy (a camera procedure) to remove small tumors located where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to safely remove these tumors while preserving normal function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07525986RecruitingPhase 4
Pain control after laparoscopic colon surgery using a button-press system
This trial tests a new pain medication (anrikefon) that patients can control themselves by pressing a button after laparoscopic colon surgery. The goal is to see if it works better or safer than standard pain relief, especially for patients whose nerve blocks alone don't fully control pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07525687Recruiting
Tourniquet versus epinephrine injection for fibroid removal surgery
This trial compares two methods to reduce bleeding during minimally invasive surgery to remove fibroids (noncancerous growths) from the uterus. You'll receive either a temporary tourniquet (a band that temporarily stops blood flow) or an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) around the fibroid, and doctors will measure which approach works better and is safer.
MinyaAges 18–45 - NCT06202105Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open total gastrectomy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
Bien Hoa, Dong NaiAges 18–80 - NCT07473583Recruiting
