This trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgical technique to repair inguinal hernias that have returned after previous surgery. The goal is to evaluate how well this approach works and what outcomes patients experience.
SohagAges Any age - 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 - NCT07595679Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Gallbladder Surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections given during laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery to see which one reduces the need for strong pain medications during the procedure. You would receive one of these two injection methods as part of your anesthesia care.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–80 - NCT07200778Recruiting
Clamping blood vessels to reduce bleeding during fibroid surgery
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
MinyaAges 19–45 - NCT07195331RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing dye doses for clearer bile duct images during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two different doses of a special dye (indocyanine green) to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view of the bile ducts during gallbladder removal. The goal is to help make the surgery safer and reduce the risk of injury.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07029269RecruitingPhase 3
Recovery without drainage tubes after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether it is safe and helpful to skip placing drainage tubes in the abdomen after keyhole surgery to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07643285Recruiting
Faster Recovery After Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery in Kids
This study tests a new recovery plan designed to help children go home faster and feel better sooner after laparoscopic appendix surgery (a minimally invasive operation). The plan focuses on early movement, eating, and pain control without heavy pain medications.
Kayseri, KayseriAges 5–18 - NCT07066761Recruiting
Safety of a pelvic floor mesh implant for prolapse
This study tests a new mesh implant to fix pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop down into the vagina). It looks at how safe and well the implant works in women who need surgery for this condition.
Sankt Johann in Tirol, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT03385018Recruiting
Laparoscopic total stomach surgery trial for stomach cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT03716089Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach GIST by tumor site
This trial studies whether doing laparoscopic surgery for stomach GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) works and is safe when the tumor is in a “favorable” versus “unfavorable” location. You might be eligible if your tumor is confirmed as GIST and doctors expect to remove it completely using keyhole surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - 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.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04365751Recruiting
Microwave ablation versus surgery for liver cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer): microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatectomy (keyhole liver surgery). It may help find which option works better for tumor control and recovery in people with limited, non-spread cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04643106Recruiting
Compare two ways to stop bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This trial compares two methods used during laparoscopic (small-robot/pinch-incision) ovarian cyst surgery to see which stops bleeding better and better protects future fertility. You may be eligible if you’re having surgery for ovarian endometriosis and meet hormone and pregnancy-related requirements.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–45 - NCT04710758Recruiting
Keyhole surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04839614Recruiting
Weight-loss surgery plus uterus surgery for certain uterine lining conditions
This trial tests doing weight-loss surgery at the same time as laparoscopic uterus (womb) surgery for people with certain early uterine lining conditions. It may help lower risk from severe obesity while treating the uterine condition.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04929769Recruiting
Surgery trial for early cervical cancer using radical hysterectomy
This trial studies whether a radical hysterectomy—performed either through laparoscopy or an open abdominal operation—works best for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help improve cancer control and guide how doctors choose the best surgical approach for your stage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 21–70 - NCT04934982Recruiting
Surgery trial for early-stage cervical cancer with lymph vessel invasion
This trial studies whether a specific type of surgery (done through the abdomen or with keyhole surgery) is the right treatment for certain early cervical cancers. It aims to see how well these surgeries work when cancer hasn’t spread to lymph nodes.
ShanghaiAges 21–70 - NCT04939831Recruiting
Surgery study for certain stages of cervical cancer
This trial looks at two surgical approaches to remove the cervix in people with specific early-to-mid stage cervical cancer. It aims to see which approach is safer and/or works better for cancer control based on your cancer stage and scan results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 21–70 - NCT05049317Recruiting
Check urinary and sexual function after rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how a specific rectal surgery (laparoscopic total mesorectum excision) affects urinary and sexual function after the operation. It may help patients by tracking what to expect and which factors relate to better recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT05325424Recruiting
Laparoscopic spleen surgery for people with cirrhosis
This study looks at whether removing the spleen using keyhole surgery can improve “liver reserve function” in people with cirrhosis. It may be considered for patients who have an enlarged spleen and very low platelets, but it also has several safety exclusions.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05325437Recruiting
Laparoscopic spleen surgery to protect liver function in cirrhosis
This trial looks at whether a minimally invasive spleen surgery (with a specific vein-disconnection procedure) can better protect liver function in people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. It may help reduce stress on the liver after treatment, but you must meet several safety criteria.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05338294Recruiting
Tested surgery to help immune function in cirrhosis
This study looks at whether a type of keyhole spleen surgery plus cutting a large vein can improve immune function in people with cirrhosis. It may help reduce immune problems that can happen after complications like bleeding from varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus/stomach).

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.
