Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05616481Recruiting
Compare two types of bladder support surgery for stress leaks
This trial compares two laparoscopic (camera-assisted) surgery techniques for stopping stress urinary incontinence—leaks that happen when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. It may help determine which approach works better and with fewer problems for the right patients.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07019818RecruitingPhase 4
Esmolol vs. sufentanil for recovery after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two different medicines given during gallbladder surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One medicine (esmolol) controls heart rate, while the other (sufentanil) is a strong painkiller. The goal is to find out which approach leads to a smoother recovery after your surgery.
Brive-la-Gaillarde, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07009119Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic and bile duct cancers
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove certain cancers in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby areas. It may help patients whose cancer has not spread and can be fully removed with surgery.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT07004959Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for ovarian endometriomas
This trial tests if a less invasive ultrasound-guided ethanol injection works as well as laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian endometriomas (fluid-filled cysts from endometriosis). It may offer a treatment option with fewer side effects.
Marseille, FranceAges 18–45 - NCT07001423Recruiting
Gallbladder removal after bile duct stone treatment in older adults

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laparoscopic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 401 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.
