Spinal morphine for pain relief after major abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.

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.
CairoAges 21–71 - NCT06532422Recruiting
Recovery after kidney cancer surgery done as day surgery
This study looks at how people recover after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for kidney cancer when they go home the same day. It will help doctors understand if this approach is safe and improves recovery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05713903Recruiting
Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
LarissaAges 18–90 - NCT06515691Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after weight loss surgery
This study tests a nerve block (an injection near the nerves) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The block is called a modified thoracoabdominal nerve plane block, and it may lead to better pain control and recovery.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–65 - NCT06407024Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs robotic surgery for adrenal gland removal
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic vs robotic) to remove an adrenal gland. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06391359Recruiting
Gallbladder surgery to prevent repeat pancreatitis
This trial tests if removing the gallbladder can prevent future episodes of unexplained acute pancreatitis. It may help people who've had one to three episodes with no clear cause found.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06324838Recruiting
Surgery study for Crohn's disease in the ileocecal area
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the affected part of the intestine in people with Crohn's disease. It aims to see if removing more tissue around the blood vessels leads to better outcomes.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06057597Recruiting
Comparing two types of gastric bypass surgery for weight loss
This trial compares a new version of gastric bypass (with a longer 150cm bypassed segment) to the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to see which leads to better weight loss and health improvements. It is for people with severe obesity who are already scheduled for surgery and want to help find the best procedure.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT05975775Recruiting
Laparoscopic prostate surgery for localized cancer, as an outpatient
This trial looks at a planned, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) prostate removal for men with localized prostate cancer done as an outpatient. It aims to understand how this approach fits into care after discussion by a group of specialists.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05923255Recruiting
Trial for surgery planning in right-side colon cancer
This trial studies how to treat cancers located near the right bend of the colon (hepatic flexure) or the first part of the transverse colon. It may help patients by testing a specific approach to surgery before and around the time of resection.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - 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.

Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair guided by FLIP testing
This trial studies a way to guide laparoscopic surgery for a paraesophageal (hiatal) hernia using special measurements during the operation (FLIP) and an endoscopy check. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate surgical wrap to better control reflux after surgery.

Laparoscopic vs open pancreatic surgery for periampullary cancer
This trial compares two ways of doing a major pancreas-and-duodenum operation: laparoscopic (small incisions) versus open surgery (larger incision). It aims to see which approach works better for nonpancreatic periampullary adenocarcinoma when the goal is cure.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05753046Enrolling by invitationPhase 4

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.
