Low-impact laparoscopy for weight loss surgery
This trial compares a newer, less invasive laparoscopic technique to the standard method for sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. It aims to see if the low-impact approach reduces pain and speeds recovery.
Rome, ItalyAges 18–65 - NCT07605533Recruiting

SohagAges Any age - NCT06313801RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without PIPAC for stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special type of chemotherapy sprayed directly into the abdomen (PIPAC) to standard chemotherapy is safer and works better for stomach cancer that has spread only to the lining of the abdomen.
Nizhny NovgorodAges 18–75 - NCT05484635Recruiting
Test removing mesh versus leaving it for groin pain
This study compares removing the pre-surgery mesh versus not removing it in people who have long-lasting groin pain after inguinal hernia repair. It may help doctors learn which approach best reduces ongoing pain.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04638088Recruiting
Robot or standard surgery for prostate removal
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT04595929Recruiting
Tested aerosol chemotherapy inside the abdomen for stomach cancer
This trial looks at a way to give chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small tube during laparoscopy) for certain stomach cancers. It aims to see whether this approach improves cancer control and surgical outcomes for people whose tumors can potentially be removed.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT07781930Recruiting
Comparing two pain blocks after kidney laparoscopy
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections given during kidney surgery to see which one works better. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve recovery.
CairoAges 18–40 - NCT07715968Recruiting
Carbon dioxide gas device for children having keyhole surgery
This trial tests a new device that delivers carbon dioxide gas during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery in children. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well for keeping the belly inflated during the procedure.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges Up to 18 years - NCT07708012Recruiting
Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery for early stomach cancer
This study tests a less invasive surgery for early stomach cancer that combines a camera in the belly with a scope down the throat. It aims to remove the cancer while saving as much of the stomach as possible, which may mean a quicker recovery and better quality of life.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07586462Recruiting
Deep Nerve Block for Abdominal Surgery Pain Relief
This trial tests a nerve block—a targeted numbing injection near abdominal muscles—to help reduce pain after abdominal surgery. Researchers want to see if this technique works well alongside standard anesthesia to help you recover more comfortably.
CrotoneAges 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 - NCT07480005Recruiting
Staging laparoscopy for liver, pancreas, and bile duct cancers
This trial is checking how well a minimally invasive surgery (staging laparoscopy) detects the spread of liver, pancreas, or bile duct cancers before a bigger surgery. It may help doctors decide if a full operation is the right next step.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT06815731Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for prolapse repair: a multicenter study
This study tests how well laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery fixes moderate to severe prolapse in the front or middle of the vagina. It is for women who have not had prior prolapse surgery through the belly or with vaginal mesh.
MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07400146RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine for pain relief in laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests if numbing medicine (bupivacaine with epinephrine) placed over the diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery can reduce shoulder and other pain. It may help patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy recover more comfortably.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06831747Recruiting
Mini-incision vs standard laparoscopy for preventive ovary removal in BRCA
This trial compares two ways to do preventive ovary-removal surgery: one using a single tiny incision and the other using a standard laparoscopic approach. The goal is to see which method works better for women with a BRCA gene mutation.
Udine, UdineAges 18 years+ - NCT07278986RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging dye during endometrial cancer surgery
This trial tests a dye (CYTALUX) that helps surgeons see endometrial cancer during surgery. You may be eligible if you have endometrial cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05169073Recruiting
Virtual reality practice for gallbladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether virtual reality training can help surgeons perform laparoscopic gallbladder removal more effectively. It is meant for people scheduled for planned (non-emergency) gallbladder surgery due to gallstones or long-term gallbladder inflammation.
BaselAges 22–45 - NCT07139951Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Heated Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer at High Risk of Recurrence
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy that is heated and delivered directly into the belly during surgery (called HIPEC). It uses two drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, and is for people with stomach cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning in the lining of the belly.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07123805Recruiting
Acupuncture for knee replacement recovery
This study tests if adding acupuncture before and after knee replacement surgery helps reduce pain and improve recovery. It may be an option for people having planned knee replacement for osteoarthritis.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07018661RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a PET/CT scan for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using a drug called [18F]F-FAPI) and a laparoscopy (a small camera through the belly) can better show the spread of advanced stomach or esophagus cancer before surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide the best treatment plan.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06504277Recruiting
Lower gas pressure during surgery for shoulder pain reduction
This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laparoscopy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 30 recruiting laparoscopy 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 laparoscopy 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 laparoscopy 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.
