Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04370496Recruiting
Testing minimally invasive endoscopic stapler surgery for early cervix cancer
This trial tests how safe a specific minimally invasive surgery tool (an endoscopic stapler) is for people with early-stage cervical cancer. If you qualify, you would get surgery to remove the cervix area using a minimally invasive approach and the study will track safety outcomes.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05179109Recruiting
Robotic vs laparoscopic surgery for deep endometriosis
This trial compares robotic surgery and standard laparoscopic surgery for people with deep endometriosis seen on MRI. It aims to see which approach helps symptoms better or with fewer problems after surgery.
OuluAges 18–50 - NCT05460793Recruiting
Surgery timing trial for brain bleeding after a stroke
This trial looks at whether starting brain surgery within 8 hours after a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) can improve outcomes. It’s for adults with a certain amount and location of bleeding and without common causes like an aneurysm or malformation.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06205875Recruiting
High vs. low dose pain block after minimally invasive heart valve surgery
This trial compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected into the chest wall to control pain after heart valve surgery. If you qualify, you will receive either a higher or lower dose of the pain block to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06430931Recruiting
OviTex vs synthetic graft in robotic prolapse surgery
This trial compares a biological mesh made from sheep tissue (OviTex) with a standard synthetic mesh for repairing pelvic organ prolapse during robotic surgery. It aims to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
Amersfoort, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06466902Recruiting
Using photos to check lymph node removal in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests if taking photos during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery can help doctors check that all the right lymph nodes were removed. If you're having a laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for stomach cancer, this study might be for you.
Cremona, CRAges 18 years+ - NCT06694168Recruiting
Gum surgery to repair bone loss, with or without your own healing proteins
This trial tests a gum surgery technique that preserves more of your gum tissue, with or without a special protein-rich material made from your own blood (L-PRF), to repair bone loss from gum disease.
Santiago, San BernardoAges 18 years+ - NCT06731998Recruiting
