Nieuwegein, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06492538Recruiting
Eye changes after glaucoma angle surgery
This study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–85 - NCT05218044Recruiting
Cryoablation for small DCIS instead of breast surgery
This trial studies whether cryoablation (freezing abnormal breast tissue) can treat DCIS, a non-invasive early breast cancer, without surgical lumpectomy. It aims to see if a less invasive approach could help people with small, limited-area DCIS while avoiding some effects of surgery.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182045Recruiting
Blood loss during fibroid surgery study
This study tests if blocking blood flow to the uterus and ovaries during minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery helps reduce bleeding. It may be an option if you are having this type of surgery for large or numerous fibroids.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05891509Recruiting
DTI-guided minimally invasive surgery for deep brain bleeding
This trial studies whether a special scan-guided, minimally invasive procedure can safely remove bleeding in the basal ganglia (deep in the brain) soon after it happens. It may help patients recover better by targeting the bleeding while protecting important brain pathways.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–80 - NCT07388953Recruiting
Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–80 - NCT07431892Recruiting
Pain after robotic vs. laparoscopic colon cancer surgery
This study compares pain levels after two types of minimally invasive colon cancer surgery: robotic and laparoscopic. It aims to see if one approach leads to less pain, which may help you recover more comfortably.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06228365Recruiting
Minimally invasive vein surgery with sedation
This trial tests a new way to perform minimally invasive surgery for superficial venous insufficiency (a common vein problem) using sedation and local anesthesia. It aims to see if using a virtual reality headset during the procedure helps patients feel more comfortable.
Saint-JeanAges 18 years+ - NCT04434807Recruiting
Surgery soon after brain bleed vs standard care
This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06416748Recruiting
Minimally invasive hysterectomy for low-risk cervical cancer
This study tests whether a less invasive type of hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) works well for women with very early-stage cervical cancer. It aims to find a safer, faster recovery option for low-risk tumors.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06484660Recruiting
Less invasive surgery for complex anal fistula
This study tests a less invasive surgical method (a mucosal advancement flap) for treating complex anal fistulas. It aims to see if this approach works well for people who have a single fistula tunnel and haven't had this type of operation before.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06867445Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for recurrent cervical or vaginal cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (using small incisions) to remove a pelvic tumor that has come back after treatment for vaginal or cervical cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the recurrence while avoiding more extensive surgery.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07355374Recruiting
Balloon dilation during esophageal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether expanding a balloon inside the esophagus during keyhole surgery can reduce a serious complication called anastomotic leak. If you have esophageal cancer and are scheduled for a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, you may be eligible.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07056010Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for advanced stomach cancer after chemoimmunotherapy
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the main blood vessels (para-aortic area). The surgery is done after a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06465719Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for moderate brain bleeding
This trial tests if a minimally invasive surgery guided by a robotic AI system can help people with moderate bleeding deep inside the brain (basal ganglia). If you qualify, the surgery would happen within 72 hours of your stroke.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06688162Enrolling by invitation
Minimally invasive surgery for small brain bleeds
This trial tests a less invasive surgery to remove small blood clots (20–30 ml) in the basal ganglia, a deep part of the brain. It may help people who are awake but have a reduced level of consciousness after a recent brain bleed.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07544238Recruiting
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ventral Hernia Repair
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06688201Recruiting
Minimally invasive clot removal for large brain bleed
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (soft channel drainage) to remove a large blood clot deep in the brain after a stroke. It is for people who can have the procedure within 48 hours of bleeding and whose consciousness is reduced but not completely gone.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06638645Recruiting
Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for minimally invasive surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 112 recruiting minimally invasive surgery 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 minimally invasive surgery 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 minimally invasive surgery 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.
