Comparing two lymph node removal methods in vaginal surgery for early endometrial cancer
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during a vaginal minimally invasive surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective.
Diyarbakır, BaglarAges 18–85 - NCT06398028RecruitingPhase 4
ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05487612Recruiting
MiECC heart-lung machine vs standard bypass during heart surgery
This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
TorontoAges 18–85 - NCT06114368Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for torn Achilles tendon
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
Náousa, Central MacedoniaAges 18–75 - NCT07431632Recruiting
Nerve freezing vs. epidural for pain after pectus excavatum repair
This study compares two ways to manage pain after pectus excavatum surgery: freezing the nerves during surgery (cryoanalgesia) versus an epidural block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 13 years+ - NCT06428149Recruiting
Comparing gum surgery techniques for deep pockets
This study looks at three different ways to make cuts in the gums during surgery for deep pockets caused by gum disease. It aims to find which technique helps heal better and save more bone.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18–80 - NCT07292870Recruiting
Biological treatments for deep gum bone defects
This trial tests whether biological agents can help heal deep gum bone defects that remain after standard non-surgical cleaning. It may be an option for people who still have deep pockets around their teeth and need a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07000253RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Timing of local treatment for limited metastatic stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving local treatments (like surgery or radiation) to cancer spots later—after starting immunotherapy or targeted therapy—helps people with stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to a few places. It aims to improve outcomes by timing treatments carefully.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05538416Recruiting
Back surgery approach trial for mild slip and leg pain
This trial compares a newer, “cortical bone trajectory” method with more traditional open surgery and a minimally invasive approach for treating certain low-back slips. It looks at short-term outcomes to see which approach helps patients recover better and relieve leg symptoms.
GroningenAges 18–75 - NCT04306458Recruiting
Testing robot-assisted vs standard surgery for resectable esophageal cancer
This trial compares a robot-assisted approach to a standard minimally invasive approach for surgery in people with certain types of esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed. It aims to see which surgery method works better and is safer for these patients.
MainzAges 18–90 - NCT04494295Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery registry for bleeding in the brain
This study records and compares outcomes for people with a specific kind of sudden brain bleeding (intracerebral hemorrhage) using minimally invasive surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve future care decisions.
Burbank, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07649226Enrolling by invitation
Laser gum contouring for a more balanced smile
This study compares two minimally invasive laser techniques to reshape your gums and reduce a gummy smile (excessive gum show). The goal is to see which approach—without cutting or with a small tunnel cut—gives better results with less discomfort and faster healing.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 21 years+ - NCT06369870RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for pain after minimally invasive aortic valve surgery
This trial tests a nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the chest wall) to control pain after aortic valve replacement through a small right-sided chest incision. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06679244Recruiting
New surgery for upper stomach cancer
This trial tests a new surgical technique for patients with cancer in the upper part of the stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if the new approach is safe and effective for removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07181876Recruiting
Study of robotic hernia repair with Dexter system
This study tests a robotic system for fixing groin hernias (inguinal hernias) using small incisions. It is for adults scheduled for hernia repair surgery who want to see how well the robot helps.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT06702501Recruiting
Shunt device to treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests a tiny tube (shunt) placed in the heart to relieve pressure and ease severe shortness of breath. It's for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax enough.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30 years+ - NCT07159165Enrolling by invitation
Registry study of MIUS for enlarged prostate
This study collects information from men treated with a minimally invasive surgery called MIUS for an enlarged prostate that blocks urine flow. It aims to learn how well the procedure works by tracking results over time.
SamsunAges Any age - NCT07723378Recruiting
Steam therapy for enlarged prostate: a study
This study tests a minimally invasive steam treatment for an enlarged prostate. It may help men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms who have not had prior prostate surgery.
MoscowAges 18–85 - NCT04486495Recruiting
Minimally invasive lymph node treatment after chemo for node-positive breast cancer
This study looks at a less invasive way to check and treat lymph nodes in the armpit after you receive chemotherapy (and sometimes immunotherapy) before breast surgery. It may help people with cancer that has already spread to armpit lymph nodes by improving how staging and treatment are done.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05504265RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain control methods during minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This study compares different ways to control pain around the time of minimally invasive esophagus surgery. It may help find a method that controls pain better and improves recovery after surgery.

Pain control plan after minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This trial tests a pain-control method (using an epidural/nerve pain-block through the back, called neuraxial anesthesia) for people having minimally invasive esophagus removal surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve comfort during recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for minimally invasive surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 119 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.
