Surgery vs stents for heart disease with weak heart pump
This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07273409Recruiting
Surgery for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests whether surgically removing as much of the tumor as possible (debulking) is better than not doing surgery for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06893614Recruiting
Facial mesh study for jaw surgery patients
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges 18–50 - NCT06819995Recruiting
3D-printed vs milled guides for dental implants
This study compares two types of surgical guides used to place dental implants: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a solid block. If you're missing one to four teeth and have healthy healed gums and bone, this trial may help determine which guide works best.
MadridAges 21 years+ - NCT07268261Recruiting
New surgery for chronic anal fissure
This trial tests a new combined surgical method for people with a chronic anal fissure (a small tear in the skin around the anus) that has not healed and is causing muscle spasms. The goal is to see if this surgery can help the fissure heal and relieve pain and spasm.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT04906408Recruiting
Testing wound-care steps after ventral hernia surgery
This study looks at whether different post-surgery wound-care steps can reduce problems at the incision site after elective ventral hernia repair. If you qualify, you may receive a specific wound treatment plan chosen by the study team to see how it affects healing and infection rates.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04570553Recruiting
Testing a tool during surgery for early endometrial cancer
This study looks at how well a surgical tool is used during standard surgery for early endometrial cancer, and whether it relates to test results from fluid taken in the abdomen. It may help surgeons improve how samples are collected and interpreted during routine care.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04506008RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation followed by surgery for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a treatment plan where you first get a shorter (hypofractionated) course of radiation and then have surgery to remove the tumor. It may help control the cancer locally in certain soft tissue sarcomas and improve surgical outcomes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 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 - NCT06899867Recruiting
Comparing heart monitoring methods during liver transplant
This trial compares two ways to monitor how well your heart is pumping during liver transplant surgery. One method uses a thin tube in your blood vessels, and the other uses an ultrasound probe placed in your food pipe.
France, LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07242196Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after laparoscopic surgery in children
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
Sakarya, SerdivanAges 6 months–16 years - NCT07247175RecruitingPhase 2
Testing force feedback in robotic prostate cancer surgery
This trial is looking at whether a new force-feedback feature in the da Vinci robotic system helps surgeons learn and operate more safely when removing the prostate for prostate cancer.
SoeulAges 19 years+ - NCT07244211Recruiting
Hip Replacement vs. Screws for Hip Fracture Recovery
This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05298722Recruiting
MRI and blood tests to predict if pancreatic surgery is possible
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07233811Recruiting
Same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy
This trial tests if it's safe and beneficial to go home the same day after robotic hysterectomy, compared to staying overnight. It includes women with both benign conditions and endometrial cancer, regardless of weight or uterus size.
StockholmAges 18–75 - NCT07238894Recruiting
Freezing and heating breast cancer without surgery
This study tests a combination of freezing and heating (cryoablation and thermal ablation) to treat breast cancer in patients who cannot have surgery. It may help shrink or control tumors while avoiding general anesthesia.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07234409Recruiting
Robotic partial nephrectomy for small kidney tumors

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,180 recruiting surgical 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 surgical 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 surgical 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.
