Long-term outcomes after keyhole hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the long-term results of two types of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) done with laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). It compares removing only the uterus versus removing the uterus and the cervix, and it may help you understand what to expect after your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus).
- The surgery was done laparoscopically (through small incisions).
- The hysterectomy was for a benign (non-cancerous) condition, such as fibroids or heavy bleeding.
- You do not have any cancer, either gynecological (related to the reproductive organs) or elsewhere.

This study compares a newer “vaginal NOTES” approach with the standard way of removing the uterus through the vagina. It may help find which method is safer or easier for people who need a hysterectomy for non-cancer (benign) reasons.
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole hysterectomy (removing the womb through small cuts) to see if releasing the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder helps prevent injury. It may help women having this surgery for non-cancerous conditions.
This study looks at two ways to remove the uterus and cervix for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopic or robotic) versus open surgery (traditional large incision). It checks whether the less invasive approach works just as well in terms of survival and keeping the cancer from coming back.
This study compares two ways of doing a hysterectomy (removing the womb) through the vagina — one using a special scope and the standard approach. It aims to see which is better for women having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
This study compares two types of hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one has better long-term results. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical approaches, and the researchers will follow your health over time to learn which method is safer and more effective.
