Ultrasound to better choose vNOTES surgery patients
This study looks at using an ultrasound scan to help doctors choose which patients may be good candidates for a type of vaginal surgery called vNOTES. It may help improve safety and outcomes by matching the right patients to the right approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning surgery for a hysterectomy or for an ovarian/tube (adnexal) problem through the vagina approach called vNOTES.
- Your vaginal exam before surgery is normal.
- You have not had prior radiation treatment to your pelvic area.
- You do not have cancer (malignancy).
- You are not planning a combined vaginal operation for things like prolapse or urinary complaints at the same time.

This trial looks at whether a newer, less invasive video-assisted technique (called vNOTES) can help during elective surgery for non-cancer (benign) reasons involving the fallopian tubes/ovaries. You may be a candidate if your surgery is planned for a benign condition and you don’t have certain complications or prior history.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive way to perform a hysterectomy called vNOTES. It uses a small camera inserted through the vagina to help surgeons remove the uterus, and may offer faster recovery for women with non-cancerous conditions.
This trial compares two ways to remove the uterus through the vagina, using either special instruments (VNOTES) or the traditional approach (vaginal hysterectomy). It is for women who need this surgery for non-cancer reasons.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for removing an ovary, fallopian tube, or cyst (adnexa). If you need this surgery, you might be assigned to one of the two methods to see which leads to faster recovery with less pain.
This trial tests a new tool that helps doctors see better during vaginal hysterectomy (removing the uterus through the vagina). It is for women with uterine fibroids who need this surgery, and aims to see if it is safe and works well.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery techniques (vNOTES vs. laparoscopy) to see how they affect your breathing and heart function during gynecological surgery. It aims to find which method is safer or gentler on your body while under anesthesia.
