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 study tests a less invasive way to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes through the vagina, which may lead to faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery. It is for people having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
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 study compares two ways to remove the uterus without a big belly cut: standard vaginal surgery versus a newer keyhole method (vNOTES). Both aim to help women with non-cancerous uterine conditions recover faster and avoid a large incision.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for endometrial cancer: traditional laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly) and vNOTES (surgery through the vagina). Both use a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if cancer has spread, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
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 tests whether deep muscle relaxation and a special low-residue diet improve the surgical view during vNOTES hysterectomy for non-cancer conditions. It aims to make the procedure safer and easier for the surgeon.
