Spinal versus general anesthesia for vNOTES sterilization
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia—spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia—during a minimally invasive sterilization procedure called vNOTES. The goal is to see which option is safer and works better for people having planned (non-emergency) tubal or related surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 21 or older
- Be a cis-female or gender non-conforming person with female reproductive organs
- Be scheduled for a planned outpatient permanent sterilization (vNOTES)
- Not be pregnant; if you recently gave birth, be at least 6 weeks postpartum
- Have an anesthesia health rating of ASA I or II (not more medically risky than this)
- The surgeon must decide you are a good candidate for vNOTES based on your history

This study compares two ways to provide anesthesia during a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus): a spinal block (numbing the lower half of the body) versus general anesthesia (being completely asleep). It aims to see which approach is better or more comfortable for women having this surgery.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (vNOTES and laparoscopy) to see how they affect breathing and heart function during anesthesia. It may help doctors choose the safest surgical method for patients.
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 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.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for removing ovarian cysts or ovaries: one through a small incision in the belly button and one through the vagina. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and less pain.
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.
