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 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.
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 compares two types of anesthesia for a hysterectomy done through the vagina. It helps see which method is safer and more comfortable for patients.
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 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 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.
