Comparing two stitch types for vaginal repair after hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of stitches used to repair the vaginal wall after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small cuts). It aims to see if one type of stitch works better for healing.

This trial tests a surgery to fix vaginal cuff prolapse (when the top of the vagina drops down) in women who have had a hysterectomy. It may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial tests if a self-locking suture works better than a traditional one when closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find a safer and more effective method for this part of the surgery.
This trial looks at two methods of placing a stitch in the cervix to help prevent early birth in women who have had preterm deliveries or late miscarriages before. It compares a stitch placed through the vagina versus one placed through the belly using a laparoscope (a small camera tool).
This trial compares two types of stitches (SYMMCORA vs. V-Loc) used during laparoscopic hysterectomy to see which one works best. It is for women having planned keyhole removal of the uterus.
This study compares two ways of closing the vagina after laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if one approach leads to better sexual function after surgery.
This study compares two types of stitch material used to close the belly wall after abdominal surgery. The goal is to see which stitch is safer and more effective for healing, and you'll be followed for 6 months after your operation.
