Tests two stitch types during laparoscopic hysterectomy repair
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares a newer stitch type (“BARBED”) versus a standard stitch during surgery to repair vaginal support after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you need elective laparoscopic hysterectomy for a non-cancer reason, the results may help improve how well the repair holds and how easy the surgery is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 trial compares two types of stitches used to close the belly after emergency surgery. It aims to see if one type leads to fewer problems like wound infections or hernias.
This trial is studying whether one type of stitch (polyglactin) works better than another (polypropylene) for closing the belly wall after abdominal surgery. It may help reduce the risk of hernias or other complications.
This trial tests if a special type of stitch (barbed suture) used to repair the uterus during cesarean section can reduce the chance of developing a small pocket or gap in the uterine scar, called isthmocele. If you are having a planned or emergency c-section at Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, you may be able to join.
