Natural-orifice vaginal hysterectomy vs laparoscopic hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove a large, non-cancerous uterus (hysterectomy): a vaginal “through natural opening” endoscopic method versus the usual laparoscopic approach. It aims to see how these options compare for safety and recovery when the uterus is too large for simpler surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of doing a hysterectomy (removing the womb) through the vagina — one using a special scope and the standard approach. It aims to see which is better for women having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
This study compares a newer “vaginal NOTES” approach with the standard way of removing the uterus through the vagina. It may help find which method is safer or easier for people who need a hysterectomy for non-cancer (benign) reasons.
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 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 (hysterectomy) for non-cancerous conditions: one using small cuts and a camera (laparoscopic), and the other using a larger belly cut (abdominal). It aims to see which method works better in settings with limited resources.
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
