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 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.
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 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 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 study tests a new device that cuts and removes tissue through a tiny camera during laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help women with very large uteri have a less invasive surgery compared to the standard cold scalpel method.
This study compares two methods of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) for benign (non-cancer) conditions. It aims to see if the less invasive laparoscopic approach is as effective as traditional abdominal surgery in settings with limited resources.
