Comparing two stitches for laparoscopic hysterectomy
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 hysterectomy (removing the uterus) to see which has better long-term results. It may help if you are considering surgery for non-cancer reasons.
This study looks at two ways to remove the uterus and cervix for early-stage cervical cancer: minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopic or robotic) versus open surgery (traditional large incision). It checks whether the less invasive approach works just as well in terms of survival and keeping the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares two ways to remove lymph nodes during hysterectomy for endometrial cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to find which method works better with similar or fewer side effects.
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.
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 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.
