New surgical tools for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is testing new type of surgical instruments that are used during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to see if they are easier to use and have better outcomes. If you are already scheduled for a hysterectomy or sacrocolpopexy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled to have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) done through small incisions or with a robot.
- You must be scheduled to have a sacrocolpopexy (a surgery to fix pelvic organ prolapse) done through small incisions or with a robot.
- You must be considered a good candidate for one of these surgeries by your doctor.

This study checks whether an outpatient (same-day) approach to a specific prolapse repair surgery is safe and practical, using a double-mesh method with or without robotic help. You may be offered the surgery under guidance of the study team if you meet the health and medical safety criteria.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when organs like the bladder or uterus push into the vagina). One method uses a synthetic mesh, and the other uses a natural stitch to hold the organs in place. Both surgeries involve removing the uterus (if you still have one), and the goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer complications.
This study tests a new robotic system to perform a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and possibly remove the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or lymph nodes, if needed. It aims to see if this robotic approach is safe and effective for patients who are already candidates for laparoscopic surgery.
This trial studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
This trial studies robotic surgery technology for women who need a gynecologic procedure and are good candidates for the Intuitive Surgical system. It may help doctors improve how these surgeries are done, and it requires you to follow the study steps and consent to participate.
This trial is testing a newer, single-port robotic system (da Vinci SP) for staging surgery in endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and possibly lymph nodes, with less scarring.
