Comparing two keyhole surgeries for enlarged uterus
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgery methods to remove an enlarged uterus. It aims to see which approach has better results for women needing a hysterectomy due to an enlarged uterus.

This study compares two types of hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one has better long-term results. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical approaches, and the researchers will follow your health over time to learn which method is safer and more effective.
This trial compares two treatments for painful or heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids). It may help you decide which option fits your needs.
This trial compares two keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries for removing the uterus in women with non-cancerous conditions like fibroids or heavy bleeding. One method blocks the blood supply to the uterus first, which may reduce bleeding during surgery.
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 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 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.
