Vaginal hysterectomy removal of womb for non-cancerous conditions
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a hysterectomy (removal of the womb) for a benign (non-cancerous) condition, such as fibroids or heavy bleeding.
- You have not previously had surgery on your pelvic floor, bladder, or uterus for prolapse or urinary incontinence (for example, mesh or sling procedures).
- You do not have suspected cancer of the reproductive organs, endometriosis, or a tubo-ovarian abscess (a pocket of infection near the ovaries).
- You do not have severe pelvic organ prolapse (dropping of pelvic organs) beyond grade 2, or you have not had surgery to correct it.

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 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 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.
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 study tests whether deep muscle relaxation and a special low-residue diet improve the surgical view during vNOTES hysterectomy for non-cancer conditions. It aims to make the procedure safer and easier for the surgeon.
