Comparing two hysterectomy approaches for long-term results
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests robotic-assisted surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) and all endometriosis lesions in people with both adenomyosis and deep endometriosis. It's for those who haven't found relief from medical treatments and are ready for surgery.
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 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 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 looks at the long-term results of two types of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) done with laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). It compares removing only the uterus versus removing the uterus and the cervix, and it may help you understand what to expect after your surgery.
