Single-incision belly surgery for gynecologic day procedures
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of surgery that uses a single small cut in the belly button to do gynecologic operations as day surgery (go home the same day). The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 75 years old, with a BMI of 32 or less.
- You are awake and able to understand, and you have an adult to stay with you around the time of surgery.
- You agree to have the surgery as a day procedure (go home the same day).
- You and your family understand the aftercare needed and can handle care at home.
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery, and your doctor confirms you have no serious health issues that would affect the operation.
- You have a low risk of pelvic adhesions (scar tissue), based on the doctor's scoring system, and no signs of significant pelvic adhesion.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for removing ovarian cysts or ovaries: one through a small incision in the belly button and one through the vagina. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and less pain.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for early-stage stomach cancer affecting the upper portion. Researchers want to see if a newer single-port technique (using one small incision) works as well as traditional laparoscopic surgery (using multiple small incisions) and may cause less pain or faster recovery.
This study tests a robotic single-port technique to repair primary belly hernias in the midline. It may help patients with less scarring and possibly a quicker recovery.
This study tests a new type of abdominal incision (cut) that may help surgeons reach large pelvic or abdominal masses while causing less damage to surrounding tissue. It is designed for women having open surgery for non-cancerous (benign) or borderline masses.
This study looks at whether leaving a small drainage tube in the belly after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery affects post-surgery pain. It aims to help doctors reduce pain and improve recovery.
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.
