Belly-scope vs. vaginal closure after uterus removal
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult woman having a hysterectomy for a non-cancerous (benign) condition like fibroids or endometriosis.
- You are not obese – your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 29.9.
- You are sexually active.
- You do not have pelvic cancer, cervical changes (CIN), or a current vaginal infection.
- You are not being treated for cancer, do not have a bleeding disorder, and do not have conditions that slow wound healing (like diabetes, anemia, or steroid use).

This trial compares two ways to protect the ureters (tubes that carry urine) during laparoscopic hysterectomy. It tests whether doing a routine dissection of the ureters is better than only doing it when needed, aiming to reduce complications without extra risks.
This trial compares two ways of closing the vagina after a hysterectomy for severe uterine prolapse to see which method keeps more vaginal length. It may help women who want to preserve vaginal depth after surgery.
This study looks at what happens over time after a woman has a laparoscopic (keyhole) subtotal or total hysterectomy for non-cancer (benign) causes. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes and recovery after this surgery.
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 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 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.
