Nerve-sparing hysterectomy for cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a type of surgery for cervical cancer that aims to remove the cancer while trying to protect the nerves that control bladder and bowel function. It may help reduce side effects like incontinence after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had any prior surgery in your belly or pelvic area.
- You do not have existing bladder control problems (like leaking urine or overactive bladder).
- You do not have existing bowel control problems.

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (using small incisions) to remove a pelvic tumor that has come back after treatment for vaginal or cervical cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely remove the recurrence while avoiding more extensive surgery.
This study tests whether a less invasive type of hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) works well for women with very early-stage cervical cancer. It aims to find a safer, faster recovery option for low-risk tumors.
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 compares a modified, less-invasive tumor removal approach with standard surgery for people with early stage (IB2) cervical cancer. It aims to see if this technique reduces the risk of cancer coming back while helping you heal faster.
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
This trial studies how well a less invasive laparoscopic surgery works for women with early-stage cervical cancer. If you have a small tumor and need a hysterectomy, this may be an option for you.
