Comparing vaginal vs. laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy to see which works better. Both procedures remove the fallopian tube and pregnancy without a large belly incision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb)
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- Medicine cannot treat your ectopic pregnancy, so you need surgery
- You do not have serious health problems that would make surgery risky
- You are not pregnant in two places at once (one in the womb, one outside)
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study

This trial checks if injecting a blue dye into the remaining fallopian tube during surgery can help see if it's working properly, after one tube is removed due to an ectopic pregnancy. It may help guide future fertility decisions.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscopic lateral suspension and V-NOTES lateral suspension using the Salman Ketenci Gencer method) to repair severe pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients who are sexually active.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery techniques (vNOTES vs. laparoscopy) to see how they affect your breathing and heart function during gynecological surgery. It aims to find which method is safer or gentler on your body while under anesthesia.
This trial compares two ways to remove the uterus through the vagina, using either special instruments (VNOTES) or the traditional approach (vaginal hysterectomy). It is for women who need this surgery for non-cancer reasons.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for removing an ovary, fallopian tube, or cyst (adnexa). If you need this surgery, you might be assigned to one of the two methods to see which leads to faster recovery with less pain.
This trial looks at whether a newer, less invasive video-assisted technique (called vNOTES) can help during elective surgery for non-cancer (benign) reasons involving the fallopian tubes/ovaries. You may be a candidate if your surgery is planned for a benign condition and you don’t have certain complications or prior history.
