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 tests whether letrozole (a hormone-blocking pill) can treat an ectopic pregnancy safely and effectively, allowing you to keep your ability to have children. It is an alternative to methotrexate, and you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments.
This trial compares two minimally-invasive surgical techniques to fix pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see which method works better and has fewer side effects.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for endometrial cancer: traditional laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly) and vNOTES (surgery through the vagina). Both use a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if cancer has spread, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
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 study tests a less invasive way to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes through the vagina, which may lead to faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery. It is for people having this surgery for non-cancerous 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.
