Anesthesia options for laparoscopic hysterectomy and brain health
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.

This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
This study checks if a head-down position (called Trendelenburg) during laparoscopic hysterectomy affects a brain wave monitor (Patient State Index) that measures how deep your anesthesia is.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
This study tests whether using special brain-wave monitoring and heart-signal information during anesthesia can improve your comfort and recovery after certain laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. If you qualify, your anesthesia plan may be guided by these monitors to help standardize care and track recovery.
