Blood loss during fibroid surgery study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if blocking blood flow to the uterus and ovaries during minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery helps reduce bleeding. It may be an option if you are having this type of surgery for large or numerous fibroids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Having minimally invasive surgery to remove uterine fibroids
- Having at least one fibroid that is 5 cm or larger or having 5 or more fibroids
- Not being pregnant at the time of surgery
- Being 18 years old or older
- Not having any other major surgery planned at the same time, like for endometriosis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two injected medicines (terlipressin vs carbetocin) given into the uterus during open fibroid (myomectomy) surgery to see which one reduces blood loss and helps maintain hemoglobin. It may help patients by targeting lower bleeding during surgery.
This trial looks at ways to prevent scar tissue (intra-uterine adhesions) from forming after fibroid removal surgery. If you are having myomectomy, you may be helping test an approach that could protect the inside of your uterus.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
This study tests whether a medicine called terlipressin, given before surgery to remove uterine fibroids (myomectomy), can help reduce bleeding during the operation. If you are eligible, you may receive terlipressin or a placebo (a dummy medication) to see if it makes your surgery safer.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
