Clamping blood vessels to reduce bleeding during fibroid surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 45 years old.
- You have heavy periods, pelvic pain, or trouble getting pregnant.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic myomectomy (keyhole surgery to remove fibroids).
- You have no more than 4 fibroids, and the largest is 9 centimeters or smaller.
- Your fibroids are not the type that hang outside the uterus or grow into the uterine cavity.
- You do not have cancer in the uterus or ovaries, or a serious medical condition.

This trial compares two methods to reduce bleeding during minimally invasive surgery to remove fibroids (noncancerous growths) from the uterus. You'll receive either a temporary tourniquet (a band that temporarily stops blood flow) or an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) around the fibroid, and doctors will measure which approach works better and is safer.
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 compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
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 study compares two different medications given as shots during laparoscopic fibroid (myomectomy) surgery. The goal is to see which shot better reduces blood loss and helps keep hemoglobin (a blood oxygen-carrying protein) from dropping too much.
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.
