Trial comparing two hysterectomy methods for large uteri
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that cuts and removes tissue through a tiny camera during laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help women with very large uteri have a less invasive surgery compared to the standard cold scalpel method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic hysterectomy
- Your uterus is estimated to weigh at least 500 grams (about 1.1 pounds)
- You are sexually active

This trial compares a new way to remove the uterus using minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy). The new technique seals blood vessels at their source before removing the uterus, and researchers want to see if it reduces bleeding and speeds recovery compared to standard laparoscopic removal.
This study compares two methods of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) for benign (non-cancer) conditions. It aims to see if the less invasive laparoscopic approach is as effective as traditional abdominal surgery in settings with limited resources.
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.
This study compares two newer, less invasive surgical methods for removing an enlarged uterus (total hysterectomy). The goal is to see which approach works better for women with a uterus weighing at least 280 grams (about the size of a 3-month pregnancy). Both techniques are performed through small incisions, avoiding open surgery.
This trial is comparing two ways to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries during a vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse: one using energy-based devices (like a cauterizing tool) and the other using a standard cold scalpel method. It will help determine if the energy-based approach offers any benefits, such as less blood loss or faster recovery.
This trial tests a special tool (myoma screw) to help remove a large uterus during laparoscopic surgery. It may help people with adenomyosis or a large uterus have a smoother procedure.
