Comparing two suture types for vaginal vault closure after hysterectomy
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a self-locking suture works better than a traditional one when closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find a safer and more effective method for this part of the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- Your surgery is not being done through a large abdominal cut (open surgery) or through the vagina alone.

This trial compares a newer stitch type (“BARBED”) versus a standard stitch during surgery to repair vaginal support after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you need elective laparoscopic hysterectomy for a non-cancer reason, the results may help improve how well the repair holds and how easy the surgery is.
This trial compares two ways of closing the vagina after a hysterectomy for severe uterine prolapse to see which method keeps more vaginal length. It may help women who want to preserve vaginal depth after surgery.
This trial compares two types of stitches (SYMMCORA vs. V-Loc) used during laparoscopic hysterectomy to see which one works best. It is for women having planned keyhole removal of the uterus.
This trial is studying whether one type of stitch (polyglactin) works better than another (polypropylene) for closing the belly wall after abdominal surgery. It may help reduce the risk of hernias or other complications.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to repair severe dropping of the uterus or vaginal vault (the top of the vagina). Both procedures use small cameras and instruments, and the trial aims to understand which approach works better and how quickly surgeons learn each technique.
This trial tests a surgery to fix vaginal cuff prolapse (when the top of the vagina drops down) in women who have had a hysterectomy. It may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
