New incision method for large pelvic masses during open gynecologic surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of abdominal incision (cut) that may help surgeons reach large pelvic or abdominal masses while causing less damage to surrounding tissue. It is designed for women having open surgery for non-cancerous (benign) or borderline masses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 65
- You are scheduled for open gynecologic surgery for a non-cancerous or borderline mass in your pelvis or abdomen
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 18 or higher
- The mass is between 15 and 30 centimeters (about 6 to 12 inches) in size
- You are willing to give informed consent and come to follow-up visits

This study tests a new type of surgery that uses a single small cut in the belly button to do gynecologic operations as day surgery (go home the same day). The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for patients.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—traditional laparoscopic (keyhole) versus robotic-assisted—for removing complex ovarian cysts or masses up to 8cm that haven't spread. The goal is to see which approach might offer better recovery and outcomes for women with these growths.
This study checks whether an outpatient (same-day) approach to a specific prolapse repair surgery is safe and practical, using a double-mesh method with or without robotic help. You may be offered the surgery under guidance of the study team if you meet the health and medical safety criteria.
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
This study tests a newer, less invasive way to remove the uterus and cervix in early-stage cervical cancer (tumor size 2–4 cm). The goal is to see if using a special stapling device makes the surgery safer with fewer side effects, while still effectively treating the cancer.
This study looks at how safe laparoscopic surgery is for stomach GISTs that are 5 cm or larger. If you’re eligible and choose to participate, your team will plan and perform surgery and track safety outcomes.
