Vaginal hysterectomy using a camera and light source
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive way to perform a hysterectomy called vNOTES. It uses a small camera inserted through the vagina to help surgeons remove the uterus, and may offer faster recovery for women with non-cancerous conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of doing a hysterectomy (removing the womb) through the vagina — one using a special scope and the standard approach. It aims to see which is better for women having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
This study compares a newer “vaginal NOTES” approach with the standard way of removing the uterus through the vagina. It may help find which method is safer or easier for people who need a hysterectomy for non-cancer (benign) reasons.
This study looks at using an ultrasound scan to help doctors choose which patients may be good candidates for a type of vaginal surgery called vNOTES. It may help improve safety and outcomes by matching the right patients to the right approach.
This study compares two ways to remove the uterus without a big belly cut: standard vaginal surgery versus a newer keyhole method (vNOTES). Both aim to help women with non-cancerous uterine conditions recover faster and avoid a large incision.
This trial tests a new tool that helps doctors see better during vaginal hysterectomy (removing the uterus through the vagina). It is for women with uterine fibroids who need this surgery, and aims to see if it is safe and works well.
This study tests a less invasive way to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes through the vagina, which may lead to faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery. It is for people having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
