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.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18.
- You are having a hysterectomy for a non-cancerous reason (like fibroids or heavy bleeding).
- You are not having surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
- You do not have active pelvic infection, prior rectal surgery, or suspected cancer.
- No other major surgeries are planned during the same procedure.

This trial compares two ways to remove the uterus through the vagina, using either special instruments (VNOTES) or the traditional approach (vaginal hysterectomy). It is for women who need this surgery for non-cancer 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 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 trial looks at whether a newer, less invasive video-assisted technique (called vNOTES) can help during elective surgery for non-cancer (benign) reasons involving the fallopian tubes/ovaries. You may be a candidate if your surgery is planned for a benign condition and you don’t have certain complications or prior history.
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.
