Uterine manipulator and sexual function after hysterectomy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a uterine manipulator during abdominal hysterectomy affects sexual function after surgery. It may help women having hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.

This trial compares survival rates for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer who have laparoscopic hysterectomy with or without a uterine manipulator (a tool used during surgery).
This trial compares using a surgical “uterine manipulator” device versus not using it during endometrial cancer surgery. It may help clarify which approach is safer and works better during planned hysterectomy.
This study checks whether a keyhole surgery that removes tissue through the vagina (instead of a belly cut) affects your sexual function afterward, for women who keep their uterus. You'll answer a questionnaire about your sexual health before and after surgery.
This study compares two ways of closing the vagina after laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if one approach leads to better sexual function after surgery.
This study looks at how sexual well-being changes over time after a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). It may help doctors better understand what to expect and how to support recovery related to sexual function.
This study looks at how uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus) and their surgical removal affect the pelvic floor—the muscles and tissues that support your bladder, bowel, and uterus. It aims to better understand these effects in patients scheduled for either hysterectomy or myomectomy.
