Does washing the belly during hysterectomy reduce pain?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether rinsing the belly with clean fluid during a hysterectomy (done through the vagina with small cameras) can lower pain after surgery. It may help if you are having your uterus removed for a non-cancer reason.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have your uterus removed (not for an emergency or cancer).
- Your doctor says you can have the surgery through the vagina with tiny tools (called vNOTES).
- You are in good health or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I to III).
- Your uterus is no larger than the size of a 14-week pregnancy or about 1 pound.
- You can understand the study details and agree to rate your pain on a 0-to-10 scale.
- You can read and speak Turkish well enough to fill out pain and recovery forms.

This study tests whether applying ice packs to the abdomen after a minimally invasive hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through the vagina) helps reduce pain and speed recovery. You would be randomly assigned to either receive ice pack treatment or standard care.
This trial tests if spraying lidocaine (a numbing medicine) inside the belly along with lidocaine given through an IV can lower pain after surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether using a temporary drain in a specific way can reduce belly pain after laparoscopic (keyhole) gynecologic surgery for uterine fibroids. It may help by lowering discomfort during the early recovery period after surgery.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study tests if giving oxytocin (a natural hormone) through an IV can help reduce pain after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests two techniques during a vNOTES hysterectomy to see if they reduce pain after surgery. One technique uses lower gas pressure in the belly, and the other rinses the belly with saline.
