Using a new morcellation tool for keyhole fibroid removal
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special tool for removing uterine fibroids during a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. The tool helps break the fibroids into smaller pieces so they can be removed with smaller cuts, and the study aims to see how well it works for women who want to keep their uterus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and under 45 years old.
- You have uterine fibroids and are eligible for surgery.

This study aims to develop and test a tool that predicts whether uterine fibroids affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. By joining, you help doctors better understand how fibroids impact fertility and improve future care for women like you.
This study tests a new device that helps remove uterine fibroids during laparoscopic surgery, which uses small cuts. It aims to make fibroid removal safer and easier while preserving the uterus.
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 new way of taking a small tissue sample from a uterine fibroid using ultrasound guidance, right before your planned surgery. The sample helps doctors understand the fibroid better, and the procedure is less invasive than older methods.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
