Reducing blood loss during fibroid removal surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 25 to 48 years old
- You have symptomatic uterine fibroids (causing symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain) that need surgery
- Your fibroids are located in the muscle layer of the uterus (intramural), classified as FIGO types 3 to 6
- The largest fibroid is 20 cm (about 8 inches) or smaller
- You have not had abdominal or pelvic surgery before (except childbirth)
- You do not take blood thinners or have a known bleeding disorder

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
This trial tests different methods to minimize blood loss during laparoscopic surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help women with heavy bleeding or trouble getting pregnant.
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.
This trial compares two methods to reduce bleeding during minimally invasive surgery to remove fibroids (noncancerous growths) from the uterus. You'll receive either a temporary tourniquet (a band that temporarily stops blood flow) or an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) around the fibroid, and doctors will measure which approach works better and is safer.
This trial compares two injected medicines (terlipressin vs carbetocin) given into the uterus during open fibroid (myomectomy) surgery to see which one reduces blood loss and helps maintain hemoglobin. It may help patients by targeting lower bleeding during surgery.
