Comparing two ways to remove the uterus by keyhole surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries for removing the uterus in women with non-cancerous conditions like fibroids or heavy bleeding. One method blocks the blood supply to the uterus first, which may reduce bleeding during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 35 years old
- You have a non-cancerous condition like fibroids, thickened womb lining, or heavy bleeding that hasn't improved with medicine
- Your uterus is smaller than a 20-week pregnancy
- You are generally healthy (classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 by your doctor)

This study compares two ways to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) for non-cancerous conditions: one using small cuts and a camera (laparoscopic), and the other using a larger belly cut (abdominal). It aims to see which method works better in settings with limited resources.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgery methods to remove an enlarged uterus. It aims to see which approach has better results for women needing a hysterectomy due to an enlarged uterus.
This study compares two types of hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one has better long-term results. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical approaches, and the researchers will follow your health over time to learn which method is safer and more effective.
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 compares two approaches to protecting the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Some patients will have the ureter freed from nearby tissue (routine ureterolysis), while others will have it only if the surgeon thinks it's needed. The goal is to find out which method is safer and works better.
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
