Containment bag for laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing a special bag called the LapBox that helps contain tissue during laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids. It may make the procedure safer and easier for the surgeon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have uterine fibroids (benign growths in the uterus)
- Your doctor plans to remove the fibroids with a hysterectomy (removing the uterus) or a myomectomy (removing just the fibroids)
- Your surgery is done laparoscopically (through small incisions using a camera)

This study tests if blocking blood flow to the uterus and ovaries during minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery helps reduce bleeding. It may be an option if you are having this type of surgery for large or numerous fibroids.
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.
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 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 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 placing a small drain in the belly during laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you recover more comfortably.
