Ureterolysis during laparoscopic hysterectomy
This study looks at whether routinely freeing the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) during laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the risk of injury. It may help women having this type of surgery for non-cancerous conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You are scheduled to have a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small incisions) for a non-cancerous condition.
- You are able to give written consent and are healthy enough for laparoscopic surgery.
- You do not have known urinary tract abnormalities, previous ureter surgery, or a current ureter stent.
- You are not having emergency surgery or a different type of hysterectomy (like vaginal or abdominal).

This trial compares two ways to protect the ureters (tubes that carry urine) during laparoscopic hysterectomy. It tests whether doing a routine dissection of the ureters is better than only doing it when needed, aiming to reduce complications without extra risks.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
This trial tests whether a temporary drainage tube placed above the pubic bone during bladder stone removal surgery improves outcomes. You would be considered if you have a large bladder stone (over 2 cm) and are scheduled for minimally invasive surgery to break it up and remove it.
This trial compares a new way to remove the uterus using minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy). The new technique seals blood vessels at their source before removing the uterus, and researchers want to see if it reduces bleeding and speeds recovery compared to standard laparoscopic removal.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
