Two vaginal approaches to hysterectomy for non-cancerous conditions
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to remove the uterus without a big belly cut: standard vaginal surgery versus a newer keyhole method (vNOTES). Both aim to help women with non-cancerous uterine conditions recover faster and avoid a large incision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need a hysterectomy for a non-cancerous condition like fibroids, heavy bleeding, or abnormal cells.
- Your uterus is not too large (about the size of a 14-week pregnancy or smaller).
- You are healthy enough to have surgery through the vagina.
- You have not had serious pelvic infections or previous rectal surgery.
- You are not pregnant or still a virgin before surgery.

This study compares two ways of doing a hysterectomy (removing the womb) through the vagina — one using a special scope and the standard approach. It aims to see which is better for women having this surgery for non-cancerous reasons.
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 trial is testing a newer, less invasive way to perform a hysterectomy called vNOTES. It uses a small camera inserted through the vagina to help surgeons remove the uterus, and may offer faster recovery for women with non-cancerous conditions.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove a large, non-cancerous uterus (hysterectomy): a vaginal “through natural opening” endoscopic method versus the usual laparoscopic approach. It aims to see how these options compare for safety and recovery when the uterus is too large for simpler surgery.
This study looks at using an ultrasound scan to help doctors choose which patients may be good candidates for a type of vaginal surgery called vNOTES. It may help improve safety and outcomes by matching the right patients to the right approach.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for endometrial cancer: traditional laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly) and vNOTES (surgery through the vagina). Both use a sentinel lymph node biopsy to check if cancer has spread, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
