HYSTERECTOMY

Stanford University is testing the da Vinci Xi robot for various surgeries in children aged 6-21. The study will enroll 250 participants to check if the robot is safe and works well. The goal is to see if robotic surgery can be a good option for kids needing procedures like gallb…

This study tests whether a special nerve block called M-TAPA can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Sixty women having the surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care. Researchers will measure …

This study tests if reading a personal narrative book, in addition to standard care, can help women of childbearing age manage anxiety, depression, and negative thinking before a hysterectomy. About 156 women will either receive standard information or also read a book. The goal …

This study tests whether a continuous pump delivering numbing medicine into the belly can reduce pain and the need for narcotics after minimally invasive hysterectomy. About 120 women having surgery for non-cancer reasons will be randomly assigned to receive either a numbing drug…

This study tests whether giving n-acetylcysteine (NAC) during hysterectomy surgery can lower the amount of opioids needed for pain afterward. About 240 women having laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy will receive either NAC or a placebo. Researchers will track pain scores and o…

This study looks at how a simple monitor called the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) changes during laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Researchers will track PVI at six key moments when the patient's body position changes, such as tilting the head down or raising the legs. …

This study looks at whether a person's genetic makeup influences how well the painkiller nalbuphine works after abdominal or pelvic surgery. Researchers will collect blood samples from 263 adults before and after surgery to analyze genes linked to pain relief. The goal is to impr…

This study tests whether giving a simple educational handout before surgery helps transmasculine people feel more confident about deciding to keep or remove their ovaries during a gender-affirming hysterectomy. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the hando…

This study compares two approaches after robotic hysterectomy: going home the same day versus staying overnight in the hospital. Researchers will track quality of life and complications over 30 days in 300 patients with benign conditions or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see …
