Single incision vs. multiple: which hysterectomy technique gets you home faster?

NCT ID NCT06817460

First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two surgical approaches for laparoscopic hysterectomy in women with benign or premalignant uterine conditions. One method uses a single incision through the belly button, while the other uses three to four small abdominal cuts. The goal is to see which technique leads to faster recovery, measured by how quickly patients can eat, pass gas, urinate, walk, and control pain within 24 hours after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
surgical procedure comparing transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) and multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) for total hysterectomy
What this could lead to
If one approach proves superior, it could become the preferred surgical method for hysterectomy, leading to faster recovery and less pain for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The outcome depends on surgeon skill, and individual patient factors may affect recovery regardless of technique.
