NCT ID NCT07496814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares laparoscopic (keyhole) hysterectomy to traditional open abdominal hysterectomy in women aged 35-65 with benign gynecologic conditions. The main goal is to see which approach leads to a shorter hospital stay. The trial takes place in a low-resource setting, where equipment and training may be limited.
