New surgical trick may cut blood loss in fibroid surgery
NCT ID NCT07200778
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods to reduce blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy, a surgery to remove uterine fibroids. One method temporarily blocks blood flow by clipping the umbilical-uterine trunk; the other injects epinephrine into the uterus. The trial will enroll 66 women aged 19–45 with up to 4 fibroids. Researchers will measure blood loss and hemoglobin drop to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- umbilico-uterine trunk occlusion and local epinephrine infiltration
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer, less invasive way to control bleeding during fibroid removal surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures carry surgical risks like infection or unintended tissue damage.
