NCT ID NCT05910385
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed trial looked at 140 women who had their tubes tied (tubal ligation) to see if the surgical method affects sexual quality of life after 6 months. One group had standard abdominal laparoscopy, the other had a newer vaginal approach called vNOTES. Participants filled out a questionnaire about their sexual function before and after surgery. The goal was to see if vNOTES is at least as good as laparoscopy in preserving sexual satisfaction.
