One surgery, two goals: can removing fibroids and retrieving eggs together boost IVF success?
NCT ID NCT07267754
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether it is safe and effective to remove uterine fibroids and retrieve eggs in a single surgical step for infertile women aged 18–45. The researchers will track pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth rates after frozen embryo transfer. Only 20 women will take part, and the study has not yet started recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combined procedure could simplify treatment for infertile women with fibroids, potentially improving pregnancy rates while reducing the need for separate surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (20 women) that has not yet started. It only observes outcomes, so it cannot prove the procedure is better or safer than standard separate surgeries. Risks include surgical complications like bleeding or organ injury.
