Could spinal anesthesia make hysterectomy recovery easier?
NCT ID NCT07758504
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of anesthesia for a minimally invasive hysterectomy called V-Notes, which removes the uterus through the vagina. Researchers want to see if spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) offers advantages over general anesthesia (being fully asleep) in terms of pain, recovery time, and hospital stay. The trial involves 28 women with abnormal uterine bleeding who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to find which anesthesia approach provides a smoother, less painful recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- V-Notes hysterectomy under spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia
- What this could lead to
- If spinal anesthesia proves better, it could lead to faster recovery and less postoperative pain for women undergoing this minimally invasive hysterectomy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Spinal anesthesia may not suit everyone and carries its own risks.
