New vaginal surgery may ease brain pressure during hysterectomy

NCT ID NCT07250178

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compared two types of hysterectomy surgery: vNOTES (done through the vagina) and TLH (done through small belly cuts). Researchers measured optic nerve sheath diameter, an indirect sign of brain pressure, in 66 women. The goal was to see if vNOTES causes less pressure on the brain during surgery.

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 vNOTES shows lower intracranial pressure changes, it could become a preferred surgical approach for hysterectomy, reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study using an indirect pressure marker, not clinical outcomes. Results may not change practice or apply broadly.
