What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled This study
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial asks whether routine bowel preparation—using an enema—is necessary before minimally invasive robotic gynecologic surgery. Half of the participants will be assigned to perform the enema, while the other half will skip it. Researchers will compare surgeon-rated ease of surgery and visualization, as well as patient comfort, pain, and satisfaction. The goal is to see if skipping this step can improve the patient experience without affecting surgical quality.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bowel preparation (enema) versus no bowel preparation before minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
What this could lead to
If skipping bowel prep proves safe and effective, it could simplify surgical routines and improve patient comfort without compromising outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. There is also a risk that skipping bowel prep could make surgery more difficult or increase complications.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Expected to start

Feb 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
