What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses 20 female cadavers to systematically map the anatomy of the pelvis and lower abdomen, focusing on structures important for gynecologic surgery. Researchers will measure distances and relationships between key structures like the ureter, blood vessels, and nerves. The goal is to create a detailed atlas that helps surgeons avoid complications and perform nerve-sparing procedures more effectively.

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 could lead to a detailed anatomical atlas that helps surgeons plan safer, more precise gynecologic operations.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage cadaveric study, not a clinical trial on living patients. Findings may not fully translate to surgical practice.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female cadavers from an institutional body donation program * Age ≥ 18 years at time of death * Adequate preservation of pelvic and abdominal retroperitoneal structures * Anatomical integrity allowing identification of the pelvic ureter, iliac vessels and their main branches, obturator nerve, and other structures included in the anatomical checklist. * Availability of both hemipelves for comparative analysis * Authorization for research use according to institutional body donation regulations Exclusion Criteria: * Male cadavers * Prior major pelvic or abdominal surgery significantly altering retroperitoneal anatomy (e.g., hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy, vascular surgery) * History of pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy * Advanced pelvic or abdominal malignancy with retroperitoneal involvement * Severe trauma affecting pelvic or abdominal anatomy * Poor preservation or significant tissue degradation * Absence of one or both hemipelves * Advanced pregnancy at time of death
