New surgical bag aims to keep fibroids contained during keyhole surgery
NCT ID NCT07474688
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a fully enclosed protective bag used during laparoscopic myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids. The bag is meant to keep fibroid tissue completely isolated, preventing any leakage or spread during the procedure. Twenty women aged 28-46 with fibroids 6-10 cm will be evaluated for bag integrity, operative time, blood loss, and recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- fully enclosed protective bag device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could reduce the risk of fibroid tissue spreading during surgery, making laparoscopic myomectomy safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 20 participants. The device may not prevent all leakage, and results may not apply to larger or more complex fibroids.
