Can a Double-Wall bag stop leaks during keyhole fibroid surgery?
NCT ID NCT07767968
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether the LapBox Manual Containment System, a double-wall bag used during laparoscopic surgery, can prevent leaks when removing uterine fibroids. About 30 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy will use the device, and surgeons will check for any leakage or rupture during the procedure. The goal is to see if this system improves surgical safety by keeping tissue contained.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LapBox Manual Containment System
- What this could lead to
- If the LapBox system proves leak-proof, it could become a safer standard for containing tissue during laparoscopic fibroid surgery, reducing risks of spillage.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage device evaluation, not a large clinical trial. Results may not apply to all patients or surgical scenarios, and device failure remains a possibility.
