Can less pressure mean better fibroid surgery?
NCT ID NCT04550429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a lower fluid pressure (60 mmHg) during hysteroscopy, a procedure to remove fibroids, works as well as the standard pressure (80 mmHg). The goal was to see if it improves surgery time, fluid use, and surgeon's view. The study was stopped early and included 35 adults with fibroids or polyps.
