New surgical bag may speed up fibroid removal
NCT ID NCT07512973
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a new single-channel bag used during keyhole surgery to remove uterine fibroids. The bag holds the fibroid while it is cut into smaller pieces, and the goal is to see if it makes the surgery faster and simpler than the current two-channel bag. About 78 women aged 18 to 45 who want to keep their uterus will take part, and they will be followed for up to two years to check for fibroid return.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Single-channel specimen retrieval bag (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could make fibroid removal surgery faster and easier, especially in smaller hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is a minor upgrade, not a breakthrough.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with uterine fibroids who meet the surgical criteria. 2. Aged 18 and above but below 45, those who firmly request to retain the uterus. 3. Patients planning to undergo laparoscopic removal of uterine fibroids. 4. Those who understand the purpose, procedures, possible risks of this trial, voluntarily participate in this study, and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients whose overall condition cannot tolerate laparoscopic surgery. 2. Patients who require surgeries other than laparoscopic fibroid removal surgery (excluding pelvic adhesion release, excision of mesosalpinx cysts less than 2cm, and excision/electrocoagulation of superficial intraperitoneal lesions). 3. Considering the possibility of malignant transformation of uterine fibroids preoperatively. 4. Preoperative diagnosis is unclear and needs to be differentiated from ovarian tumors. 5. History of previous lower abdominal surgery or severe pelvic or abdominal adhesions. 6. Presence of untreated infectious sexual diseases, including but not limited to vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
