Bagged and fragmented: a Scar-Free way to remove large uteri?
NCT ID NCT07486622
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new surgical technique to remove large uteri through the vagina using a sealed bag and electric fragmentation. The goal is to avoid abdominal scars and prevent the spread of tissue fragments. Twenty-five women aged 38 to 52 with large uteri are participating. The study checks if the bag stays intact and how long the procedure takes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transvaginal in-bag electromechanical morcellation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could offer a safer, scar-free option for removing large uteri, reducing recovery time and infection risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include bag leakage or complications from the procedure.
