New incision technique aims to cut surgery complications in half
NCT ID NCT07373886
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to make the surgical cut for complex gynecologic surgery. The goal is to see if it causes fewer problems like fluid buildup under the skin compared to older methods. The study will include 50 women aged 18-65 with pelvic masses between 15-30 cm. Results will be compared to published data from standard incisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female patients aged 18-65 years 2. Indication for open gynecologic surgery for benign or borderline pelvic or abdominopelvic masses 3. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18 kg/m² 4. Willing and able to provide informed consent and attend follow-up 5. Mass size between 15-30 cm, which is considered optimal for the STIRRUP (Suprapubic Transverse Incision with Rectus Release for Upper Peritoneal access) technique due to the balance between exposure and minimal morbidity Exclusion Criteria: 1. Malignant tumors requiring upper abdominal visceral resection (liver, spleen, diaphragm) 2. Emergency surgery 3. Previous complex abdominal wall reconstruction with mesh 4. Contraindication to general anesthesia 5. Masses extending to the xiphisternum or measuring \>30 cm 6. Cases requiring supracolic omentectomy 7. Planned lymphadenectomy (especially if comprehensive para-aortic lymph node dissection is required ) 8. Supramesocolic tumor extension or malignant ovarian tumors requiring hepatic resections, splenectomy, and diaphragmatic resection 9. Severe comorbidities precluding elective surgery 10. Pregnancy 11.
