A simple diet and muscle relaxant may sharpen views in scarless hysterectomy
NCT ID NCT07730970
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a three-day low-residue diet and deeper muscle relaxation, alone or together, can improve the surgical view during vNOTES hysterectomy (a scarless procedure through the vagina). The study involves 160 women having hysterectomy for non-cancer conditions. Researchers will measure the lowest gas pressure needed for a clear view, aiming to see if the combination works better than either approach alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rocuronium (a muscle relaxant) and a low-residue diet
- What this could lead to
- If the combination works, surgeons may get a clearer view during vNOTES hysterectomy without needing higher gas pressure, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 160 participants. The benefits may be modest or not apply to all patients. Deeper muscle relaxation carries risks like prolonged recovery or side effects from the reversal drug.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult women (aged 18 years or older) scheduled for hysterectomy for a benign (non-cancer) indication. * Judged suitable for the vNOTES approach by the operating surgeon. * Able to understand the study and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Suspected or known gynaecological malignancy. * Conditions expected to make the approach or the field assessment non-standard (e.g., anticipated dense pelvic adhesions or severe endometriosis, a contraindication to vNOTES, or an obliterated cul-de-sac). * Any medical reason why deep neuromuscular blockade or sugammadex would be unsafe (defined with the anaesthesia team). * Any medical reason why a low-residue diet would be unsuitable. * Inability to give informed consent.
