Comparing blood loss in different techniques for laparoscopic hysterectomy
Comparative Study of Blood Loss in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy by Ligation the Uterine Arteries in Different Techniques.
NA · Tanta University · NCT06875518
This study tests different ways to tie off blood vessels during laparoscopic hysterectomy to see which technique causes less blood loss in women aged 35-60 with heavy bleeding and uterine issues.

What this trial studies
This study compares blood loss during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using different techniques for ligating the uterine arteries. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these techniques in women suffering from menometrorrhagia and uterine pathologies such as adenomyosis or fibroids. The study focuses on patients aged 35-60 years who have not responded to medical treatment. By utilizing minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches, the study seeks to reduce postoperative complications associated with traditional surgical methods.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 35-60 with menometrorrhagia unresponsive to medical treatment and specific uterine pathologies.
Not a fit: Patients with endometrial carcinoma, excessive adhesions, or those unable to undergo general anesthesia will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced blood loss for women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with laparoscopic techniques, indicating a promising approach for this intervention.
