Predictors of Success and Failure of v-NOTES Hysterectomy for Large Uteri

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a retrospective, single-center observational study at Strasbourg University Hospitals. It will review about 50 adult women who had a v-NOTES hysterectomy for a large uterus between 2024 and 2025 to identify factors linked to successful completion versus conversion. Data will be pulled from medical records to analyze variables such as BMI, parity, uterine weight, fibroid location, adenomyosis, vaginal access, prior surgeries, and preoperative treatments. The primary outcome is whether the v-NOTES procedure was completed without converting to another method. Secondary outcomes are not explicitly described.
