vNOTES versus laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy

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

The trial compares two surgical approaches—vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) salpingectomy and conventional laparoscopic salpingectomy—in women diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy who require operative management. Eligible and consenting participants will undergo one of the two procedures and be followed for outcomes such as operative time, postoperative pain scores, complication rates, hospital stay length, and time to recovery. The study is designed to test the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of vNOTES as an alternative minimally invasive technique to standard laparoscopy. Standardized perioperative care and outcome measures will be used to enable direct comparison between the groups.
