Official title Assessment of Women's Sexual Quality of Life After Benign Adnexal Surgery Using vNOTES Approach
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05761275
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a recent innovation in minimally invasive surgery which has already proven its non-inferiority to conventional abdominal laparoscopy (CAL) for hysterectomy in terms of efficiency and safety. However, the investigators note a lack of medical literature and no specific randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing women's sexual function after vNOTES for benign adnexal surgery.
