Transvaginal Diagnostic Study in Women With Pelvic Pain

NCT00574444 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

We propose a phase I study of laparoscopic assisted, transvaginal peritoneoscopy by using flexible endoscopy in female patients with pelvic pain. It is designed as a hybrid procedure with laparoscopy using one port for adequate safety with the ultimate goal in the future that transvaginal NOTES can replace therapeutic pelviscopy for this indication. The standard number of port sites for diagnostic laparoscopy is 2-3. By reducing the number and size of laparoscopic port, patients should already experience benefits from this hybrid procedure.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

transvaginal diagnostic peritoneoscopy

For patients with pelvic pain, a transvaginal procedure can be done to explore the abdomen. Entering through the vagina, will hopefully decrease the number of ports in the abdomen and decrease pain and healing time.
