Summary

This trial is comparing 3 different ways to do a laparoscopic salpingectomy to see which is best for the patient in terms of experience, recovery, and satisfaction.

Who is the study for?
The POPS Trial is for premenopausal women who are planning to have elective sterilization surgery and can give written consent. Women with a non-prolapsed uterus are eligible, but those with conditions like rectal surgery history, suspected endometriosis or malignancy, infections, virginity or pregnancy cannot participate.
What is being tested?
This study compares patient experiences after laparoscopic salpingectomy (tube removal for sterilization) done through three different surgical methods: traditional laparoscopy, single-site laparoscopy, and V-Notes surgery. It aims to assess recovery quality, preferences and satisfaction.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial's description does not specify side effects, typical risks of these surgeries may include pain at the incision site, bleeding, infection risk post-surgery and potential complications related to anesthesia.
