It will be conducted in two gynecological endoscopy centers: • ElShatby University Hospital, a tertiary level hospital in Alexandria, Egypt. • Al-Madina Women Hospital, A specialized hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Alexandria, Egypt. Patient selection: women with uterine leiomyomata and planning for laparoscopic myomectomy will be assessed for eligibility then will be enrolled in the trial according to the following inclusion and exclusion criteria, after providing a written informed consent of participation. Outcome variables of the study: The primary outcome is intraoperative blood loss and the change in postoperative hemoglobin. The secondary outcomes of this study are the operative time of performing uterine arteries occlusion and the postoperative ovarian reserve.', 'detailedDescription': 'The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and impact on ovarian reserve of different techniques of bilateral uterine artery occlusion in women in the reproductive age group scheduled for laparoscopic myomectomy. The main question\\[s\\] it aims to answer \\[is/are\\]:Do the different techniques for laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion prior to myomectomy decrease the intraoperative blood loss and the postoperative hemoglobin? The investigator intends to compare three different techniques for laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion (clipping, temporary suture, and coagulation) versus control group (no occlusion of uterine arteries) to see the effect on intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hemoglobin, and impact on ovarian reserve. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of the following study arms: \\* ARM 1: Will undergo temporary clipping of both uterine arteries before laparoscopic myomectomy (LAP-M). \\* ARM 2: Will undergo temporary occlusion of both uterine arteries using the Shoe-lace suture technique before LAP-M. \\* ARM 3: Will undergo permanent occlusion of both uterine arteries using bipolar coagulation before LAP-M. \\* ARM 4 (Control group): Will undergo only LAP-M without occlusion of uterine arteries.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'genderBased': True, 'genderDescription': 'Self-identified females', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* women with uterine fibroids and complaining of either abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, urinary or rectosigmoid pressure manifestations.\n* Fibroid size from 3 - 10 cm in diameter and with\n* a maximum number of 3 fibroids.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* contraindication to pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopy,\n* patients with BMI \\> 30 kg/m2,\n* history of midline abdominal incisions,\n* women with history of prior ovarian surgery,\n* women with history of hormonal treatment for the last 3 months before surgery,\n* women who are not good candidate for myomectomy and who would benefit more from hysterectomy such as, women with multiple ≥ 4 leiomyomata, associated adenomyosis, recurrent fibroids after myomectomy.\n* suspected endometrial malignancy or suspected leiomyosarcoma features on ultrasound and/or MRI.\n* Submucous fibroids who will undergo hysteroscopic myomectomy beside the laparoscopic surgery.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07352761', 'briefTitle': 'Bilateral Uterine Artery Occlusion During Laparoscopic Myomectomy', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Alexandria University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparing Different Techniques of Bilateral Uterine Artery Occlusion During Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Alexandria University, OBGYN'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Temporary clipping of uterine arteries', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Temporary clipping of uterine artery']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Temporary occlusive suturing of uterine artery', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Temporary occlusive suturing of uterine artery']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Bipolar coagulation of uterine arteries', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Bipolar coagulation of uterine arteries']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'No occlusion of uterine artery', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Laparoscopic myomectomy only']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Temporary clipping of uterine artery', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Both uterine arteries will be temporary clipped with a Titanium clip till the end of the myomectomy procedure', 'armGroupLabels': ['Temporary clipping of uterine arteries']}, {'name': 'Temporary occlusive suturing of uterine artery', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'A "Shoelace" suture will be applied to both uterine arteries and the sutures will be removed at the end of the myomectomy procdure', 'armGroupLabels': ['Temporary occlusive suturing of uterine artery']}, {'name': 'Bipolar coagulation of uterine arteries', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Permanent coagulation of both uterine arteries will be performed by Bipolar forceps before the start of the myomectomy procedure', 'armGroupLabels': ['Bipolar coagulation of uterine arteries']}, {'name': 'Laparoscopic myomectomy only', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'No occlusion of uterine arteries will be performed.
