This study is looking at a new way to collect cells and fluid from the uterus during gynecologic surgery. It uses a procedure called uterine lavage, where saline (saltwater) is gently introduced into your uterus and then collected. Researchers want to see if this method is practical and safe, and to understand what kinds of cells are present in these samples. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, having gynecologic surgery at Stanford Healthcare, and have an intact uterus, cervix, and at least one intact fallopian tube and ovary. The study aims to enroll 50 participants, and its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study designed to test the feasibility of a new collection method. It will enroll 50 participants consecutively, and all will receive the uterine lavage procedure.

What's involved

If you participate, you will undergo the uterine lavage procedure during your gynecologic surgery. The study's primary goal is to characterize the cellular composition of the fluid collected at that time.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint, characterizing cellular composition, is measured at the time of gynecologic surgery. No further follow-up is specified.
