About this study

Official title: Conventional Laparoscopic Versus Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to conduct a trial of robotic assisted versus traditional laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of patients with vaginal prolapse.

Read the detailed description

Although laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LscASC) has been demonstrated to yield comparable success rates to abdominal sacrocolpopexy (93-99%) for the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, it has not been widely adopted due to the increased operating time and steep learning curves associated with laparoscopic suturing and knot-tying. For these reasons, robotic systems have been advocated for this technique. The objective of this study is to conduct a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial of robotic assisted versus traditional LscASC in the treatment of patients with apical vaginal prolapse stages II-IV (prolapse from 1 cm proximal to the hymen to all points distal).

This is a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Robotic assisted LscASC will be performed using the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) in a similar manner as that described above for conventional laparoscopy. Data points recorded during the procedure will include: operating room time of entry and exit, time from incision to closure and time taken for the suturing aspect of the case. From this information, the operating room costs and anesthesia costs, i.e., the amount that a provider must pay for goods or services, will be calculated. Estimated blood loss, perioperative and post-operative complications, and number of days in the hospital will be studied as will cost-effectiveness and impact on HRQOL

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary outcome: operative time from incision to closure.

    Measured: Primary outcome: will be obtained immediately at the end of each procedure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcomes: perioperative complications, hospital costs and post-operative patient outcomes (anatomic outcomes on physical examination and patient satisfaction using validated condition specific quality of life measures).

    Measured: Secondary outcome: will be collected over the course of the first postoperative year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing robotic laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and Laparoscopic Sacral Colpopexy in people with Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary outcome: operative time from incision to closure. (time frame: Primary outcome: will be obtained immediately at the end of each procedure.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00551993, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2014.
