About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Robot-Assisted Surgery in Gynecologic Oncology

The goal of this observational study is to collect information about the length of surgery, the procedures performed during surgery, and any possible side effects of robot-assisted gynecologic cancer surgeries. The researchers also want to learn if patients who have robot-assisted surgeries have fewer complications during recovery.

Read the detailed description

Information Collection:

If you agree to take part in this study, the following information will be collected from your medical record after surgery:

  • The reason you had or are scheduled to have robot-assisted surgery.
  • How long the surgery took to complete.
  • What procedures were performed during the surgery.
  • If cancer was or was not found in the tissue that was removed.
  • How long you were in the hospital.
  • What complications, if any, happened that are related to the surgery.

Follow-Up Questionnaires:

Depending on when you enroll in the study, you may be asked to complete a short questionnaire 3 different times, each questionnaire will take less than 10 minutes to complete. If you had surgery for cervical cancer, you will complete the questionnaire 2 weeks after surgery. All patients will complete the questionnaires 4-6 weeks after surgery, and again 3-6 months later.

If you have your follow up care with a doctor outside of MD Anderson, you will be called to complete the questionnaires over the phone. Each phone call should last about 10 minutes This questionnaire and/or phone calls will ask questions about any side effects you have experienced that you think may be related to the surgery.

Length of Study:

After the last questionnaire is completed, your participation in the study is over.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 1,000 patients will take part in this study at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Banner MD Anderson Arizona.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gynecologic Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 2 sites 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Data Collection of Surgical Times, Procedures Performed, Intra-operative + Postoperative Complications of Robot-assisted Gynecologic Oncology Cases (time frame: 5 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
