About this study

Official title: Use of the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci® Single-Site™ With Instruments and Accessories for Single-Port Laparoscopic Nephrectomies

Feasibility study on robotic-assisted single-site donor nephrectomy utilizing da Vinci instrumentation and Single-Site platforms.

Read the detailed description

Our center has performed over 200 single-port donor nephrectomies with standard laparoscopy and has reported patient benefits associated with a single port approach. The single port robotic platform offers the potential to ameliorate the significant technical and ergonomic challenges that currently limit more widespread application of single port donor surgery. After being informed of the potential risks and off-label use of the da Vinci Single-Site approach in our study, patients will undergo a robotic-assisted single-site donor nephrectomy performed by a two-surgeon team utilizing existing da Vinci instrumentation and Single-Site platforms. Renal mobilization and vascular dissection will be performed with manual laparoscopy performed for vascular division utilizing stapling devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful Completion of the Surgical Procedure

    The primary objective is to determine the feasibility measure of the current Single-Site platform to perform donor nephrectomy prior to vascular division and extraction. Specifically, it will be recorded which portions of the operation utilized the robotic device. The primary outcome variable is the completion of the operation for kidney donation.

    Measured: during operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Operative Times

    Operative times will closely be measured

    Measured: during operation

  2. Blood Loss

    Blood loss of patients will be closely monitored and recorded.

    Measured: during operation

  3. The Comparison of Surgeon Ergonomic Questionnaires in Robotic Assisted Versus Standard Laparoscopic Single Port Donor Nephrectomies.

    A surgeon ergonomics questionnaire will be given to surgeons after performing both robotic assisted and standard laparoscopic single port donor nephrectomies. The results from both of these surveys will then be compared. These are qualitative and were not analyzed for statistical trends.

    Measured: intra-operative experience collected within 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing da Vinci® Single-Site™ in people with Renal Transplant Donor of Left Kidney and Donor Nephrectomy, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 20 Nov 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Successful Completion of the Surgical Procedure (time frame: during operation). 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 NCT01925677, 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 20 Nov 2019.
