About this study

Official title: Assessment of Feasibility and Benefit of the Use of Less Than 3 Millimeter Diameter's Instruments Compared to Standard Size Instruments in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: a Randomized Single-center Comparative Study

Hysterectomy for benign uterine disease is often intended to young perimenopausal patients. Currently laparoscopic hysterectomy is commonly used in this indication. We are wondering if decreasing the diameter of laparoscopic instruments could reduce postoperative pain and improve esthetic result without increasing operative time. The purpose of the study is to improve patients' care.

Read the detailed description

That is why we propose a randomized comparative study between standard instrument and less than 3 millimeter diameter's instruments to achieve in daily practice laparoscopic hysterectomy.

The study will be unicentric, single-blind. Study period will be one year and 4 months. Patients will be enrolled in pre-operative consultations or at the weekly staff. They will have to sign an informed consent.

The day before surgery: patients will be randomized by the statistician. A resident will carry out a preoperative ultrasound to determine an estimated uterine volume. Nurses will make a blood test (hemoglobin).

The day of surgery we will assess: operative time, surgeon's ergonomics, the amount of bleeding, patient's pain at rest and mobilization.

At Day-1 post surgery nurses will make an other blood test (hemoglobin) and we will assess patient's pain at rest and mobilization.

At the postoperative consultation we will lister : complications (Accordion Severity score classification), esthetic result (PSAQ), patient's pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. operative time

    Measured: at day 1 (at the end of the surgery)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. quantity of intraoperative bleeding

    Measured: at day 1 (at the end of the intervention)

  2. hemoglobin

    Measured: at day 1

  3. Pain Rating Scale (VAS)

    Measured: at day 1 (at 6 hours potoperative hours)

  4. Pain Rating Scale (VAS)

    Measured: at day 1 (at 24 postoperative hours)

  5. standard laparoscopy conversion rate

    Measured: at day 1

  6. postoperative complications

    postoperative complications according Accordion Severity Classification score (grade> or = 2) listed at each additional hospitalisation

    Measured: at each additional hospitalisation

  7. Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS)

    Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS)completed at the time of post-operative consultation

    Measured: at 6 and 8 weeks after surgery.

  8. Surgen's ergonomics

    Surgen's ergonomics evaluated at the end of the surgery (NASA-TLX scale)

    Measured: at the end of the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic hysterectomy in people with Benign Uterine Diseases, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2015. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

operative time (time frame: at day 1 (at the end of the surgery)). 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 22 Sep 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
