Perioperative Outcome of Infraumbilical Versus a Modified Intraumbilical Direct Trocar Insertion
A study testing infraumbilical transverse incision and intraumbilical incision in people with Gynecologic Disease, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Laparoscopic surgery is now a well-established alternative to open surgery for many gynecological disorders owing to its faster wound healing, shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results. Postoperative scar cosmoses is a critical issue for women, especially for young women. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Perioperative Outcome of Infraumbilical Versus a Modified Intraumbilical Direct Trocar Insertion in Gynecologic Laparoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Laparoscopic surgery is now a well-established alternative to open surgery for many gynecological disorders owing to its faster wound healing, shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results. Postoperative scar cosmoses is a critical issue for women, especially for young women. These scars may have negative impacts, such as psychological consequences. The symptoms associated with the wound, such as pain, tenderness, and itching, can be induced by the scars
- Conditions
- Gynecologic Disease
- Being tested
- infraumbilical transverse incision, intraumbilical incision
- Medical subject headings
- Genital Diseases, Female
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
infraumbilical transverse incisionProcedure or surgery
a 10 mm infraumbilical transverse incision will be done to allow trocar to be inserted without undue resistance from the skin so that the trocar will pass through the fascia and the peritoneum with ease
intraumbilical incisionProcedure or surgery
right sided curved longitudinal intraumbilical incision will be performed for initial intraperitoneal access
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| study group | Experimental | infraumbilical transverse incision will be done Receives: Procedure: infraumbilical transverse incision |
| control group | Active comparator | Direct intraumbilical transverse incision will be done Receives: Procedure: intraumbilical incision |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
the mean difference in the duration of surgery
calculated from the onset of surgery till the end
Measured: 30 minutes
