Trial summary

Adnexal masses are a common clinical problem encountered in gynecological practice. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for ovarian pathologies has been adopted widely. Its goals are to minimize abdominal incisions and postoperative pain and to prevent incisional complications, such as incisional hernias and adhesions. Read more about this study

About this study

Adnexal masses are a common clinical problem encountered in gynecological practice. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for ovarian pathologies has been adopted widely. Its goals are to minimize abdominal incisions and postoperative pain and to prevent incisional complications, such as incisional hernias and adhesions. Compared with open procedures, MIS is associated with faster recovery times, better patient quality of life, and lower postoperative complication rates. The removal of an adnexal mass from the abdominal cavity is performed most commonly using the suprapubic, umbilical, or vaginal route. Apart from these, mini laparoscopy can provide a better cosmetic result without additional operative time or complications. Despite the limited use of mini laparoscopy for gynecological procedures, its use has increased recently.

After excision, an adnexal mass can be removed through a laparoscopic (LS) port using a variety of endoscopic or containment bags. After the mass has been placed in it, the bag is withdrawn, closed, and expelled through the skin incision with simultaneous trocar removal. When a mass is large or cannot be removed through the port, the incision may be enlarged slightly. This situation may yield a cosmetically worse outcome and increases the risk of postoperative complications, such as adhesion, hernia, and increased postoperative pain. Thus, natural orifice surgery (NOS) has emerged for tissue removal in such cases.

This study was performed to compare the transumbilical (TU) and transvaginal (TV) routes for adnexal mass removal from the abdominal cavity

  • Laparoscopic adnexal mass extractionProcedure or surgery

    Compared with open procedures, Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is associated with faster recovery times, better patient quality of life, and lower postoperative complication rates. The removal of an adnexal mass from the abdominal cavity is performed most commonly using the suprapubic, trans umbilical (TU), or trans vaginal (TV) route.

Study groups in NCT05421117
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
transumbilical (TU) routesFor the TU group, a surgical glove was created bag during the operation as follows: a sterile, surgical latex glove (size 8.5) was double tied at the level of the wrist, the fingers were removed, and a 75-cm purse-string suture was made using a symmetrical knot to form a bag. The glove bag took an average of 10 min to make. It was lubricated with normal saline to remove the talcum powder and then introduced through the 10-mm umbilical port (optic port). The fingers of the glove were removed to facilitate its insertion with the 10-mm trocar and for ease of movement in the abdominal cavity.
Receives: Procedure: Laparoscopic adnexal mass extraction
transvaginal (TV) routesA curette was placed into the uterine cavity and stabilized with a tenaculum for manipulation of the uterus. After separation of the adnexal mass ligaments, the manipulator was removed to perform TV retrieval. A vaginal retractor was inserted into the vagina to view the cervix and allow removal of the mass via the TV route. The posterior lip of the cervix was grasped with an Allis forceps and then pulled superiorly to expose the posterior vaginal dome. The sampler was inserted into the vagina and pushed gently against the vaginal wall to define the posterior fornix between the uterosacral ligaments. A 1-2-cm transverse TV posterior colpotomy was performed under laparoscopic control using a 3-mm monopolar hook. The sample was pulled into the vagina by holding the bag mouth from the colpotomy with ring forceps. The bag mouth was opened in the vaginal canal and the sample was transferred from the vagina.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incisional pain score

    Each patient was asked by the care nurse or assistant doctor to record the severity of incisional pain on a Visual Analogue Scale (0, no pain; 10, unbearable pain) 3 hours after surgery.

    Measured: The time between the end of the surgery and 3 hours after the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgical Procedure, Unspecified, run by Erzincan Military Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Incisional pain score (time frame: The time between the end of the surgery and 3 hours after the operation). 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 16 Jun 2022.
