Trial summary

The aim of the present work was to evaluate if the presence on the operating field of a 3D printed personalized model of the pulmonary anatomy of a patient operated by full thoracoscopy for an anatomical segmentectomy, makes it possible to reduce the mental workload and the fatigue of the surgeon.

About this study

Official title: Contribution of 3D Printing in Anatomical Lung Segmentectomies: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate if the presence on the operating field of a 3D printed personalized model of the pulmonary anatomy of a patient operated by full thoracoscopy for an anatomical segmentectomy, makes it possible to reduce the mental workload and the fatigue of the surgeon.

Read the detailed description

Between 28.10.2020 and 05.10.2021, we successively included all anatomic segmentectomies performed by full thoracoscopy in our department, except for S6 segmentectomies, S4+5 left bisegmentectomy and patients for whom the time to surgery was considered too short to obtain the 3D printed model before surgery.

We performed a prospective randomized controlled pilot trial on 2 parallel arms:

  • The "Digital" arm
  • The "Digital+Object" arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgeon's mental workload.

    measure of mental workload by the NASA-TLX score at the end of the surgery: It is a multidimensional rating scale that has six bipolar dimensions: mental demand (MD); physical demand (PD); time demand (TD); self performance (P); effort (E); and frustration (F). The dimensions thus reflect tasks (DM, PD, TD), performance (P), and behavioral factors (E and F). NASA-TLX is calculated through a self-questionnaire, using 20-point visual analogue scales anchored by very low and very high. The test provides a global load score between zero and 100 and by sub-dimensions, higher scores indicating higher mental loads of subjective perceptions.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The surgeon's stress during surgery

    To assess stress, the surgeon wore a Holter device throughout the surgical procedure

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Surgeon's attention to work by d2-R test

    For the evaluation of the surgeon's attention to work at the end of the surgery, we used first d2-R test.

    Scoring of the d2-R test included the following: concentration performance (CC), which represents the capacity of concentration; total number of target items processed, included the omitted ones (CCT), which informs about the speed of processing the test; percentage of errors (E%) which is defined as (total number of errors x 100)/CCT, and reflects performance accuracy.

    These scores are standardized to standard score (NS), used by default for the computerized d2-R. The NS ranges from 20 to 80, with an average of 50. In the normal distribution scale of the d2-R test, 7% of the normative subjects scored under 35, 24% scored between 35 and 44, 38% scored between 45 and 55, 24% scored from 56 to 65 and 7% scored over 65. The scores are consider very weak, weak, mean, high and very high, respectively.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Surgeon's attention to work by EncephalApp Stroop test.

    For the evaluation of the surgeon's attention to work at the end of the surgery, we used also EncephalApp Stroop test.

    The task has two components: "off" and "on" states. In the "off " state, the surgeon views a pound signs (###) presented in red, green, or blue, one at a time and has to respond as quickly as possible by touching the matching color of the stimulus to the colors displayed at the bottom of the screen. In the "on" state the subject has to accurately select the color of the word presented, which is actually the name of the color in discordant coloring. The specific outcomes of the EncephalApp Stroop test were: the total time for five correct runs in the "off " state (OffTime) and in the "on" state (OnTime); the number of runs needed to complete the five correct "off" runs and five correct "on" runs.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. The surgeon's overall satisfaction at the end of the surgery.

    To assess surgeon subjective satisfaction at the end of the surgery, we used a subjective satisfaction 5-point Likert scale

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Duration of the surgical procedure

    calculated from the skin incision to the completion of the segmentectomy

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Surgery, run by Institut Mutualiste Montsouris 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 25 Jan 2023. 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?

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?

Surgeon's mental workload. (time frame: 1 day). 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 25 Jan 2023.
