About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Open Versus Laparoscopic Dismembered Pyeloplasty Among Adult Patients With Primary Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction

To prospectively compare the perioperative, morphological and functional outcomes on short and medium term between laparoscopic (LP) and open pyeloplasty (OP) patients.

Read the detailed description

Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is defined as a functionally significant impairment of the flow of urine from the kidney's renal pelvis into the proximal ureter.

Open pyeloplasty (OP) has been the gold standard for PUJO repair since the first successful reconstruction of an obstructed PUJO was accomplished in 1892, and achieves success rates exceeding 90%.

Various open surgical techniques have been described based on the cause, location, and length of the PUJO. The most popular repair is the Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty, which has universal application and is accepted as the gold standard of treatment.

Now, Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty represents a minimally invasive alternative of gold standard open Anderson- Hynes technique that has a comparable successful outcome with open pyeloplasty while avoiding its co-morbidities. It is also better than endopylotomy as it deals effectively with the crossing vessel

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoscopic pyeloplastyProcedure or surgery

    The first trocar was inserted under vision through the same supraumbilical incision and the intraperitoneal cavity was inspected The second 5 mm trocar was placed in the midclavicular line 2 inches below the costal margin. The third 10 mm trocar was placed lateral to the rectus muscle at the level of the anterior superior iliac spine. In right-sided pyeloplasty, a fourth trocar was inserted below the xiphistemum for liver retraction. Incision of the line of Toldt and mobilization of the colon was the first step of the transperitoneal approach. A 4/0 polysorbe stay suture was taken in the lateral aspect of the ureter distal to uretero-pelvic junction obstruction to identify the correct orientation after dismembering the ureter. A full thickness anastomosis was started from the angle of V shape spatulation to the lower pole of the renal pelvis.

  • Open pyeloplastyProcedure or surgery

    A flank incision with the patient in lateral position was undertaken in open pyeloplasty. After accessing the retro- peritoneum, the ureter was identified and traced cranially till the PUJ segment.

    Traction sutures was placed on the renal pelvis followed by excision of the narrowing segment. The ureter was spatulated by approximately 2 cm and a reduction pyeloplasty was performed, where necessary. Anastomosis was undertaken using vicryl 4-0 sutures. The primary anastomotic site was sutured in interrupted fashion followed by a continuous running suture of the posterior wall. Next, antegrade DJ stenting was performed and the anterior wall was anastomosed. After haemostatic control a 22 Fr drain was placed in the surgical bed.

    Measured: Intraoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Etiology of obstruction

    Etiology of obstruction such as adynamic segment, crossing vessel, stenotic segment, adhesions, and abnormal gonadal vein were recorded.

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  2. Complications

    Complications was recorded such as wound complications, loin or abdominal pain, fever, chills and rigor, change of color of urine, dysuria.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopic pyeloplasty and Open pyeloplasty in people with Open and Laparoscopic, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 12 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 27 Aug 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Amount of blood loss (time frame: Intraoperatively). 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 27 Aug 2024.
