Trial summary

Robotic technology has been used for laparoscopic hysterectomies for over 10 years. Mayo Clinic Arizona has used robotics in Gynecology for the last 10 years with well over 500 procedures performed. Similar to the laparoscopic approach, small incisions are utilized with the robotic approach. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Hysterectomy With and Without Robotic Assistance: a Randomized Prospective Trial

Robotic technology has been used for laparoscopic hysterectomies for over 10 years. Mayo Clinic Arizona has used robotics in Gynecology for the last 10 years with well over 500 procedures performed. Similar to the laparoscopic approach, small incisions are utilized with the robotic approach. Robotic instruments differ from laparoscopic instruments in that the tips of the instruments can rotate more like the human wrist. The instruments are attached to the robotic arms which are controlled by your surgeon. The surgeon is seated at the surgeon's console which is located 12 feet from the patient while the surgical assistant is at your bedside assisting in the procedure.

This study is being done to compare the procedure times and results after laparoscopic hysterectomies to laparoscopic hysterectomies performed with robotic assistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Robotic hysterectomy and Standard Hysterectomy in people with Hysterectomy, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jun 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Total Procedure Time - Skin Incision to Skin Closure (time frame: At skin closure.). 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 28 Jun 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
