About this study

Official title: Assistance Robotics for the Surgical Treatment of the Abdominal Wall Hernia

The aim of this study is to prove the superiority of the robotic assistance in laparoscopic repair of abdominal wall hernias .

In this monocentric randomized controlled trial, the use of the DA VINCI robot might reduce the post-operative pain of the patient resulting in a 40% reduction of morphine consumption.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic Robot Assisted abdominal wall hernia repair : a prospective randomized trial:

The main judgement criterion is post operative pain reflected by morphine consumption during the first 48 hours. Secondary criteria are morbidity, quality of life, duration of surgery, conversion rate, complications, the the length of stay and hospital costs.

In this single centre study, inclusion criteria are age above 18, no previous repair of the hernia with a mesh and a diameter of the parietal defect of less than 10 cm. Contraindications are chronic use of pain drugs of level II or above and renal insufficiency (clearance <30ml/min).

The robotic repair was described in a previous paper of our group and will be compared to our classical laparoscopic repair technique, and in both cases with the use of the same prosthetic mesh.

A total of 70 patients to be included in an 18 months period was calculated to prove a 40% reduction in morphine consumption during the postoperative 48h (α=5% and β=10%).

The total duration of the study is 30 months (12 months of follow-up for each patient).

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the reduction in morphine consumption

    Measured: during the postoperative 48h

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pain patient (ENS, total consumption of morphine)

    Measured: during the hospitalization, to 10 days,1 month, 6 months and 12 months of surgery

  2. quality of life (questionary SF-36)

    Measured: 1 month, 6 month and 12 month of surgery

  3. length of stay in hospital, percentage return home to 24 hours of surgery

    Measured: to 24 hours of surgery

  4. morbidity

    Measured: during the study

  5. resumption of work

    Measured: after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Laparoscopic DA VINCI Robot Assisted coelioscopy and conventional coelioscopy in people with Abdominal Wall Hernia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 2 Aug 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 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.

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?

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?

Evaluate the reduction in morphine consumption (time frame: during the postoperative 48h). 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 2 Aug 2013.
