About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact on ovarian reserve after single- port, two-port, or four-port access laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation based on serum anti mullerian hormone change.

Read the detailed description

With the recent development of surgical instruments techniques, minimally invasive surgery is more feasible in various field of surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has potential benefit of decreased patient discomfort, short hospital stay, superior cosmetic results and decreased convalescence time. Recently, various efforts have been continued for minimally invasive surgery, one of the recently emerging concepts is single port surgery. Several studies have demonstrated that single-port laparoscopic surgery is feasible and safe in gynecology.

However, some limits could be occurred, such as the occurrence of less freedom degrees between the instruments and limits surgical vision, thus limiting surgeon's movements. So, two-port laparoscopy combined access through umbilical and additional suprapubic incision have been used and reported. In case of single port access laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation, due to limits of surgeon's movements, cyst enucleation or bipolar electrocoagulation of the ovarian parenchyma adversely affected ovarian function.

Some studies reported that after laparoscopic cyst enucleation, there had been shown marked reduction of ovarian function compared with surgery by laparotomy. Therefore we attempt to investigate the impact of single port laparoscopy that have limits of surgical procedures on ovarian reserve after ovarian cyst enucleation.

To evaluate ovarian reserve change, we will use the anti-mullerian hormone. It is produced by granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles and has been recently acknowledged as the useful, reliable, and sensitive hormonal serum marker of the ovarian primordial follicle pool. In addition, the AMH level represents a stronger independent marker of ovarian reserve without significant fluctuation during the menstrual cycle, which progressively decreases with age.

Therefore, this prospective study is performed to compare the differences in ovarian reserve after single-port, two-port, or four-port access laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation based on serum anti mullerian hormone change. Serum anti mullerian hormone is measured at preoperative and at postoperative 1week, 1 and 3 months.

A surgical glove with three 5mm trocars inserted into three fingers was draped around the rim of the wound retractor.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Preoperative and postoperative changes in anti-mullerian hormone level

    The primary outcome of our study is the impact on ovarian reserve determined by AMH after the application of the three laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of ovarian cyst.In all study patients, at preoperation and 1 week, 1 month, 3 month after operation, AMH is serially measured.

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative at 1week, 1 and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. postoperative pain scores

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation in people with Ovarian Cyst, run by CHA University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Preoperative and postoperative changes in anti-mullerian hormone level (time frame: preoperative, postoperative at 1week, 1 and 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01631253, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jul 2012.
