About this study
Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial Between PRA(Posterior Retroperitoneoscopic Adrenalectomy) and LA(Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy)
The purpose of this study is to compare two surgical methods of adrenalectomy. One is called PRA(posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy), which is performed through 3 or 4 holes at patient's back. The other is LA(laparoscopic adrenalectomy) which is performed through patient's abdominal cavity after making 3 or 4 holes in the abdomen.
Read the detailed description
Since 1992, transabdominal LA(laparoscopic adrenalectomy) has been a standard method of adrenalectomy. This traditional method has been used widely because this procedure provides wide view of the whole abdomen which is familiar to surgeons. But due to its unique location at retroperitoneum, adrenal is still not easy to approach. So various retroperitoneal approaches were designed and adjusted. Among those, PRA(posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy) has showed good outcomes in many institutes. PRA facilitates direct approach to kidney and adrenal gland, and so operative time can be shortened. But there has been no randomized controlled trial between these two methods.
Therefore, as experienced surgeons in both methods, we want to practice this study.

Measured: Participants will be followed until the first visit of out patients clinic after discharge, an expected average of 3 weeks
Blood loss during operation
Measured: Participants will be followed until the first visit of out patients clinic after discharge, an expected average of 3 weeks
Intra-operative hemodynamic status
Events as below will be recorded and compared severe hypertension(systolic BP>200mmHg), severe hypotension(systolic BP<90mmHg), Tachycardia(HR>110/min), Bradycardia(HR<50/min)
Measured: Participants will be followed until the first visit of out patients clinic after discharge, an expected average of 3 weeks

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?
Operation time (time frame: Participants will be followed until the first visit of out patients clinic after discharge, an expected average of 3 weeks). 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 NCT01676025, 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 6 Oct 2017.
