About this study

Official title: Outpatient Radical Prostatectomy - Surgical and Anesthetic Considerations - Open Label Randomized Pilot Study

Radical prostatectomy has become the gold standard treatment for prostate cancer.

Regarding of morbidity of access on open retropubic radical prostatectomy a lot of centers around the world start to develop laparoscopic and robotic approach over the past years. The problems regarding this techniques is that the pure laparoscopic prostatectomy shows a steep learning curve with a high initial complication rate, and the use of robotic assistance surgery despite of lower learning curve is associated with higher surgical supply and operative room costs. These costs may have a significant impact on overall cost of prostate cancer care especially in Brazil.

In Brazil, the open route for radical prostatectomy is still the most frequent approach. One of the disadvantages of open prostatectomy from the other surgeries is the longest hospital stay. However, the question of what length of stay after this operation is optimal and necessary is unresolved. In this trial the investigators have compared a randomized group of patients that had discharged on postoperative day 2, 1 and same day surgery. The investigators had intent to evaluate the feasibility of ambulatory open radical prostatectomy (patient discharge in the same day of surgery - average 12 hours of hospitalization) maintaining patient satisfaction and safety.

Read the detailed description

Radical prostatectomy initially described by Walsh (1982) has become the gold standard treatment for prostate cancer and has evolved enormously over the last 25 years. Improvements include the use of smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and surgical refinement. Several large series with long-term follow-up have confirmed that this approach results in excellent cancer control and functional results in terms of preservation of erectile potency and urinary continence.

Regarding of morbidity of access on open retropubic radical prostatectomy a lot of centers around the world start to develop laparoscopic and robotic approach over the past years. The problems regarding this techniques is that the pure laparoscopic prostatectomy shows a steep learning curve with a high initial complication rate, and the use of robotic assistance surgery despite of lower learning curve is associated with higher surgical supply and operative room costs. These costs may have a significant impact on overall cost of prostate cancer care especially in Brazil where nowadays only have 3 centers with 5 robots.

In Brazil, the open route for radical prostatectomy is still the most frequent approach, mainly out of large cities. One of the disadvantages of open prostatectomy from minimally invasive surgeries is the longest hospital stay. However, the question of what length of stay after this operation is optimal and necessary is unresolved. In this trial the investigators have compared a randomized group of patients that had discharged on postoperative day 2, 1 and same day surgery. The investigators had intent to evaluate the feasibility of ambulatory open radical prostatectomy (patient discharge in the same day of surgery - average 12 hours of hospitalization) while maintaining patient satisfaction and safety.

What participants receive

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

  • patient discharge on postoperative day 2Procedure or surgery

    The patient was discharge on postoperative day 2 (as was done routinely)

  • patient discharge on postoperative day 1Procedure or surgery

    The patient was discharge on postoperative day 1

  • patient discharge in the day of surgeryProcedure or surgery

    The patient was discharge in the evening of the same day of surgery (average 12 hours of hospitalization)

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of ambulatory open radical prostatectomy while maintaining patient satisfaction and safety.

    The endpoint regarding the survey is the comparison with standard group discharged at postoperative day 2. The satisfaction was considered non similar when there were more than 1 negative answer for any question or any patient in comparison to standard group in these questions: Do you consider your postoperative care adequate ? / Was your understanding of the necessary postoperative care adequate before enrolling for this study? Was your pain control adequate? / Was the length of hospitalization adequate? / Would you choose to have the procedure again with the same length of hospitalization? / Did you take any analgesic postoperatively after being discharged? / Did you take any analgesic postoperatively after being discharged? / Have you received adequate medical and nurse's care during the post-operative period? / Did you consider the access to the hospital easy if you needed it? / Would you recommend other men undergo this procedure the same way you?

    Measured: 2 weeks postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing patient discharge on postoperative day 2, patient discharge on postoperative day 1 and patient discharge in the day of surgery in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Wesley Justino Magnabosco at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 14 Jan 2016. 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 Brazil. 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?

Feasibility of ambulatory open radical prostatectomy while maintaining patient satisfaction and safety. (time frame: 2 weeks postoperatively). 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 14 Jan 2016.
