About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparative Trial of Minimally Invasive Robotic vs. Freehand in Short Adult Degenerative Spinal Fusion Surgeries

The purpose of this study was to quantify potential short- and long-term benefits of robotically-guided minimally invasive spine surgery in instrumentation of degenerative lumbar or lumbosacral spine disease in adult patients, in comparison to instrumentation in a matching cohort of control patients performed using conventional freehand technique.

Being tested
Renaissance, Mazor Robotics Ltd, Caesare, Israel, free hand technique

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Pedicle screw instrumentation accuracy

    The location of pedicle screw is evaluated by postoperative CTs in a subset of patients

    Measured: within 7 days after operation

  2. Oswestry Disability Index

    Health status

    Measured: up to 5 year after operation, every year

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Fusion rates

    This is assessed by postoperative computed tomography at 1 year after surgery

    Measured: up to 5 year after operation

  2. Operation duration

    Intraoperative time

    Measured: After operation

  3. intraoperative blood loss

    intraoperative blood loss

    Measured: after operation

  4. postoperative drainage

    Total drainage after surgery

    Measured: within 3 days after operation

  5. amount of transfusion

    Total transfusion during and after surgery

    Measured: within 7 days after operation

  6. time to ambulation

    immediate postop to ambulation start

    Measured: within 3 days after operation

  7. Change of Oswestry Disability Index

    Health status

    Measured: up to 5 year after surgery, every year

  8. Visual Analog Pain Scale

    Pain status

    Measured: up to 5 year after operation, every year

  9. SF-36

    Health status

    Measured: up to 5 year after operation, every year

  10. Radiographic adjacent level degeneration

    Radiographic changes according to UCLA, vertebral body translation, motion change, segmental kyphosis or lordosis, disc height changes

    Measured: up to 5 year after operation, every year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renaissance, Mazor Robotics Ltd, Caesare, Israel and free hand technique in people with Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 31 Mar 2020. 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.

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?

Pedicle screw instrumentation accuracy (time frame: within 7 days after operation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Mar 2020.
