About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Extraction-site Location in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery - Midline Incision vs Off-midline Incision-

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the midline extraction incision in patients with colon cancer. A prospective randomized controlled trial is conducted to compare midline extraction incision with off-midline extraction incision.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic colon surgery is less invasive and more cosmetic than open surgery. But the extraction-site incision is 4 to 5 cm, and it is the largest and most painful incision in laparoscopic colon surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the midline extraction incision in patients with colon cancer. A prospective randomized controlled trial is conducted to compare midline extraction incision with off-midline extraction incision. The investigators hypothesize that the use of the midline extraction incision in laparoscopic colon surgery will result in more cosmetic effect and better quality of life compared to the off-midline extraction incision.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing midline incision or off-midline incision in people with Colon Cancer, run by Hiroki Yamaue.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact Katsunari Takifuji (073-447-2300 ext. 5112, takifuji@wakayama-med.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cosmetic effect (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02253303, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
