Trial summary

Introduction: Any form of trauma, including surgery is known to result in oxidative stress. Single incision laparoscopy is a step forward towards almost scarless surgery. It is also expected to result in a lower degree of free radicals generation and faster normalization of the organism's antioxidant capacity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Plasma Total Antioxidant Status and Thiobarbituric Acid-reacting Substances in Patients With Inguinal Hernia Operated by Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) or Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)

Introduction: Any form of trauma, including surgery is known to result in oxidative stress. Single incision laparoscopy is a step forward towards almost scarless surgery. It is also expected to result in a lower degree of free radicals generation and faster normalization of the organism's antioxidant capacity.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess a number of plasma oxidative stress markers in patients operated due to inguinal hernia using typical totally extra peritoneal (TEP) and modified single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) methods.

Material and methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients with no acute disease and severe chronic disorder, were qualified for inguinal hernia laparoscopic surgery. All were caucasian males, aged 24-69 and they underwent one of two surgical approaches: totally extra-peritoneal repair (TEP) and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). TEP patients created Group 1 (n= 17) and SILS patients formed Group 2 (n= 17). Total antioxidant status (TAS) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) were determined in three time points: before, one day and four days after the laparoscopic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Thirty-two consecutive patients with no acute disease and severe chronic disorder were qualified for inguinal hernia laparoscopic surgery. All were caucasian males, aged 24-69 underwent one of two different surgical approaches: totally extra-peritoneal (TEP) repair and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). TEP patients created Group 1 (n= 17) and SILS patients formed Group 2 (n= 17).

Blood Sampling and Biochemical Analysis Ulnar venous blood samples were collected from the participants three times (fasting, between 6:00 and 7:00 AM): before (0), one day (1) and four days (2) after laparoscopic surgery. Baseline (0) blood samples were used for routine pre-operative laboratory assessment, including complete blood count, basic coagulation tests, C-reactive protein, glucose and electrolytes levels. Total antioxidant status (TAS) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) were determined in three time points: 0, 1 and 2 as described above.

Spectrophotometry was used to measure TAS (RANDOX Laboratories, Crumlin, Antrim, UK) on Statfax 1904Plus (Awareness Technology, Palm City, FL) and TBARS according to the Okhawa method [11] (Sigma reagents, Germany) on Specord M40 (Carl-Zeiss, Germany). The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were as follows: TAS (1.6 % and 3.7%), and TBARS (1.9% and 3.8%)

What participants receive

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

  • Procedures of hernia repair.Procedure or surgery

    We use two procedure: single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and totally extra-peritoneal repair (TEP). SILS procedure used one approche - 10mm (experimental). TEP procedure used three approaches 2x5mm and 1x10mm (active comparator).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Procedures of hernia repair. in people with Inguinal Hernia, run by Poznan University of Medical Sciences.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 12 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Assessment of changes in the concentration of Total antioxidant status, Thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances. (time frame: Before treatment). 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 12 Jan 2015.
