Trial summary

The 3D-systems have emerged also to the world of surgery, and the three-dimensional laparoscopic systems are gradually entering the operating rooms. In the normal laparoscopy there are only two-dimensional view, which is somewhat challenging when operating in three-dimensional environment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 3 Versus 2 Dimensional HD Laparoscopy in Cholecystectomy: a Prospective, Single Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Trial

The 3D-systems have emerged also to the world of surgery, and the three-dimensional laparoscopic systems are gradually entering the operating rooms. In the normal laparoscopy there are only two-dimensional view, which is somewhat challenging when operating in three-dimensional environment. Even though the 3D-systems have been widely studied in laboratory circumstances, there are still no evidence of benefits of 3D vs 2D in clinical point of view and no prospective randomized trials have been published. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate is there something to gain in changing into 3D laparoscopic system for cholecystectomy (LCC).

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of surgery

    Measured: Expected average time of surgery 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Need for conversion into open surgery

    Measured: During the operation, expected average time of surgery 1 hour

  2. Intraoperative complications

    Any complication during the operation e.g. hemorrhagic, liver, intestine or gallbladder rupture

    Measured: During the operation, expected average time of surgery 1 hour

  3. Complications, Clavien-Dindo classification

    Measured: 30 days after randomization

  4. Postoperative stay in hospital

    Measured: Expected range 0-7 day

  5. Bleeding

    Measured: During the operation, expected average time of surgery 1 hour

  6. Number of participants with readmission(s)

    Measured: 30 days after randomization

  7. Total need of opioids in milligrams

    Measured: Expected range 0-7 day

  8. Mortality

    Measured: 30 days after randomization

  9. Operation theatre time

    Measured: Expected average 1,5 hours

  10. Postoperative pain, VAS

    Measured: Expected range 0-7 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2D laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 3D laparoscopic cholecystectomy in people with Cholecystolithiasis, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 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 29 Aug 2017. 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 Finland. 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?

Duration of surgery (time frame: Expected average time of surgery 1 hour). 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 NCT02357589, 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 29 Aug 2017.
