About this study
Official title: Three-dimensional High-definition (3DHD) Laparoscopy Versus Two-dimensional High-definition (2DHD) Laparoscopy in Inguinal Hernia Repair.
The aim of this study is to compare 3D-laparoscopy versus 2D-laparoscopy with the use of HD resolution in inguinal hernia repair in terms of error rating, performance time and subjective assessment.
Read the detailed description
Experimental studies have shown that even experienced surgeons gain from stereoscopy when solving both easy and complex tasks. Inguinal hernia repair is a specialist operation and the large flow makes this type of operation suitable for exploring any advantage of three-dimensional laparoscopy for the experienced surgeon.

Placebo
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 2D HD laparoscopy | Placebo comparator | Elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair performed with the use of Olympus ENDOEYE FLEX in the 2DHD viewing mode Receives: Device: 2D HD laparoscopy |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of errors during the dissection of the hernia sac
The unedited videos of the operations will be assessed according to GERT (Generic Error Rating Tool) by three surgeons, blinded to which optical modalities is used during the operations as done in a previous pilot study.
Measured: Expected duration: 20 minutes
Secondary outcomes (7)
Duration of the dissection of the hernia sac.
Measured: Expected duration: 20 minutes
Duration of surgery
Measured: Expected duration: 1 hour
The need for conversion to open surgery
Measured: intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour
Estimated blood loss in ml
Measured: intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour
Intraoperative complications
Measured: intraoperative, expected duration of surgery: 1 hour
Assessment of fatigue and perceived exertion
Subjective assessment. The surgeon will fill out questionnaires and scales
Measured: an expected average of 15 minutes before and after the operation
Evaluation of the optical modality and mental load assessment
Subjective assessment. The surgeon will fill out questionnaires and scales
Measured: an expected average of 15 minutes after the operation

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 3D HD laparoscopy and 2D HD laparoscopy in people with Hernia, Inguinal and Hernia, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.
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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2018. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Charlotte Fergo (charlotte.sayaka.fergo@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of errors during the dissection of the hernia sac (time frame: Expected duration: 20 minutes). 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 2 Mar 2018.
