Trial summary

Although a condition for surgery, robotic interventions applied with steep Trendelenburg-lithotomy (ST-L) position may cause positional injury and peripheral neuropathy if good position is not achieved on the operating table. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Robot Assisted Radical Prostatecomy and Positional Injury; 8 Years Survey

Although a condition for surgery, robotic interventions applied with steep Trendelenburg-lithotomy (ST-L) position may cause positional injury and peripheral neuropathy if good position is not achieved on the operating table. This study will be a 7-year retrospective examination of postoperative positional injury (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate diagnosis.

Read the detailed description

Patients who underwent RARP between 2008-2014 will be evaluate. Patients with known peripheral neuropathy, lumbar-cervical discopathy, or history of orthopaedic surgery or trauma will exclude. The demographic data of patients, ASA, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CMI), Body Mass Index (BMI), operating time (OT) and Trendelenburg time (TT) will obtain from patient records. Patients will be questioned as to whether or not PPI had developed, if so, in which extremity, in what form (sensory-motor), duration, whether or not a doctor had been consulted, if so, what treatment had been given and whether or not the PPI had continued.

What is being measured

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

  1. retrospective examination of postoperative positional injury (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate diagnosis

    The ST-L position carries high risk in terms of PPI, especially when lengthy surgery is planned and the risk could be increased in patients with high BMI.

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Nerve Injuries, run by Umraniye Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 8 Dec 2015. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

retrospective examination of postoperative positional injury (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate diagnosis (time frame: 7 years). 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 NCT02437695, 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 8 Dec 2015.
