About this study

The aim of this study is to assess:

  1. Evaluation of the feasibility of laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy type III/C1 as regard surgical technique, blood loss and operative time.
  2. Evaluate patients' outcome as regard bladder function. in order to preserve the function of the bladder and the rectum, it is necessary to modify the traditional procedures, so as to identify the precise anatomical information directing the technique for optimal preservation of bladder function at the time of radical hysterectomy.

The laparoscopic technique offers several well-known advantages. Under the magnified view of the laparoscope, the anatomy can be clearly visualized to allow for the meticulous and precise dissection of the para-cervical structures and areolar tissue, including the blood vessels and the nerves.

Laparoscopic identification (neurolysis) of the inferior hypogastric nerve and inferior hypogastric plexus is a feasible procedure for trained laparoscopic surgeons who have a good knowledge not only of the retroperitoneal anatomy but also of the pelvic neuro-anatomy as this qualification could prohibit long-term bladder and voiding dysfunction during nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional outcome of laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy type III/C1

    Duration of postoperative catheterization untill PVR urine volume is less than 100 ml

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Intraoperative complications

    intraoperative complications

    Measured: During Surgery

  2. Blood loss

    Amount of blood intraoperative blood loss in ml. units

    Measured: Day of surgery

  3. Operative time

    Minutes for the surgical intervention

    Measured: Day of surgery

  4. Early postoperative complication

    Occurence of early postoperative complication within 30 days of operation

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Late postoperative complication

    complications related to surgery more than 30 days postoperative

    Measured: more than 30 days postoperative

  6. Bladder training exercise

    Removal of urinary catheter on the 3rd day postoperative without prior bladder training exercise and measurement of PVR urine volume

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy-type III/C1 and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (type III/C2). in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Osama Mohammad Ali ElDamshety at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 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 2 sites in Egypt, Italy. 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?

Functional outcome of laparoscopic nerve sparing radical hysterectomy type III/C1 (time frame: 1 month). 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 6 Mar 2018.
