Trial summary

Traditionally, laparoscopy has been based on 2-dimensional (2D) imaging, which has represented a considerable challenge for those approaching this technique. Thus, 3-dimensional (3D) visualization technology for laparoscopy has been proposed, since the early 1990s, as a way to facilitate laparoscopic performance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation and Verification of 3 Dimensional Laparoscopic System in Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy & Splenectomy

Traditionally, laparoscopy has been based on 2-dimensional (2D) imaging, which has represented a considerable challenge for those approaching this technique. Thus, 3-dimensional (3D) visualization technology for laparoscopy has been proposed, since the early 1990s, as a way to facilitate laparoscopic performance. However, early 3D laparoscopic technology was limited in terms of image quality, so that its use had not been implemented. More recently, industry has developed novel 3D systems where the imaging is similar to stereoscopic vision, in which the depth perception is achieved by different unique images received by each eye. Thus, more recent studies have suggested a possible advantage provided by these new 3D systems during laparoscopic performance. However, comparative assessments of new generation 3D vs 2D laparoscopy remain limited, especially in the hepatobiliary and pancreatic field.

To assess the benefits and harms of use of three dimensional systems versus two dimensional systems during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.

Procedures

  1. the investigators will take the patient consent for this clinical trial.
  2. The participants will be divided with two groups with block randomized method
  3. Skillful pancreatic surgeon will perform 2D or 3D laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
  4. The participants will be monitor the intraoperative and postoperative course.

Data collection

  1. operation video : operation time, number of errors (missed grasp, loss of material)
  2. Segmental operation time according to procedure
  3. Numbers of errors during operation
  4. clinical parameters:
  5. Blood examination : complete blood count (hemoglobin, white blood cell count), amylase, lipase, etc.
  6. Radiological examination: X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), etc
  7. Medical records : hospital stay after operation, the time to eating, pathologic examination
  8. Subjective scoring in the view of operator, 1st assist.
  9. Scoring for imaging quality
  10. Scoring for harms of 3D/2D laparoscopic system
  11. Scoring for overall demand
Being tested
3-dimensional distal pancreatectomy, 2-dimensional distal pancreatectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Operation time

    The unedited videos of the operations will be assessed from start to end of the operation by two clinicians. The average of operation time will be compare according to 2D versus 3D laparoscopic system.

    Measured: expected duration: 200mins (for each operation)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Numbers of errors during operation

    The investigators will check the error number of operator during operation with review the video record of the operation

    Measured: During operation (expected duration: 200mins)

  2. Subjective scoring in the view of operator, 1st assist

    The investigators will check the subjective scoring of operator and 1st assist during operation. For example, depth perception, sharpness, visual strain, headache, etc.

    Measured: During operation (expected duration: 200mins)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 3-dimensional distal pancreatectomy and 2-dimensional distal pancreatectomy in people with Benign Neoplasm of Body of Pancreas and Benign Neoplasm of Tail of Pancreas, run by Asan Medical Center.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 2 May 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Operation time (time frame: expected duration: 200mins (for each operation)). 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 May 2016.
