About this study

Official title: The Impact of Bipolar Energy Modalities on Peri-operative Outcome During Laparoscopic Staging Surgery of Gynecologic Cancers: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This single-institution prospective randomized clinical trial will be performed at the Gynecologic Oncology clinic of Ankara University. Patients with endometrial cancer and cervix cancer who will be operated for staging via laparoscopic approach will be included in the study. The included patients will be randomized to two groups before surgery. During the operation of first group instruments with advanced bipolar energy will be used during lymphadenectomy and hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. In the second group the operation will be performed by conventional bipolar energy forceps. The outcome parameters to be measured are intra-operative bleeding, duration of operation, intraoperative complications, postoperative pain score, postoperative complications, postoperative duration of hospitalization, late complications such as lymphocele formation and costs.

Being tested
Ligasure-Covidien, RoBi forceps-Karl Storz

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ligasure-Covidien and RoBi forceps-Karl Storz in people with Perioperative Period, run by Ankara University 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 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Duration of operation (time frame: six months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02822820, 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 25 Apr 2017.
