About this study
Official title: Prospective Observational Cohort Study of Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Hernia Umbilical Hernia Repair (rTARUP)
The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic assisted surgery for the treatment of incisional hernia's of 40 patients treated in Maria Middelares in laparoscopic rTARUP technique.
Read the detailed description
Minimally invasive hernia repair by laparoscopy is the standard treatment in adult patients with an umbilical hernia larger than 2 cm in Maria Middelares, Ghent.
As previously described in a chapter in a surgical guide and in a review article on the surgical fixation technique for laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair, the used technique has been proven feasible end safe.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has become standard in urology for resection of the prostate carcinoma. In general abdominal surgery, a large group of surgeons are currently working on the introduction of robotic-assisted surgery for resection of colon and rectal cancer in their daily practice. The third generation robot (DaVinci Xi), has extended the applicability of this technology within the field of general surgery.
For the surgical treatment of hernia's and other abdominal wall defects (umbilical or/and incisional hernia's), currently only surgeons in the US have experiences in structured treatment programs.
From September 1, 2016 Maria Middelares hospital will introduce robot-assisted surgery, including the laparoscopic TARUP umbilical hernia repair.
Main obstacles to the introduction of robot technology in abdominal wall surgery are prolonged preparation time in the operating room required for installation of the robot, and higher material costs related to the robot-assisted surgery. However, there are few precise data available on the exact size of extra time or increased costs related to the introduction of robotic assisted surgery in a program for abdominal surgery.
The purpose of this study is the measurement of the evolution of the operation time during the start-up phase of robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of umbilical hernias by 40 patients in Maria Middelares hospital.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 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 Belgium. 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: from the start of the operation until the end of the operation, approximately 4 hours). 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 NCT02975414, 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 24 Dec 2018.
