What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EinsteinVision 3D visualization systemDevice

    Elective laparoscopic radical prostatectomy due to histologically proven prostate cancer using EinsteinVision® 3D visualization system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time needed to perform the vesicourethral anastomosis using EinsteinVision® in a group of different surgeons [min. sec.]

    learning curve of different surgeons with diverse level of experience using EinsteinVision® 3D visualization system

    Measured: Intraoperatively

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Intraoperative blood loss [ml]

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  2. Intraoperative blood transfusions [quantity]

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  3. Postoperative blood transfusions [quantity]

    Measured: Postoperatively

  4. Intraoperative incidence of complications [percentage]

    (e.g. bleedings, Trauma of ureter)

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  5. Postoperative incidence of complications [percentage]

    (e.g. Ileus, venous thrombo-embolic events, wound infection, bleedings)

    Measured: During stay in Hospital (5-12 days postoperatively)

  6. Surgeon's experience with different operation methods and application systems

    using a questionnaire at the beginning (First Patient In) and the end of the study (Last Patient In)

    Measured: After first intervention for each hospital and after study completion, an average of 1 year later

  7. Patient's quality of life

    Pre- and postoperative patient's quality of life using the questionnaire EQ-5D-5L

    The following dimensions are assessed:

    • Mobility
    • Self-care
    • Usual activities
    • Pain / discomfort
    • Anxiety / depression
    • Health

    Measured: Preoperatively, 5-12 days postoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively

  8. Operation time [min.]

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  9. Intraoperative usability of the device

    using a questionnaire containing different dimensions and a 5-point assessment level (Likert Scale: 1 = excellent, 5 = unacceptable).

    The following dimensions are assessed:

    • Control
    • Expenditure of energy
    • Image quality
    • Overall satisfaction

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  10. Incontinence after catheterization [percentage]

    Measured: During stay in Hospital (5-12 days postoperatively)

  11. Postoperative hospital stay [days]

    Measured: During stay in Hospital (5-12 days postoperatively)

  12. Return to erectile function [percentage]

    Measured: 12 months

  13. Return to continence function [percentage]

    Measured: 12 months

  14. Incontinence pads/pants per day [quantity]

    Measured: 5-12 days postoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively

  15. Postoperative patient satisfaction

    using a 10-point assessment level (1 = completely dissatisfied, 10 = completely satisfied)

    Measured: 5-12 days postoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Carcinoma, run by Aesculap AG at 2 sites in Germany.

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 5 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 13 Jan 2021. 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 Germany. 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?

Time needed to perform the vesicourethral anastomosis using EinsteinVision® in a group of different surgeons [min. sec.] (time frame: Intraoperatively). 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 13 Jan 2021.
