About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Versus Robot-assisted Ventral Hernia Repair: The Immediate, Intermediate, and Long Term Outcome Differences. A Single Institution Randomized Controlled Trial

Randomized trial to compare outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic ventral hernia repair surgery.

Read the detailed description

Ventral hernia repair is a very common surgical operation. Both laparoscopic and robot-assisted operations are considered acceptable. However, there is no clear indication for a particular approach. No prospective trial has been conducted so far to establish superiority of one approach over the other. The Investigator believes each approach has unique characteristics and may offer advantages over the other in the right population group. The Investigator will randomly assign patients in two arms according to the surgical approach, whether laparoscopic or robot-assisted. The Investigator will collect preoperative characteristics, intraoperative variables, and postoperative outcomes. The Investigator will compare all variables to establish differences between the two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Operative time

    time from start to finish of procedure, procedure start and stop times as recorded by anesthesia

    Measured: perioperative time

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post operative pain score

    Abdominal pain at rest and on moving (recumbent to the upright position), will be assessed using 0-10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale preoperatively (baseline), and at 24 hours, 30 days, and one year postoperatively

    Measured: until year five post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic repair and robot-assisted repair in people with Ventral Hernia, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Operative time (time frame: perioperative time). 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 24 Jan 2019.
