About this study

Laparoscopic promontofixation is becoming increasingly common and is currently the standard surgical procedure for pelvic prolapse, with few complications including exposure and mesh infection.

The research hypothesis is that laparoscopic promontofixation is a relatively painless procedure and can be performed on an outpatient basis without increasing the number of postoperative complications and impairing patients' quality of life.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the number of rehospitalizations after management of promontofixation by laparoscopy on an outpatient basis.

To evaluate the feasibility of a postoperative H8 exit after laparoscopic promontofixation.

Each patient will complete a questionnaire on the experience of management, both in terms of pain management, anxiety and overall satisfaction.

  • questionnaireOther

    Each patient will complete a questionnaire on the experience of management, both in terms of pain management, anxiety and overall satisfaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of rehospitalizations occurring between outpatient discharge and postoperative follow-up consultation

    Rate of rehospitalizations occurring between outpatient discharge and postoperative

    Measured: 35 to 70 Days after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Exit rate at postoperative H8 according to post-anesthesia discharge scoring system score according to Chung.

    This score considers six criteria: vital signs, ambulation, nausea/vomiting, pain, bleeding and voiding. Each criterion is given a score ranging from 0 to 2. Only patients who achieve a score of 9 or more are considered ready for discharge.

    Measured: Hour 8 after the intervention

  2. Quality of life assessed by the Euroqol EQ-5D index (EuroQol five dimension scale)

    The EQ-5D questionnaire is made up for two components; health state description and evaluation. In description part, health status is measured in terms of five dimensions; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The respondents self-rate their level of severity for each dimension using three-level (3L) scale; having no problems, having some or moderate problems, being unable to do/having extreme problems. The respondents are asked to choose the statement which best describes their health status of surveyed day.

    In evaluation part, the respondents evaluate their overall health status using the visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). The patient is asked to mark health status on the day of the interview on a 20 cm vertical scale with end points of 0 and 100. There are notes at the both ends of the scale that the bottom rate (0) corresponds to "the worst health you can imagine", and the highest rate (100) corresponds to "the best health you can imagine".

    Measured: Day 0, 3, 7 and 30 after the intervention

  3. Assess the satisfaction of the patients by answering a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Assess the satisfaction of the patients by answering a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. It includes a satisfaction scale ranging from 0 to 10 and 2 closed-response questions, with the possibility of adding a free comment.

    Measured: Day 30 after the intervention

  4. Assess the postoperative anxiety by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form Y-A.

    Assess the postoperative anxiety by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form Y-A. This form has 20 items for assessing state anxiety. All items are rated on a 4-point scale. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

    Measured: Day 0, 1, 2, 3, 7 and 30 after the intervention

  5. Assess postoperative pain by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the consumption of analgesics.

    Assess postoperative pain by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the consumption of analgesics. This scale consists of a straight line with the endpoints defining extreme limits such as "no pain at all" and "pain as bad as it could be". The patient is asked to mark his pain level on the line between the two endpoints. The distance between "no pain at all" and the mark then defines the subject's pain.

    Measured: 8 hours after surgery (Day 0)/ At 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. (Day 1, 2 and 3)/ At 8 a.m. (Day 4, 5, 6, 7 and 30)

  6. Rates of postoperative complications

    Rates of postoperative complications

    Measured: 35 to 70 Days after the intervention

  7. Number of emergency consultations before scheduled postoperative follow-up consultation

    Number of emergency consultations before scheduled postoperative follow-up consultation

    Measured: 35 to 70 Days after the intervention

  8. Difference in actual costs and cost-effectiveness between conventional and outpatient care

    Collection of the PMSI (medical information system program) of the made act and the cost of the hospital stay in ambulatory for a laparoscopic promontofixation.

    Measured: 35 to 70 Days after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing outpatient management for promontofixation by laparoscopy and questionnaire in people with Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

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 13 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of rehospitalizations occurring between outpatient discharge and postoperative follow-up consultation (time frame: 35 to 70 Days after the intervention). 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 NCT03573752, 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.
