About this study

This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, observational clinical trial at the Department of Women's Health of the University Clinic Tübingen. Four hundred patients affected by uterine diseases that undergo treatment with robotic assisted laparoscopic procedures using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System (200 patients) or conventional laparoscopic surgery (200 patients) will be recruited. In addition retrospective data of 200 patients that underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery in the past will be documented. At the end of patient recruitment, surgical procedure times, the technical limits encountered, estimated blood loss, intra- and post-operative complications and the percentage of conversions from the robotic assisted treatment /conventional laparoscopic surgery to multiple access and/or to a laparotomic (open) approach will be documented.

What is being measured

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

  1. operative time

    (minutes from first incision to skin closure)

    Measured: 60 minutes

  2. time under narcosis

    Measured: 60 minutes

  3. console time

    Measured: 60 minutes

  4. estimated blood loss (milliliters)

    using the following formula: ((Hemoglobin concentration preoperative (g/l)) - (Hemoglobin 1st day postoperative (g/l)))/((Hemoglobin preoperative (g/l)) - (Hemoglobin 1st day postoperative (g/l)))/2) × 1000

    Measured: 60 minutes

  5. conversion to other surgical procedures

    Measured: 60 minutes

  6. time to discharge

    Measured: 60 minutes

  7. intraoperative complications

    occurring during the surgical procedure

    Measured: 60 minutes

  8. perioperative complications

    occurring less than 24h after the surgical procedure, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications

    Measured: 24 hours

  9. postoperative complications

    occurring more than 24h after the surgical procedure up to 6 months after surgical procedure, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications

    Measured: 6 months

  10. German version of the Short Form-36health survey questionnaire Medical Outcomes Trust

    Medical Outcomes Trust: SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting.

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  11. German version of the female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire

    female sexual function index: a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Uterine Diseases, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 16 May 2024. 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 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?

operative time (time frame: 60 minutes). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 May 2024.
