Read the detailed description

Between July 2010 and August 2016, 214 patients underwent MIE (thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy) for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the Thoracic Department, The Second Hospital of Shandong University. Eight of these 214 patients were converted to thoracotomy or laparotomy, one patient was unable to tolerate single-lung ventilation due to a history of left upper lobectomy, and the other seven patients were due to bleeding controlling. Among the 214 patients enrolled, there were 182 males and 32 females in the MIE group. A total of 170 patients underwent oesophagectomy by open thoracotomy from August 2014 to August 2016, and these patients were defined as the open group. The data from the patients in the open group were compared with those of the patients who underwent thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy during the same clinical period. All patients were preoperatively diagnosed with oesophageal cancer by endoscopy and biopsy, with routine thoracic and abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans and endoscopic ultrasonography to evaluate the clinical TNM stage. The operations were performed by a single surgical team. This study was approved by the ethics committee and Medical Administration Division of the Second Hospital of Shandong University. Written informed consent was obtained from each of the enrolled patients. All methods performed in the investigator's study were conducted in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Minimally Invasive Surgery, run by The Second Hospital of Shandong University.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

bleeding volume (time frame: Between July 2010 and August 2016). The study lists 5 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 20 Dec 2019.
