About this study

Official title: Comparison of Postoperative Drain Insertion Versus No Drain Insertion In Patients Undergone Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

This prospective randomized controlled trial was planned to be conducted among total laparoscopic hysterectomies performed at Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital during one year period. The effect of drain insertion during the surgery will be assessed by this clinical trial. Patients will be assigned into two groups as cases and controls. Patients who will a drain inserted will be considered as case group and patients without a drain will be considered as control group. Patients will be evaluated according to their post operative VAS scores, hematocrit levels, their drainage volume and manifestation of an infection after the surgery.

Read the detailed description

This prospective randomized controlled trial was planned to be conducted from February 2020 to February 2021 and included total laparoscopic hysterectomies performed at Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital during the study period.

Surgeries on patients with existing comorbidity, with underlying malignant conditions, patients diagnosed deeply infiltrative endometriosis during surgery and patients who undergo multiple surgeries will be excluded from the study.

Clinical and descriptive data will be collected from both paper and electronic records, including the pain of the patient, the need for analgesia at the 6th-12th and 24th hour during the post-operative period. Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to track the pain progression of the patients. Intraabdominal bleeding will be determined by measuring the hematocrit levels and drainage volume at postoperative day 1. Patients will also be assessed according to manifesting an infection in both the short term and long term.

Patients who will a drain inserted will be considered as case group and patients without a drain will be considered as control group. Data will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). A Chi-squared test will be used to evaluate the significance of the associations between variables. Continuous variables will be displayed as means and standard deviations. A P value of ≤0.050 will be considered as significant.

This study obtained ethical approval from the Medical Research \& Ethics Committee of Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. analgesia need at the post-operative period

    patient need for analgesia during post operative first day

    Measured: post operative 6. hour

  2. hematocrit levels

    patient hematocrit level at post operative day 1

    Measured: post operative first day

  3. drainage volume

    drainage volume at postoperative day

    Measured: post operative first day

  4. post operative infection

    manifesting an post operative infection in short term and long term

    Measured: post operative first day and post operative 1. week

  5. pain post operative 6.-12. and 24. hour

    will be measured using VAS score

    Measured: pain

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. analgesia need at the post-operative 6. hour

    patient need for analgesia

    Measured: post-operative 6. hour

  2. analgesia need at the post-operative 12. hour

    patient need for analgesia

    Measured: post-operative 12. hour

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

analgesia need at the post-operative period (time frame: post operative 6. hour). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04285502, 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.

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 26 Feb 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
