About this study

One challenge of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is to reduce operative blood loss. Partial nephrectomy (PN) is a complex surgery that is being made easier by robotic assistance. In this study, we determined whether the use of hemostatic clips during the tumor resection step reduced blood loss during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Methods: In this retrospective study, we included all consecutive patients who underwent RAPN in our university hospital from 2017 to 2019. Three experienced surgeons performed the surgery. One surgeon used Hemo-lock hemostatic clips during tumor resection to prevent bleeding, and two did not. Blood loss in the two groups was compared as the primary endpoint. The duration of clamping, operative time, complications, surgical margins, transfusions, serum creatinine and hemoglobin were compared as secondary endpoints. Results: 53 patients were included, 36 in the No-clip group and 17 in the Clip group. Our two groups were comparable for age, weight, Charlson score, tumor size and RENAL score. There was a significant difference between the two groups for median blood loss 50 mL in the Clip group versus 300 mL in the No-clip group (p = 0.0001), whereas median operating time was shorter in the No-clip group, 140 min versus 180 min for the Clip group (p = 0.044). No other criterion showed a significant difference. The use of Hemo-lock during the tumor resection step in RAPN reduced blood loss without impairing renal function. Larger studies are still needed to confirm our findings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood loss in the two groups was compared

    It was mesured during the surgery by amount of blood drawn

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. operative time

    duration from the begining to the end of the surgery

    Measured: 3 years

  2. duration of clamping

    time between the clips set and remove during the surgery for patient of clip group

    Measured: 3 years

  3. incidence of complications

    rate of complication after surgery

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cancer and Kidney Cancer, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Blood loss in the two groups was compared (time frame: 3 years). 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 14 May 2020.
