Trial summary

BACKGROUND: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy leads to a high urinary retention rate and fluid restriction is commonly recommended to minimize complications. However, the need for postoperative fluid restriction among patients who have undergone stapled hemorrhoidopexy is unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Do We Need Fluid Restriction After Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy? A Pilot, Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy leads to a high urinary retention rate and fluid restriction is commonly recommended to minimize complications. However, the need for postoperative fluid restriction among patients who have undergone stapled hemorrhoidopexy is unclear. We aimed to determine whether fluid restriction after stapled hemorrhoidopexy with/without partial external hemorrhoidectomy could reduce urinary retention and postoperative pain.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, we enrolled patients who had grade III or IV hemorrhoids and underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy with/without partial external hemorrhoidectomy; 250 mL/12 h of sterile 0.9% saline was administered to the fluid restriction group after the operation, and 1000 mL/12 h was given to the non-fluid-restriction group. We focused on the need for fluid restriction after stapled hemorrhoidopexy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1000 mL 0.9% sterile saline and 250 mL 0.9% sterile saline in people with Fluid Restriction, run by Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH) at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 7 Jul 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

first urination (time frame: 1 day). 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 7 Jul 2020.
