Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patients are aged 18 to 45 years with BMI < 35 kg/m2 and that they exhibit a surgical indication for a presumed benign ovarian pathology (PBOP) according to RCOG Guideline no. 62. 2011:
  • simple ovarian cysts >7cm and <15cm.
  • Persistent simple cyst for more than 3 months.
  • Symptomatic patients with complicated cyst (e.g. hemorrhagic cyst, torsion, etc)

Who cannot join

  • • Previous midline laparotomies as suspected massive adhesions affecting intraoperative maneuvers and time.
  • Chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory diseases will be excluded to avoid pelvic adhesions and bias in the quantification of postoperative pain.
  • Do not possess a native umbilicus giving difficult access to single port.
  • The 'risk of malignancy index' (RMI) should be used to exclude those women at greater risk of malignancy. Using an RMI cut-off of 200, a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 90% can be achieved. if features suggestive of malignancy are encountered, a gynecological oncologist should be consulted regarding further evaluation and staging.
  • Benign teratomas for the difficulty of extraction after removal that affects the intraoperative maneuvers and time.
  • Contraindication to any laparoscopy like any medical condition worsened by pneumoperitoneum or the Trendelenburg position.
  • Contraindication to general anesthesia as all laparoscopic procedures are done under GA.
  • Contraindication to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, paracetamol, or tramadol.

About this study

Official title: Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery Versus Conventional Multi-port Laparoscopy in Presumed Benign Ovarian Cystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this work is to evaluate the postoperative consequences of laparoendoscopic single site surgery relative to conventional laparoscopy in presumed benign ovarian cyst.

The hypothesis is that single incision technique might offer advantages over the standard multi-port laparoscopy as potentially leading to less postoperative pain and improved cosmoses from a relatively hidden umbilical scar, as well as risk reduction of postoperative wound infection, hernia formation and elimination of multiple trocar site closure

Being tested
Laparoendoscpoic single site surgery LESS, Conventional multiport laparoscopy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoendoscpoic single site surgery LESSProcedure or surgery

    • A SILS Port (Covidien®) with three access inlets will be inserted into the abdominal cavity using a Heaney clamp
  • Conventional multiport laparoscopyProcedure or surgery

    • It will be performed using a three-port system using a closed technique on the umbilicus, left and right lower quadrant area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative pain

    The pain will be assessed by a numeric rating scale of 0-10

    Measured: at 24 hours ± 2 hour after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Operative time

    the time between the start of the incision up to the cutaneous closing of the trocar orifices

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. the need for conversion to laparotomy

    the need for conversion to laparotomy

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. the need to add an additional trocar

    the need to add an additional trocar

    Measured: intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoendoscpoic single site surgery LESS and Conventional multiport laparoscopy in people with Ovarian Cyst Benign, run by Ain Shams 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 4 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Postoperative pain (time frame: at 24 hours ± 2 hour after the intervention). 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 9 Mar 2021.
