Trial summary

Cancer patients have an increased risk of perioperative complications undergoing surgery procedures. Postoperative complications caused by thrombembolic events after robot- assisted surgery in major urological procedures have been reported and associated with an increased lenght of stay in the hospital.

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Arterial or Venous Thrombembolism After Robot- Assisted Surgery in Major Urological Procedures is in Some Cases a Severe Complication.

Cancer patients have an increased risk of perioperative complications undergoing surgery procedures. Postoperative complications caused by thrombembolic events after robot- assisted surgery in major urological procedures have been reported and associated with an increased lenght of stay in the hospital. We therefore aimed to investigate in a retrospective analysis 250 patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and prostatectomy procedures for risk factors for thrombembolic events in this specific patient population.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative arterial or venous thrombembolism after robotic- assisted surgery in major urological procedures are reported severe complications in this patient population.

After having studied the available literature on this particular topic the investigators have decided to prepare a retrospective analysis of approximately 250 robot- assisted radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy surgical procedures. In due consideration of perioperative prophylaxis of thrombembolic Events we determine the clinical and radiological signs of venous or arterial thrombembolism postoperatively with a particular focus on early postoperative pulmonary embolism events.

This is a retrospective analysis of 250 robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy surgical procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urologic Cancer and Thrombosis, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2021. 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 Germany. 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. 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?

Contact Jochen Renner, Prof. Dr. (004943150020801, jochen.renner@uksh.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative thrombembolism (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT04796740, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 15 Mar 2021.
