About this study

Robotic surgery for common surgical procedures is on the rise despite limited evidence to support its clinical benefit. We intend to to map and characterize the prevalence of the patients'expectation that robotic surgery might be superior to open or laparoscopic procedures and to identify the sociodemographic, clinical and organisational factors associated with this expectation.

Read the detailed description

With the progress of modern medicine, minimally invasive surgical technology has become the main theme in the field of contemporary surgery. As a rising star, the Da Vinci robotic surgery system provides surgeons with a more comprehensive surgical vision, more flexible instrument control, finer anatomy, and more natural comfort compared to open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. However, due to the lack of long-term theoretical basis, the evidence to support its clinical benefits is limited, and its application is limited by related postoperative complications and high operation-related costs. At present, the number of Da Vinci robotic surgery is steadily increasing around the world, but what are the expectations of patients that robotic surgery may be better than open or laparoscopic surgery? It is also unclear what reasons are related to this established expectation. Therefore, we intend to map and characterize the prevalence of the patients' expectation that robotic surgery might be superior to open or laparoscopic procedures and to identify the sociodemographic, clinical and organisational factors associated with this expectation.

What participants receive

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

  • da Vinci Surgical SystemsDevice

    The da Vinci Surgical Systems enable surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few small incisions with robotic assisted surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Factors Associated With Patients' Decisions Factors Associated With Patients'Decisions to Choose Robotic Surgery

    Factors Associated With Patients'Trends in the Adoption of Robotic Surgery for Common Surgical Procedures。According to the relevant regulations of the hospital inpatient satisfaction survey, we have developed a satisfaction rating scale, the evaluation is divided into five grades: "very satisfied" = 5, "relatively satisfied" = 4, "general" = 3, "not very satisfied" = 2, "very dissatisfied" = 1, the total score is 1-5.

    Measured: 2021.4-2022.4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Social demographic characteristics

    Age, Sex, Education, Occupation

    Measured: 2021.4-2022.4

  2. Economic status

    The ability to pay for medical expenses and the type of medical insurance.Based on the types of medical insurance in China, our survey design is divided into four categories: 1. China new rural cooperative medical system; 2. The medical insurance for urban residents; 3. The medical insurance for urban workers; 4. Commercial insurance. According to China's national income level, our survey design is divided into three stages: personal annual income below 50,000 RMB, 50,000-100,000 RMB, and more than 100,000 RMB.

    Measured: 2021.4-2022.4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer and Robotic Surgery, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 28 Apr 2022. 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 China. 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 Yong Zhang, DR (008685324610, yongzhang761@mail.xjtu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Factors Associated With Patients' Decisions Factors Associated With Patients'Decisions to Choose Robotic Surgery (time frame: 2021.4-2022.4). 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 28 Apr 2022.
