About this study

Official title: Accelerated Learning Curve in Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Resection, a New Surgical Robot Micro Hand S Versus da Vinci, Can be Attained Simultaneously: a Single Center Experience

Central South University in collaboration with Tianjin University developed the first domestically produced Chinese minimally invasive surgical (MIS) robot system which named "Micro Hand S" in 2013. This new MIS robot had been authorized to enter the clinical trial stage by the Ethics Committee of the Third Xiangya Hospital at Central South University. The Micro Hand S robot is safe and feasible in the preliminary study. However, the learning curve in low anterior resection for rectal resection with the Micro Hand S robot are unclear and whether the two surgical robots (Micro Hand S and da Vinci) shared a similar learning curve and the two robot can be trained simultaneously. Therefore, the investigators conduct this retrospective study to focus on this concern.

Read the detailed description

The Micro Hand S robor has been appiled in low anterior resection for rectal cancer. The safey and feasibility has been evaluated. However, the learning curve of this procedure is unclear. Specially,whether the two surgical robots (Micro Hand S and da Vinci) shared a similar learning curve and the two robot can be trained simultaneously are unclear.Therefore, this srudy is conducted to evaluate the learning curve of the two robots in low anterior resection.

  5. Conversion

    Conversion was defined as any change in strategy to open surgery

    Measured: up to 1 week after operation

  6. Bloos loss (ml)

    It was defined as the amount of blood in the whole surgical time

    Measured: up to 1 week after operation

  7. Hospital stay (day)

    It was defined as the length of hospital stay

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  8. Protective ileostomy

    It was defined as ileostomy which diverted the feces to to ensure anastomotic healing

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  9. Retrieved lymph node

    It was defined as the number of all the lymph nodes for each patient

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  10. Surgical failure

    Surgical failure was defined as the presence of one or more of the following four parameters: conversion, the positive surgical margins, severe postoperative complications, the number of harvested lymph nodes less than 12

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  11. pTNM stage

    It was defined as the pathological stage of the tumor according the TNM classification

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  12. Tumor size (cm)

    It was defined as the longitudinal diameter of the tumor

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  13. Length of distal ressction margin (cm)

    It was defined as the distance betwen the distal resection margin and the low margin of the tumor

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  14. Status of the surgical margin

    It was defined as whether the distal and circumferential resection margins was involved the tumor cell under microscope

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  15. Quality of specimen

    The quality of the speciman was graded according to the protocol proposed by Quirke

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  16. Postoperative complication

    It was defined as the adverse events after operation and the complications were classfied according to the Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification

    Measured: up to 1 month after operation

  17. Local recurrence

    It was defined as the tumor was again found in the pelvic cavity

    Measured: at least 1 years after operation

  18. Disease free survival

    It was defined as the duration between the operation and date of the tumor recurrence

    Measured: at least 1 years after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Micro Hand S robot and da Vinci robot and da Vinci robot in people with Rectal Cancer, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South 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 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 22 Apr 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 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?

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?

learning curve of console time (time frame: up to 1 week after operation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Apr 2021.
