About this study

Official title: Percutaneous Laparoscopy for Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation: a Single-center Experience.

To compare surgical outcomes of oncologic patients that underwent conventional laparoscopy and percutaneous laparoscopy for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous laparoscopy for the ovarian tissue explant in oncologic women. Surgical outcomes of patients that underwent percutaneous laparoscopy were compared with those of women that underwent conventional laparoscopy. Data from 2017 to 2021 were collected in a single Oncologic Center in Italy. The principal outcomes considered are post-operative pain, recovery time and aesthetic outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative pain

    Post-operative pain is evaluated with VAS score ranging from 1 to 10 (higher score, maximum pain)

    Measured: 0-1 and 2 days after surgery

  2. Aesthetic outcomes

    General satisfaction regarding aesthetic outcomes is collected with a satisfaction survey. The score ranged from 1 to 5, with 1 indicating "very dissatisfied" and 5 "very satisfied".

    Measured: minimum 3 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Recovery time

    Time from surgical intervention to discharge in days

    Measured: Days

  2. Operative time

    Time of operation in minutes

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Blood loss

    Entity of blood loss during surgery in ml

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Surgical complications

    The presence of absence of intra and post-operative complications (yes or not and type)

    Measured: 30 days

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?

Post-operative pain (time frame: 0-1 and 2 days after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05134090, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
