About this study

Official title: Trendelenburg, Abdominal Insufflation and Time to Completion of Cystoscopy A Prospective Randomized Trial

Objective:

The investigators seek to compare the efficiency of the cystoscopy with two interventions:

  1. patient position during the cystoscopy (Trendelenburg (head down) or flat)
  2. Abdominal insufflation (insufflation versus no insufflation)
Read the detailed description

This is a randomized controlled trial assessing time to completion of cystoscopy in seconds after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

The investigators seek to compare the efficiency of the cystoscopy with two interventions:

  1. patient position during the cystoscopy (Trendelenburg (head down) or flat)
  2. Abdominal insufflation (insufflation versus no insufflation).

Both interventions are used as usual care and depend on surgeon preference without evidence why one would be faster at completing the cystoscopy. Also note that these two interventions are performed multiple times during the surgery itself and outside the cystoscopy procedure routinely. The investigator's main objective is to assess which intervention or combination of interventions is more efficient.

Being tested
Flat position, Trendelenburg position, Insufflation

What is being measured

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

  1. Time in Seconds to Complete the Cystourethroscopy

    Time in seconds to satisfactorily complete the cystourethroscopy (including visualization of the dome, the ureteral jets, the bladder mucosa, and the urethra).

    Measured: From the start of the cystoscopy to the completion of the cystoscopy (about 4 minutes)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Flat position, Trendelenburg position and Insufflation in people with Bladder Integrity and Bladder Function, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 24 Feb 2025. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time in Seconds to Complete the Cystourethroscopy (time frame: From the start of the cystoscopy to the completion of the cystoscopy (about 4 minutes)). 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 24 Feb 2025.
