Study population: This retrospective study involved patients diagnosed with primary splenic hydatid cysts, from January 2015 to June 2021. The study included medical records of 18 patients aged 14 years or older, diagnosed exclusively with primary, non-recurrent splenic hydatid cysts. Exclusion criteria encompassed individuals under 14 years, patients in late pregnancy, those with recurrent cysts, extra-splenic involvement, or less than two years of postoperative follow-up.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (age 14 years or older).
  • Diagnosed exclusively with primary, non-recurrent splenic hydatid cysts.

Who cannot join

  • Children under 14 years of age.
  • Patients in late pregnancy.
  • Individuals with recurrent cysts.
  • Cases with extra-splenic involvement.
  • Patients with less than two years of postoperative follow-up.

About this study

Official title: Minimally Invasive Spleen Preserving Surgery to Treat Primary Splenic Hydatidosis: Short and Long Term Outcomes: A Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study examines the effectiveness of minimally invasive spleen-preserving surgeries compared to total splenectomy for treating primary splenic hydatidosis in Jordan. Covering 18 patients from January 2015 to June 2021, the research highlights similar recurrence rates between both surgical approaches, emphasizing the benefits of spleen preservation in maintaining immune function and reducing septic risks, particularly in pediatric patients.

Read the detailed description

The study delves into a detailed analysis of 18 cases of primary splenic hydatid cysts treated through spleen-preserving surgeries-laparoscopic partial splenectomy, cystectomy, and cyst deroofing-augmented by albendazole therapy. It presents a comprehensive comparison based on patient demographics, symptoms, surgical details, and outcomes, including complications and recurrence rates. Findings reveal no significant statistical difference in recurrence rates between spleen-preserving methods and total splenectomy, suggesting the viability of less invasive approaches for managing this condition effectively while preserving spleen functionality and minimizing post-operative complications. The study underlines the need for individualized treatment plans and further research with larger cohorts.

What participants receive

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

  • Minimally Invasive SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Minimally Invasive Surgery : Laparoscopic partial splenectomy, cystectomy, and cyst deroofing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Postoperative Short-Term Complications

    The measure focuses on the incidence and nature of short-term complications following spleen-preserving surgeries compared to total splenectomy. Short-term complications may include infection, bleeding, or any other immediate post-surgical issues that impact recovery.

    Measured: Up to 1 month post-operation

  2. Incidence of Postoperative Long-Term Complications

    This measure assesses the long-term complications associated with spleen-preserving surgeries versus total splenectomy. Specifically, it examines the recurrence of hydatid cysts as a significant long-term complication.

    Measured: Up to 2 years post-operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spleen-Preserving Surgery and Echinococcus Granulosus Infection, run by Yarmouk University at 1 site in Jordan.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 4 Mar 2024. 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 Jordan. 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?

Incidence of Postoperative Short-Term Complications (time frame: Up to 1 month post-operation). 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?
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 4 Mar 2024.
