About this study

Review of surgical outcomes of patient who have undergone surgery for uterovaginal anomalies. Case notes of patients would be reviewed and data would be gathered for statistical analysis.

Read the detailed description

Uterovaginal anomalies are congenital malformations of the female reproductive tract, including hymenal, vaginal, cervical and uterine anomalies. The incidence could be as high as 7% in females1. These anomalies can occur alone or in association with other anomalies such as renal anomalies.

There could be variable consequences from these malformations, some are asymptomatic while some may have various symptoms.

It is important to be aware that obstructive uterovaginal anomalies, examples including imperforated hymen and obstructive hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (also known as OHVIRA), may present after puberty, with symptoms including amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain etc. These are conditions that should be managed. Patient may require interventions. Surgery is the principal management for obstructive anomalies, dependent on the types of obstruction. Types of surgeries ranges from simple surgical procedures to complex surgeries that require multidisciplinary input.

Post-operatively patients should be offered follow up for monitoring in view of the risk of stenosis that may require ongoing dilation or additional surgical management.

There are limited studies on the post-operative outcomes for uterovaginal anomalies, so this study aims at reviewing and comparing the different outcomes after initial surgery.

This is a retrospective observational study. Electronic and paper clinical records of all patients who attended the Prince of Wales Hospital, Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital and North District Hospital with the diagnosis of uterovaginal anomaly will be reviewed, data collected will be input and analyzed using different statistical analysis tools. Data between 1.1.2000 and 31.12.2023 will be reviewed retrospectively. No human subject will be recruited.

The aim of the study is to reviewing and comparing the different outcomes after surgery for patients who had uterovaginal anomalies

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of re-stenosis

    Patient record will be reviewed. Number of patients need re-stenosis after surgical treatment for obstructive uterovaginal anomalies will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  2. Incidence of re-operation

    Patient record will be reviewed. Number of patients need re-operation after surgical treatment for obstructive uterovaginal anomalies will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  3. Number of patients with normal menstruation after operation

    Menstruation status will be reviewed in post-operation follow up. Number of patients with normal menstruation after surgical treatment for obstructive uterovaginal anomalies will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  4. Number of patients with sexual intercourse after operation

    Sexual status will be asked in post-operation follow up. Number of patients with sexual intercourse after surgical treatment for obstructive uterovaginal anomalies will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  5. Number of patients with post-operative infection

    Patient record will be reviewed. Number of patients with post-operative infection will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  6. Number of patients with pregnancy after operation

    Pregnancy status will be reviewed. Number of patients with ultrasound confirmed pregnancy after operation will be counted.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Background demographics affecting post-operative outcomes for patients with uterovaginal anomalies

    Background demographics including age at diagnosis, age at operation, difference in age between menarche and diagnosis/ operation, history of previous abdominal or reproductive tract surgery, menstrual cycle will be reviewed.

    Categorical data will be analyzed with Chi square or Fisher's exact test. Continuous data will be analyzed with t test and ANOVA test. The significance level is set at 0.05.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

  2. Number of participants with Pre-operative factors affecting post-operative outcomes

    Pre-operative factors including presentation at diagnosis, laterality of hematocolpos, thickness and size of septum, distance of septum to perineum, obstructed longitudinal septum axis and the type of renal anomaly will be reviewed.

    Categorical data will be analyzed with Chi square or Fisher's exact test. Continuous data will be analyzed with t test and ANOVA test. The significance level is set at 0.05.

    Measured: 1 year after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abnormalities Uterine and Vaginal Abnormality, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of re-stenosis (time frame: 1 year after operation). The study lists 6 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 3 May 2024.
