About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term and long-term outcomes between natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) and totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH). The hypothesis is that NOSES could achieve good short-term and oncological outcomes for right colon cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

This study is a retrospective clinical study. We reviewed collected data from all patients who underwent laparoscopic curative resection for stage I-III right-sided colon cancer between January 2018 and January 2023. A total of consecutive 115 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection with transvaginal or transrectal specimen extraction were identified as the NOSES group. To establish a comparative cohort, 234 patients who underwent totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH) during the same period were selected. The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term and long-term outcomes between NOSES and TLRH. The hypothesis is that NOSES could promote postoperative recovery, reduce incision-related complications with comaprable long-term oncological outcomes when compared with TLRH.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal/transvaginal Specimen Extraction (NOSES)Procedure or surgery

    Transvaginal extraction, begins with the irrigation and disinfection of the vagina, followed by a transverse incision in the posterior fornix. The assistant then utilizes oval forceps to carefully extract the specimen bag through the incision, which is subsequently closed with continuous full-thickness sutures, using barbed sutures to ensure secure closure. Similarly, transrectal extraction begins with irrigation of the rectum using a dilute iodine solution, followed by a longitudinal incision along the anterior wall of the upper rectum. The specimen, along with the protective sleeve, is then removed using oval forceps, and the incision is closed with a continuous full-layer running suture once the specimen has been completely extracted.

  • Totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH)Procedure or surgery

    Totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH), which involves performing intracorporeal anastomosis and specimen extraction through a small abdominal incision, further enhances the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. In the TLRH group, following the stapled side-to-side anastomosis, a small horizontal incision is made about 2 to 3 cm above the symphysis pubis, at the junction of the pubic hairline, to allow for specimen removal.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal/transvaginal Specimen Extraction (NOSES)ExperimentalThe NOSES group employs two distinct methods for specimen extraction, both of which have been thoroughly outlined in previous studies. The first method, transvaginal extraction, begins with the irrigation and disinfection of the vagina, followed by a transverse incision in the posterior fornix. The assistant then utilizes oval forceps to carefully extract the specimen bag through the incision, which is subsequently closed with continuous full-thickness sutures, using barbed sutures to ensure secure closure. The second method, transrectal extraction, similarly begins with irrigation of the rectum using a dilute iodine solution, followed by a longitudinal incision along the anterior wall of the upper rectum. The specimen, along with the protective sleeve, is then removed using oval forceps, and the incision is closed with a continuous full-layer running suture once the specimen has been completely extracted.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of postoperative complications

    The rate of postoperative complications = patients with any postoperative complications/all cases.

    Measured: up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Operating time

    Operating time = The Operative time was defined as the time first skin incision was made to final skin closure

    Measured: up to 1 days

  2. The time of first flatus

    The time of first flatus = The time of first flatus reported by patients

    Measured: up to 5 days

  3. Postoperative hospitalization

    Postoperative hospitalization = the number of nights from surgery to discharge

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy With Transrectal/transvaginal Specimen Extraction (NOSES) and Totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH) in people with Colon Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, China 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 31 Dec 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 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?

The rate of postoperative complications (time frame: up to 30 days). 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 NCT06753968, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Dec 2024.
