Trial summary

Based on the data analysis of the General Surgery Department (Northern Department) of Ruijin Hospital from December 2013 to June 2021, we conducted a retrospective cohort study. Multivariate risk-adjusted cumulative sum analysis (RA-CUSUM) was used to evaluate the learning curve of single-incision laparoscopic surgery… Read more about this study

Study population: Patients who underwent single-incision radical resection of rectal or sigmoid colon tumors in the General Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital from December 2013 to June 2021

Who may be able to join

  • 1) Patients with indications for single-port laparoscopic surgery; 2) A single tumor was found during colonoscopy; 3) Preoperative biopsy confirmed by pathology as cancer or high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia; 4) The lesion is located in the lower segment of the sigmoid colon (20 cm to 25 cm from the proximal rectum), the junction of the sigmoid colon (16 cm to 20 cm from the proximal rectum), or the upper segment of the rectum (12 cm to 16 cm from the proximal rectum) [31-33]; 5) Intestinal anastomosis in vivo was performed through a tubular stapler.

Who cannot join

  • 1) Has undergone colorectal resection; 2) Preoperative CT assessment shows that the tumor stage is stage IV (as defined in the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) "Cancer Staging Manual"); 3) Intestinal anastomosis was performed in vitro or not; 4) Received neoadjuvant therapy; 5) ASA classification is III-IV (in accordance with the ASA standards of the American Society of Anesthesiologists); 6) Life expectancy is less than one year; 7) There is a history of cancers other than thyroid cancer.

About this study

Official title: The Influence of the Learning Curve on the Short-term and Long-term Efficacy of Single-incision Laparoscopic Rectal and Sigmoid Colon Surgery: An Observational Cohort Study

Based on the data analysis of the General Surgery Department (Northern Department) of Ruijin Hospital from December 2013 to June 2021, we conducted a retrospective cohort study. Multivariate risk-adjusted cumulative sum analysis (RA-CUSUM) was used to evaluate the learning curve of single-incision laparoscopic surgery performed by the same surgical team based on short-term surgical outcomes. Subsequently, by comparing the 5-year follow-up results of patients who received treatment at different stages of the learning curve, analyses of overall survival and progression-free survival were conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer and Colon Cancer, run by Ruijin Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Number of cases for the learning curve (time frame: week 4). 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 NCT07736131, 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 30 Jul 2026.
