Clinical Trial Summary

Robotic-assisted surgery is becoming more prominent within the specialty of Gynecologic surgery with little direct evidence that it is if not better than traditional laparoscopic surgery, at least equivalent. We designed a randomized-controlled trial to compare operative times, length of hospital stay, estimated blood loss, and post-operative complications associated with these two methods of minimally invasive hysterectomy.


Clinical Trial Description

The proposed study will be a non-blinded randomized control trial. Patients will be randomized into each group Conventional Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Group #1) and Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Group #2) using a random number generator. Data collection will occur during the following points of patient interaction: pre-operative appointment, the surgical procedure, the patient's hospitalization, first post-operative appointment, and final post-operative appointment.

The care for the patients enrolled in this study will not deviate from the standard care of patients who are currently undergoing laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. The patients who present to the office for pre-operative history and physical examination for laparoscopic hysterectomy will be counseled about participation in this study. Basic data collection will commence at the pre-operative visiting, including: patient demographics, past medical history, past surgical history, physical exam findings, and imaging results. The pre-operative appointment will occur between one to thirty days prior to surgery. Intra-operative and immediate post-operative data will be collected by the surgical assistant (resident or fellow) and will include surgical procedure (conventional laparoscopic or robot-assisted), operative time, hematocrit, estimated blood loss, length of stay, and complications. ;
