KeyScope Study in Uganda

Abdominal Neoplasm Clinical Trial

Official title: KeyScope: First-In-Human Clinical Study for Cancer Diagnosis in Uganda

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

KeyScope and KeyLoop (collectively called KeySuite) are laparoscopic prototypes that the investigators have designed for the resources, needs and challenges of low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). KeyScope is a laparoscope that plugs into a laptop computer to display images during surgery. It links to a telementoring application so that experienced surgeons can mentor surgeons in capacity-building partnerships. KeyLoop is a laparoscopic retractor that lifts the abdominal wall during surgery, obviating the need for a constant power supply and medical-grade carbon dioxide.

The investigators will perform a clinical First-in-Human study at the Uganda Cancer Institute. Ugandan surgeons will use the KeySuite devices to perform biopsies of intra-abdominal tumors.
