Hemorrhoidectomy in Patients With Grade III & IV Disease:Harmonic Scalpel

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Hemorrhoidectomy is the treatment of choice for grade 3 and 4th degree hemorrhoids. Various surgical technique has been used to improve the outcome of the procedures performed in respect to operative time ,post operative pain and hospital stay. This study compares the conventional closed technique with harmonic scalpel technique which is a device regulated with ultrasonic waves to perform the procedure with minimal postoperative complication as well as decreasing the prolong stay in hospital.

Clinical Trial Description

INTRODUCTION:

Ferguson closed hemorrhoidectomy is conventional procedure in 3rd and 4th degree hemorrhoids but recent advances in harmonic scalpel have shown to produce favorable results. Comparison of these two is studied in terms of pain outcome as patient perceives, operative time and duration of hospital stay.

OBJECTIVES:

To compare the outcome of conventional hemorrhoidectomy versus harmonic scalpel in III and IV degree hemorrhoids.

STUDY DESIGN:

Randomized controlled trial

STUDY SETTING:

The study was conducted in surgical unit 1, Services hospital, Lahore.

DURATION OF STUDY:

Study was completed in six months after the approval of synopsis i.e. from 27th August 2015 to 26th February 2016.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE:

After approval from hospital ethical committee, 100 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria had been recruited from outdoor and emergency department. A detailed history had been taken including demographic data (age, address) and all patients had been clinically examined .Patients was divided in two groups randomly using random number tables. Group A: Conventional hemorrhoidectomy. Group B: harmonic scalpel hemorrhoidectomy. Patients had been requested to sign an informed consent. They had been assured regarding confidentiality and expertise used for the procedure. All procedures had been performed by a single surgical operating team to control bias. Per operatively operative time was noted. Post operatively pain had been assessed in 24 hours , mean hospital stay was measured in days from postoperative day till day of discharge (as per operational definition). All data had been collected and recorded on the attached Performa. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
