Comparison of Postoperative Drain Insertion Versus No Drain Insertion In Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
- Conditions
- TOTAL ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY
- Interventions
- Procedure: SURGICAL DRAIN
- Registration Number
- NCT04285502
- Lead Sponsor
- Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Pediatric Research and Training Hospital
- Brief Summary
This prospective randomized controlled trial was planned to be conducted among total laparoscopic hysterectomies performed at Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital during one year period. The effect of drain insertion during the surgery will be assessed by this clinical trial. Patients will be assigned into two groups as cases and controls. Patients who will a drain inserted will be considered as case group and patients without a drain will be considered as control group. Patients will be evaluated according to their post operative VAS scores, hematocrit levels, their drainage volume and manifestation of an infection after the surgery.
- Detailed Description
This prospective randomized controlled trial was planned to be conducted from February 2020 to February 2021 and included total laparoscopic hysterectomies performed at Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital during the study period.
Surgeries on patients with existing comorbidity, with underlying malignant conditions, patients diagnosed deeply infiltrative endometriosis during surgery and patients who undergo multiple surgeries will be excluded from the study.
Clinical and descriptive data will be collected from both paper and electronic records, including the pain of the patient, the need for analgesia at the 6th-12th and 24th hour during the post-operative period. Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to track the pain progression of the patients. Intraabdominal bleeding will be determined by measuring the hematocrit levels and drainage volume at postoperative day 1. Patients will also be assessed according to manifesting an infection in both the short term and long term.
Patients who will a drain inserted will be considered as case group and patients without a drain will be considered as control group. Data will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). A Chi-squared test will be used to evaluate the significance of the associations between variables. Continuous variables will be displayed as means and standard deviations. A P value of ≤0.050 will be considered as significant.
This study obtained ethical approval from the Medical Research \& Ethics Committee of Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Diseases Training and Research Hospital.
