Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Total Abdominal Hysterectomy in Women With Endometrial Neoplasia

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Laparoscopy
Hysterectomy
Interventions
Procedure: Hysterectomy
Registration Number
NCT03698604
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams Maternity Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare operative time between total laparoscopy hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophrectomy (TLH+BSO) versus total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy (TAH+BSO) in women with uterine neoplasia.

Detailed Description

Research Questions:

Is total laparoscopic hysterectomy associated with similar operative operative time as total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophrectomy in women with uterine neoplasia?

Research Hypothesis:

In women with uterine neoplasia TLH with BSO may be similar to TAH with BSO as regard operative time.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Operative timeFrom skin incision till closure of the vault "up to 4 hours".

Operative time measured in minutes using stopwatch excluding time of concomitant surgical procedures.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hospital stayFrom admission to the hospital until the home discharge "up to 1 week".

Hospital stay duration in days.

Blood transfusionFrom admission to the hospital until the home discharge "up to 1 week".

The need to blood transfusion to the patient.

Postoperative pain8 hours after the end of operation.

Assessment of pain intensity using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) which is one-dimensional measure of pain intensity.

It is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal line, 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme. The scale is anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100).

Incidence of operative complicationsDuring operation.

The need for laparotomy, and bowel or bladder or ureteric injury.

Blood lossFrom skin incision start until skin suturing is finished "up to 4 hours".

Intra operative blood loss will be estimated via:

1. Amount of blood in the suction bottle.

2. Estimation will be based on number of soaked gauzes and towels (soaked gauze = 20 ml blood; soaked towel = 150 ml; semi soaked towel = 75 ml).

Incidence of postoperative complicationsUp to 1 week postoperative.

Morbidities e.g.:

* Vaginal vault hematoma or pelvic hematoma or abscess.

* Surgical site infection.

* Urinary tract infection.

* Need for post-operative blood transfusion.

* Postoperative bowel or urinary tract complications.
