Comparison Between Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery and Multi-port Laparoscopy in Treating Uterine Fibroids

January 28, 2024 updated by: Zheng Ying, West China Second University Hospital

Comparison of Operational Outcomes and Long-term Benefits Between Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery and Multi-port Laparoscopy in Treating Uterine Fibroids

Myomectomy was preferably applied in females with reproductive requirements, which could be achieved by transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) or multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS). Power morcellation used in MPLS was correlated with unidentified risk of tumor dissemination, especially in cases with accidental surgical findings of uterine sarcoma or leiomyosarcoma. Moreover, TU-LESS was reported to exceed MPLS in fast recovery. Therefore, the aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the effectiveness of fast recovery and relative risk of tumor dissemination between TU-LESS and MPLS in myomectomy for the treatment of uterine fibroids.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: TU-LESS for myomectomy
Patients complaint of symptoms resulting from uterine fibroids, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, frequent micturition, lower abdominal pain, constipation, etc or patients with uterine fibroids which were identified accidentally during routine body examination who consulted at our center for surgical removal of the fibroids. In the meantime, the diagnosis of uterine fibroids should be reconfirmed by at least one radiological examination at our center. The patients in the experiment group were those who received transumbilical laparoendoscopic single site surgery (TU-LESS) for myomectomy.
Procedure: TU-LESS
TU-LESS group will receive TU-LESS for myomectomy; MPLS group will receive MPLS for myomectomy
Active Comparator: MPLS for myomectomy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of hospital stay after surgery
Time Frame: From enrollment to 1 month after receiving myomectomy
