Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze clinical, procedural/operational and economics data on the commercial use of the Hugo™ Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) System in prostatectomy patients treated in an ASC setting at the Central Ohio Urology Group (COUG).

This data will address a current evidence gap by providing insights into clinical outcomes, learning curve, procedural efficiency, patient recovery, and economic metrics at COUG. The study also aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of performing RAS in an ASC setting, thereby advancing the adoption of Hugo™ RAS in this growing care setting.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All male patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with prostate cancer who are treated with robotic surgery using the Hugo™ RAS System.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects (male) ≥ 18 years old
  • Subject has been indicated for a radical prostatectomy surgical procedure
  • Subject is able to be treated with robotic surgery

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
Incidence of Perioperative Complications
Time Frame: From first incision through skin closure

Number of participants experiencing an intraoperative complication following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy performed using the Hugo™ RAS System. Complications will be classified according to institutional standards and summarized by severity.
From first incision through skin closure
Incidence of Postoperative Complications
Time Frame: From the end of the procedure through 90 days post-procedure

Number of participants experiencing a postoperative complication following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy performed using the Hugo™ RAS System. Complications will be classified according to institutional standards and summarized by severity.
From the end of the procedure through 90 days post-procedure
Conversion to Alternative Surgical Approach
Time Frame: From first incision through skin closure

Number of procedures converted from robotic-assisted surgery using the Hugo™ RAS System to an open, laparoscopic, or other surgical approach.
From first incision through skin closure

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Operative Time
Time Frame: Up to 340 minutes

Operative time shall be collected through the length of the procedure. Assessed on the day of surgery
Up to 340 minutes
Operating Room Turnover
Time Frame: From completion of the procedure (skin closure) until operating room readiness for the subsequent case, assessed on the day of surgery

Time from completion of a procedure until the operating room is ready for the subsequent case
From completion of the procedure (skin closure) until operating room readiness for the subsequent case, assessed on the day of surgery
Total Procedure Cost
Time Frame: From the date of surgery through completion of associated ambulatory surgical center billing

Total direct Ambulatory Surgery Center cost associated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy performed using the Hugo™ RAS System
From the date of surgery through completion of associated ambulatory surgical center billing
Surgeon Learning Curve
Time Frame: From the surgeon's first patient procedure through the last patient procedure

Change in operative time across sequential prostatectomy cases performed using the Hugo™ RAS System as a measure of surgeon proficiency acquisition
From the surgeon's first patient procedure through the last patient procedure

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
