Barbed Suture in Single-port Laparoscopic Myomectomy

July 30, 2015 updated by: Taejong Song, CHA University

Single-port Laparoscopic Myomectomy Using Barbed Suture Versus Multi-port One: a Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to test our hypothesis that the use of unidirectional knotless barbed suture in single-port laparoscopic myomectomy could facilitate the suture of uterine wall defect after myoma enucleation as multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy did.

Detailed Description

The investigators plan to perform a multi-center randomized clinical trial on women scheduled for laparoscopic myomectomy. All women will get the same preoperative and postoperative care. Women will be assigned by chance to one of two groups: one group will receive single-port laparoscopic myomectomy using V-Loc™ suture material (study group). The other group will receive conventional multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy using V-Loc™ suture material (control group). The investigators will collect information on suturing time and complications related to surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Single-port laparoscopic myomectomy
We will use barbed suture (V-Loc) under intervention of single-port laparoscopic myomectomy
Procedure: Single-port laparoscopic myomectomy
The aim of this study is to compare single-port laparoscopic myomectomy using barbed suture (experimental group) with multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy using barbed suture (control group) in terms of operative time (esp. suturing time).
Active Comparator: Multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy
We will use barbed suture(V-Loc) under intervention of multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy.
Procedure: Multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy
The aim of this study is to compare single-port laparoscopic myomectomy using barbed suture (experimental group) with multi-port laparoscopic myomectomy using barbed suture(control group) in terms of operative time (esp. suturing time).
