Prospective Multi-Center Study of Short-Term Outcomes After Complex Cholecystectomy

May 26, 2023 updated by: Intuitive Surgical

COMPlex Cholecystectomy Trial (COMPaCT): A Prospective Multi-Center Study of Short-Term Outcomes After Complex Cholecystectomy

The study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes after complex robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center cohort study, evaluating short-term clinical outcomes after complex robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The primary outcomes include the rate of conversion to open, rate of intra-operative adverse events, the rate of post-operative adverse events relating to the cholecystectomy within 30 days, and re-admissions and re-operations relating to the cholecystectomy within 30 days. In addition, operative time, the rate of use of intra-operative imaging, the hospital length of stay, and pain and QOL scores will be collected as secondary outcomes.

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects who are eligible based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria may participate in the study. Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled in each cohort (laparoscopic and robotic-assisted). In each cohort, a maximum of 50% of subjects may be enrolled with a Nassar Grade II, and a minimum of 50% of subjects with either Nassar Grade III or IV may be enrolled.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is between 18 and 80 years of age at the time of surgery
  2. Subject is a candidate for a cholecystectomy
  3. Subject has a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and is being admitted through the Emergency Room (ER)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. A single port (single site or single incision procedure) cholecystectomy will be performed
  2. Subject will undergo a concomitant procedure
  3. Subject is contraindicated for surgery or a minimally invasive approach
  4. Subject has a known bleeding or clotting disorder that is not able to be controlled during surgery
  5. Pregnant or suspect pregnant
  6. Subject is mentally handicapped or has a psychological disorder or severe systematic illness that would preclude compliance with the study requirements or ability to provide informed consent
  7. Subject belonging to other vulnerable population, e.g. prisoner or ward of the state
  8. Subject is unable to comply with the follow-up visit schedule
  9. Subject is currently participating in another research study

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Subject has a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and is admitted through the ER for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
With the patient under general anesthesia, several small incisions are made in the abdomen. Ports are placed, the abdomen is insufflated, and laparoscopic instruments as well as a laparoscope are inserted to complete the cholecystectomy according to the surgeon's standard practice.
Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy
Subject has a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and is admitted through the ER for a robotic-assisted cholecystectomy.
With the patient under general anesthesia, several small incisions are made in the abdomen. Ports are placed, the abdomen is insufflated, and the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System (Intuitive) is docked to the patient and used to complete the cholecystectomy according to the surgeon's standard of care.
