Temporary Artery Clipping for Robotically-assisted Myomectomy, a Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Temporary clipping of the uterine arteries and the utero-ovarian ligmants.: Temporary clipping of the uterine arteries and the utero-ovarian ligaments using laparoscopic clips/bulldog clamps, during robotically assisted myomectomy.
No temporary clipping of the uterine arteries and the utero-ovarian ligmants.: Robotically assisted myomectomy, for which no temporary clipping of the uterine arteries and the utero-ovarian ligaments
Study summary
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of temporary clipping of the uterine artery and utero-ovarian ligament during robotically assisted myomectomy (RAM) for uterine fibroids. While RAM is increasingly used for myomectomy, bleeding control remains challenging. Temporary clipping of arteries has shown promise in conventional laparoscopy but has not been studied in RAM. This randomized controlled trial will assess primary endpoints such as estimated blood loss, need for transfusion, and hemoglobin drop, alongside secondary outcomes like complication rates and operation time.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Peri-operative blood loss: Estimated blood loss — 1 week
Multiple primary endpoints will be used to asses the blood loss: \- Estimated blood loss \>500 mL - Peri-operative blood loss: Hemoglobin drop perioperatively >2g/dL — 1 day
Multiple primary endpoints will be used to asses the blood loss: \- Hemoglobin drop perioperatively \>2g/dL (difference between hemoglobin preoperatively and postoperatively) - Peri-operative blood loss: Need for peri-operative blood transfusion — 1 week
Multiple primary endpoints will be used to asses the blood loss: \- Need for peri-operative blood transfusion
