About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Uterine Fibroids focused on measuring Laparoscopy, 3D Visual System, Total Hysterectomy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women with benign conditions such as uterine fibroids, menorrhagia, adenomyosis, pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None

Sites / Locations

  • Brigham & Women's Hospital
  • Odense University Hospital

Arm Description

The standard 2D Laparoscopy System to be used at time of the total laparoscopic hysterectomy

The Storz 3D Laparoscopy System is the intervention we are studying at the time of the total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Vaginal Cuff Closure Times
The primary endpoint is the vaginal cuff closure time at the time of a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. As the 2D laparoscopy system is standard during laparoscopic cases, our objective is to assess if there is a difference in vaginal cuff closure time when a 3D laparoscopy system is used instead. At time of the surgery, that patient will be randomized to either system. A resident or fellow will close the vaginal cuff and time to close the vaginal cuff will be recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Estimated Blood Loss at the Time of Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
The secondary endpoint is the surgeon estimated blood loss at the time of a total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective aim is to evaluate whether the use of 3D laparoscopy facilitates the vaginal cuff closure of the vaginal cuff during a total laparoscopic hysterectomy among novice laparoscopists (PGY 2-4, Fellow). This is a randomized single blinded controlled trial comparing the difference in 2D vs. 3D in regards to vaginal cuff closure time stratified by residents and fellows. Patients will undergo a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and will be randomized to either 2D versus 3D.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized single blinded controlled trial investigating 3D laparoscopy in the clinical setting. Based on previous studies indicating 3D laparoscopy has improved skills of novice surgeons in the simulation lab, there has been no reports to date investigating the role of 3D laparoscopy in the operating room. Our study will evaluate the facility of 3D laparoscopy in the novice surgeon, mainly residents and fellow. Patients who present for a scheduled total laparoscopic hysterectomy will be randomized to either the standard 2D laparoscopy system or 3D laparoscopy system. Stratifying residents versus fellow, we will compare the time to close the vaginal cuff comparing both systems.
