Study summary

Prospective multicentric randomized trial to evaluate the role of uterine manipulator on laparoscopic/robotic total hysterectomy for the treatment of early stage G1 - G2 endometrial cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics - FIGO stages IA-IB).

Read the detailed description

This multicentric prospective randomized Phase III trial is aimed to verify if the use of uterine manipulator for laparoscopic/robotic treatment of early stage endometrial cancer can influence the impact of peritoneal cytology and lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) and the outcomes in terms of perioperative and oncological (disease free survival - DFS, overall survival - OS) outcomes.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    With Uterine Manipulator

    77 Patients affected by early stage endometrial cancer submitted to elective laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer using uterine manipulator.

    Device: Clermont-Ferrand Uterine Manipulator

  • Experimental
    Without Uterine Manipulator

    77 Patients affected by early stage endometrial cancer submitted to elective laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer without support of uterine manipulator.

    Other: No uterine Manipulator

Interventions

  • DeviceClermont-Ferrand Uterine Manipulator

    Pelvic cytology is obtained before starting surgical procedures (washing number 1). After tubal coagulation, Clermont-Ferrand Uterine Manipulator is installed inside the uterus. At the end of the hysterectomy, after colporrhaphy, a second cytology is obtained (washing number 2)

  • OtherNo uterine Manipulator

    Pelvic cytology is obtained before starting surgical procedures (washing number 1). None uterine manipulator is used and the cervix is closed with a cross stitch. Tubal coagulation, At the end of the hysterectomy, after colporrhaphy, a second cytology is obtained (washing number 2)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Upstaging rate

    Evaluation of Lymphovascular space invasion and pre- / post-Hysterectomy pelvic cytology in order to investigate if the use of uterine manipulator has a role in upstaging of early-stage endometrial cancer

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complications

    To measure intra- and postoperative complication rate in order to investigate the specific role of uterine manipulator in complication occurred during hysterectomy or within 30 days after.

    Time frame: within 30 days from surgery

  2. Blood Loss

    To measure intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL) in order to investigate the specific role of uterine manipulator in hemostatic control during Hysterectomy safety of laparoscopic hysterectomy

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  3. Impact of surgical procedure

    To measure the specific role of uterine manipulator in impact on surgery. More in dept operative time (OT), ileus, discharge time will be respectively measured in minutes, hours and days.

    Time frame: Perioperative

  4. Role of uterine manipulator in Obesity

    To determine the specific correlations between the use or not of uterine manipulator and Body Mass Index (BMI measured in kg/m2). To investigate if even this issue could influence the intraoperative safety

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  5. Impact on postoperative pain

    To investigate if the use or not of uterine manipulator could have a role in postoperative pain. Visual Analog Score (VAS) will be used to evaluate it.

    Time frame: Postoperative

  6. Oncological Outcomes: Rate of local relapses

    To investigate if the use or not of uterine manipulator could determine an higher rate of local relapses

    Time frame: 1 years - 5 years
