Overview

Pelvic organ prolapse is an increasingly common functional disorder which affects approximately 30 to 40% of the female population, 12% of whom have a symptomatic form, with a psychological, physical and social impact. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy represents the surgical "gold standard" for the treatment of this functional disorder. It aims to suspend the vaginal vault by means of a prosthesis. The patient satisfaction rate is evaluated at 94% with low overall complication rate, evaluated at 11%.

Pelvic organ prolapse surgery is a common, with an estimated 30,000 procedures carried out in France in 2013 (excluding hysterectomy) (2013 ATIH data), and the number will increase in the future due to increasing life expectancy. 13% of women will undergo this type of procedure. The French General Directorate of Health Care Supply (DGOS) deems outpatient surgery to be the benchmark for surgical activity in all eligible patients, and has expressed the need for recommendations and tools for supporting its development. The rate of outpatient surgery for prolapse remains low in France (6.1%, 2015 ATIH data), while it is 25% in the US and 56% in Denmark. The average duration of hospital stays for DRG N81.2 (first degree uterine prolapse) in 2015 was 3.43 days. These procedures have been the subject of publications concerning outpatient care and involving low numbers of patients, with the exception of the publication by Sinhal which involved 111 patients.

Description

In our study, the investigators propose to evaluate the success rate for outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with or without robotic assistance in screened patients. With this aim in mind, the investigators will conduct a national multicenter prospective study including 80 female patients. Successful outpatient treatment is defined by the absence of conventional inpatient admission with 24H after surgery, the indications for admission being a CHUNG Score < 9, one perioperative complication, postoperative urinary retention requiring reinsertion of a urinary catheter. The outpatient success rate for other surgical techniques such as cholecystectomy or laparoscopic hysterectomy is above 90% in the literature. Envisaging an equivalent rate after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, our population size would make it possible to obtain precision +/- 5.3% for estimation of this proportion. The patients are followed up for 1 month with a postoperative visit at 30 days, during which the efficacy of the technique is evaluated using conventional indicators (POP-Q; ICIQ, USP, PFDI-20, PISQ-12, PFIQ-7, etc.). Once completed, this preliminary investigation will make it possible to define a reference value for successful outpatient sacrocolpopexy, which has not yet been published, which may be used as a basis for a larger scale randomized study that would aim to compare the efficacy of outpatient treatment, with conventional inpatient treatment, for efficient patient management

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
