Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Clinical trial The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intrauterine suturing with Apollos X-tack, inserted into the uterus by hysteroscope.

Primary outcome:

Intrauterine suture will sustain the procedure - when the uterus will be opened the suture will be observed.

Secondary outcome:

Procedure complications. Study Design Interventional pilot Study

Study group:

Women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Introduction:

A hysteroscopy is a procedure used to examine and treat the inside of the uterus.

Apollo X-tack is an endoscopic apparatus for stomach defect closure by gastroscopy.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intrauterine suturing with Apollos X-tack inserted into the uterus by hysteroscope.

Study Design Interventional pilot study

Study group:

Women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Inclusion criteria:

Benign indication for hysterectomy

Exclusion from the study:

Evidence or suspicious for malignancy

Sample size calculation:

Pilot study of 2 patients.

Primary outcome:

Intrauterine suture will sustain the procedure - when the uterus will be opened the suture will be observed.

Secondary outcome:

Procedure complications.

Recruitment:

The recruitment of the patients will be done at the gynecology department before the surgery.

Procedure:

After general anesthesia and entering the abdomen with the laparoscope, Truclear hysteroscope with X-tack attached will be inserted to the uterine cavity. Insertion of normal saline to the cavity and applying 4 points suturing to the uterus. The procedure will be monitored by external laparoscopic camera located in the abdominal cavity. After the hysterectomy the uterus will be opened and the suture will be examine.

A preoperative intrauterine incision using a hysteroscope, followed by suturing, will be considered based on the success of the first procedure.

CRF:

Demographics information, obstetrics and gynecology information, surgery type, surgery indication.

Procedure duration, success, amount of fluid used, cervical dilatation, complications.
