Brief Summary

Insulin resistance is a key reaction to surgery and trauma and reflects the degree of metabolic stress. With greater degree of insulin resistance the development of complications increase, in particular infectious complications. The aim of this study is to determine if robotic assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy induces less insulin resistance compared to abdominal hysterectomy. Insulin resistance is measured by the hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp method. In addition inflammatory factors and clinical recovery will be measured.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Insulin resistance

    Insulin resistance is measured by the hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp, a method that now is the golden standard for determining insulin sensitivity. The clamp is measured 1-2 weeks before surgery and on the morning after surgery.

    3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes in biomarkers of inflammation and the immune system.

    3 weeks

  • 6 minutes walk test

    3 weeks

  • postoperative outcomes

    4 weeks

  • complications

    4 weeks

Abdominal hysterectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard extrafascial abdominal total hysterectomy through a low transverse abdominal wall incision.

Procedure: Abdominal hysterectomy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Over 18 years of age
  • Scheduled to total hysterectomy and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSOE).
  • Both malignant or benign indications
  • The operation should be technically possible to perform with laparoscopy or by abdominal incision, including approval from an anesthesiologist
  • Acceptance to participate in the study and signed written informed consent document
  • Proficiency in Swedish language

You may not qualify if:

  • The operation is anticipated to comprise more than the hysterectomy + BSOE
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Severe chronic pain or massive pain medication
  • Severe inflammatory disease like active severe endometriosis or inflammatory bowel disease
  • Known severe adhesions in the abdomen
  • Contraindications on non steroidal analgesia
  • Medication with drugs or disease affecting insulin resistance for example cortisone
  • Mentally disabled women who cannot fill in the questionnaires or understand the consequences of participating in a trial
  • Severe psychiatric disease or on medication for psychiatric disease so that the physician consider participation in the trial inappropriate
