NCT02805517

Brief Summary

A single-arm prospective internally-controlled study. Patients will undergo Percutaneous Externally-Assembled Laparoscopic (PEAL) donor nephrectomy where one or more 3 mm instruments are added or substituted for conventional 5 or 12 mm trocars. Multiple outcome measures (endpoints) will be measured including time to first opioid use, total inpatient opioid dosage, patient ranking of painfulness of each port site, duration of ileus, time to ambulation, length of hospital stay, presence of any intraoperative or postoperative complications, operating time, estimated blood loss, and other routine parameters collected in a prospective surgical study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Time to First Opioid Use

    Measurement of time from leaving the post-anesthesia care unit after surgery until the time of first opioid dispersal, regardless of opioid type.

    up to 1 day postoperatively

  • Total Inpatient Opioid Dosage

    Total opioid dosage administered throughout the patient's inpatient stay. Measured in units of Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME).

    3 days postoperatively

  • Pain Score of All Surgical Sites

    A patient-reported pain score (on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst) for each of the four port-site incisions, as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory. Scores were measured on both post-operative day one and on post-operative day two. The four port-site incisions which patients ranked pain scores for were: #1 - Hand-assist Port; #2 - 12 mm Port; #3 - 5 mm Port; #4 - Percutaneous Externally-Assembled Laparoscopic (PEAL) Port. A mean pain score was calculated by averaging the data across the two days.

    up to 2 days postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Post-operative Ileus

    up to 3 days post-operatively

  • Time to Ambulation

    3 days post-operatively

  • Length of Hospital Stay

    up do 4 days post-operatively

  • Presence of Intraoperative Complications

    Intraoperatively

  • Length of Operative Time

    Intraoperatively (up to 6 hours)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Limitations and Caveats

Although this was a prospective single-blinded study, it was limited by a modest sample size as the performance of donor nephrectomy surgeries transitioned to a separate surgical department not participating in this study.
