NCT06362070

Brief Summary

The object of this exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate intra and post-operative complications in a population that underwent Robotic Gastrectomy, with multiple platforms:

  • DaVinci;
  • Hugo;
  • Versius. This study is divided into two phases: in the first phase, gastrectomy will be performed using both the new platforms (Hugo and Versius) and the standard platform (Da Vinci), to evaluate the feasibility of the surgical procedure. In the second phase, the three platforms will be compared to evaluate any differences in the learning curve for an upper-GI surgeon, expert in laparoscopic surgery but not with robotic one. The questions it aims to answer are:
  • Are differences (intra-operative, post-operative, oncological, functional, technical, and economic) among the three different platforms observable?
  • Are there any differences between the three platforms related to the learning curve for surgeons? Participants will be enrolled, after obtaining informed consent, in one of the following cohorts:
  • surgery with the daVinci platform;
  • surgery with the Hugo platform;
  • surgery with the Versius platform.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Conversion rate to open or laparoscopic approach (Phase 1)

    Number of procedures in which it is necessary to convert to open or laparoscopic approach, due to surgical and/or oncological needs

    Intraoperative

  • Number of participants with major intraoperative complications (Phase 1)

    Major complications are considered according to the GASTRODATA definition (Unintentional intraoperative damage to major vessels and/or organs requiring reconstruction or resection. Intraoperative bleeding requiring urgent treatment. Unforeseen medical conditions that interrupt or change the planned procedure) and according to Clavien-Dindo Classification (7 grades: I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication.

    Intraoperative

  • Evaluation of surgical times of the standardized procedures (Phase 2)

    Analysis of surgical times (as minutes of the different surgical steps of the standardized procedure).

    Intraoperative

  • Analysis of video of surgical procedures (Phase 2)

    Evaluation of analysis of video of surgical procedure, as deviations from the standard.

    Intraoperative

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Estimated Blood Loss

    Intraoperative

  • Overall duration of the surgery

    Intraoperative

  • Anesthesia, Lymphadenectomy, Gastrectomy (10 different surgical steps)

    Entrance of patient into operating room until completion of surgery

  • Number of participants with major postoperative complications

    Until 90 days post surgery

  • Compliance rate to ERAS protocol

    1-7 days postoperative

  • +11 more secondary outcomes
