Temporary Artery Clipping for Robotically-assisted Myomectomy, a Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Summary
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of temporary clipping of the uterine artery and utero-ovarian ligament during robotically assisted myomectomy (RAM) for uterine fibroids. While RAM is increasingly used for myomectomy, bleeding control remains challenging. Temporary clipping of arteries has shown promise in conventional laparoscopy but has not been studied in RAM. This randomized controlled trial will assess primary endpoints such as estimated blood loss, need for transfusion, and hemoglobin drop, alongside secondary outcomes like complication rates and operation time.
