Study information

Study designMulticentre, randomised, active controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymSHAVER trial
Study objectivesTo compare the standard hysteroscopic electrosurgical resection technique with the new hysteroscopic morcellator technique in a residency program to assess the learning curve effect of both techniques.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPedunculated and sessile intra-uterine disorders
Intervention1. Electrosurgical resection using the hystero-resectoscope (control)
2. Mechanical morcellating technique using the hysteroscopic morcellator (with saline irrigation)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureParameters for easiness of use:
1. Operating-time
2. Amount of intravasation
3. Number of insertions of the instrument
4. Number of conversions to other techniques
5. Completeness of removal and subjective score of the surgeon (resident in training) and supervisor-trainer by Visual Analogue Scales (range poor 0 and excellent 10)
Secondary outcome measures1. Complications (perforation, bleeding, transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, etc.)
2. Failure
Overall study start date01/01/2005
Completion date01/04/2006
