Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Pelvic surgery is performed with the patient in the Trendelenburg position (lying on the operating table which is angled so that the head is lower than the feet) and with high intraabdominal CO₂ pressure in order to move the intestines out of the surgical field and to create an optimal view for the surgical team.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic surgery with spinal anesthesia in the Trendelenburg position with different pressures of CO₂. What is the best protocol in terms of risk and comfort for the patient and the surgeon?

Who can participate?
Women due to undergo laproscopic surgery

What does the study involve?
The surgery is carried out as usual. Different pressures of CO₂ are used to investigate the effect on ease of performing the surgery and the level of risk to the patient.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None

Where is the study run from?
Medline Clinics (Uzbekistan)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2018 to October 2020

Who is funding the study?
ESTHER Switzerland – Network for the promotion of Institutional Health Partnerships (IHP)

Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleLaparoscopic surgery with spinal anesthesia: a prospective observational study
Study objectivesThe primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery of the pelvic organs under loco-regional anesthesia. Patient and surgeon comfort are analyzed by using different parameters of the laparoscopic procedure (degree of Trendelenburg inclinision, pressure of CO2-pneumoperitoneum, type of operation, length of operation). Side effects will be recorded.
The secondary objective is to analyse the recovery of the patient after surgery.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 02/12/2018, Ethical Committee at Tashkent Medical Academy, Urgench branch, Uzbekistan (14, H.Olimjon str, Urgench, Khorezm region, 220100, Uzbekistan; +998 (0)995649170; no email provided), ref: 01/2016
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedGynecological diseases in the pelvis
InterventionLaparoscopic surgery was performed for pelvic diseases using spinal anesthesia and with the patient in the Trendelenburg position, using different CO₂ pressures for pneumoperitoneum. Without or with very low CO₂ pressures the uterus was pushed with a cervical manipulator forceps towards the abdominal wall in order to view the organs of the pelvis. No additional medicine was used intravenously. Pneumoperitoneum was generated with CO₂ gas between 4 to 14 mmHg.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)

Measured using a survey before, during and post surgery:
1. Comfort of the patient and the surgeon
2. Pain during the operation
3. Feasibility of performing the surgery
4. Questions about satisfaction (changes or symptoms pre-and post-operatively, time of recovery, satisfaction with information, improvement in well being, recommending the operation)

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Measured using self-report on a 0–10 scale (0=minimum, 10=maximum impairment) before, during and post surgery:
1. Symptoms (pain, postoperative symptoms)
2. Side effects (headache, nausea)
3. Quality of life (felt tired/drained/lacking energy, felt irritable/snappy, felt depressed/tearful, general evaluation of health, change in body perception)
