Does 3D Laparoscopy Improve Vaginal Cuff Suture Time? A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing 3D Laparoscopy Versus Standard Laparoscopy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Storz 3D Laparoscopy System and 2D Laparoscopy for Uterine Fibroids and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 57 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The objective aim is to evaluate whether the use of 3D laparoscopy facilitates the vaginal cuff closure of the vaginal cuff during a total laparoscopic hysterectomy among novice laparoscopists (PGY 2-4, Fellow). This is a randomized single blinded controlled trial comparing the difference in 2D vs. 3D in regards to vaginal cuff closure time stratified by residents and fellows. Patients will undergo a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and will be randomized to either 2D versus 3D.

Interventions
The Storz 3D Laparoscopy System is a new device that allows for laparoscopic surgeons to utilize 3D imaging during surgery with a fraction of the cost of the da Vinci Surgical System, a three-dimensional visual system.
The standard 2D Laparoscopy System to be used at time of the total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
