Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Advanced Vessel Sealing Device (Vi-sealer)

Overview

This study's primary goal is to compare the efficacy and safety of the novel advanced hemostatic device(AHD), Vi-Sealer, with conventional AHDs in laparoscopic total hysterectomy for patients with benign gynecologic neoplasm.

Detailed description

Vi-Sealer is a reusable advanced bipolar electrode with an interchangeable blade. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the Vi-Sealer by comparing it with other advanced hemostatic devices, such as Ligasure, Enseal, Thunderbeat, Harmonic scalpel, etc. The economic evaluation of the device compared with other disposable devices would also be conducted.

Interventions

  • Device Vi-Sealer
    using Reusable device, Vi-Sealer
  • Device Ligasure
    using Ligasure
  • Device Other AHD
    Using other AHDs such as Thunderbeat, Harmonic scalpel, Caiman®, Enseal, etc. except Ligasure

Primary outcome measures

  • Operative procedure time [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
  • Estimated blood loss [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Estimated medical cost of device [Time frame: within 6 weeks after intervention]
  • Device evaluation score [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
  • Adverse events [Time frame: within 6 weeks after intervention]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged 20 to 65 years
