Effect of Abdominal Binder aftEr Laparoscopic Treatment on Postoperative Recovery

NCT03485859 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 66

Last updated 2019-04-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There have been no studies exploring the efficacy of incision support using an elastic abdominal binder after laparoscopy to date. The investigators performed therefore a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of post-laparoscopic abdominal binder use on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients with gynecologic disease.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopy

Interventions

DEVICE

Experimental group

In subjects allocated to the abdominal binder group, the abdomen binder with a standard height of 22 cm (Sejung Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea) was applied before leaving the operating room. The binder was placed on the abdomen across the laparoscopic incision, with the upper border not higher than the lower margin of the rib cage, ensuring minimal restriction of lateral costal expansion and diaphragmatic excursion. Subjects were carefully instructed to use the abdominal binder during at least the first 2 consecutive days and night, and to reposition the abdominal binder correctly when needed.

DEVICE

Control group

In subjects allocated in the control group, subjects were not given any opportunity to ware an abdominal binder.
