Study Comparing Recovery With and Without Drainage Tubes After Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy Surgery

What this Trial Is About

This clinical trial investigates the safety and recovery benefits of tubeless laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients undergoing adrenal gland removal surgery. The study aims to answer whether avoiding drainage tubes after surgery helps patients recover more quickly, focusing on pain, the time to first get out of bed, and the recovery of intestinal function. It is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled study enrolling 200 patients who need laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives surgery without drainage tubes tubeless group, and the other group has drainage tubes placed after surgery drainage group. The study compares outcomes such as pain scores, blood tests, and recovery indicators between these groups. Follow-up includes adrenal ultrasounds at one and six months post-surgery to monitor recovery and safety. During the study, participants will have blood tests and assessments of pain, time to mobilization, and intestinal function for the first three days after surgery. Researchers will also monitor for complications like fever and wound infections. Follow-up ultrasound exams at one and six months will help evaluate longer-term recovery. The trial uses block randomization and collects data to assess whether tubeless surgery promotes faster and safer recovery after adrenalectomy.
