Retrospective Study on the Evaluation of the Impact of Augmented Reality Usage in Gynecological Laparoscopy on Patients Operated Between 2017 and 2021 (ImpactRA)

Amount of bleeding (in mL)

Estimating the impact of AR on the amount of bleeding

Time frame: In the intra-operative phase of the study

Post-operative pain measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS) score (measure every day after the operation as well as at the end of hospitalization).

Estimating the impact of AR on the pain measured with the post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) score. The score on this scale ranges from 0 to 10. The higher the score, the more pain the patient experienced at the time of filling in the scale.

Time frame: In the post-operative phase of the study

Intra-operative complication number and details (wounds of adjacent structures and organs, vascular wounds, opening of the uterine cavity, difficulties in locating the tumor) based on the comments of the surgical report

Estimating the impact of AR on the intra-operative complication rate

Time frame: In the intra-operative phase of the study

Conversion from laparoscopy to laparotomy

Estimating the impact of AR on the conversion rate (laparoscopy to laparotomy)

Time frame: In the intra-operative phase of the study

Comments related to the set up of AR (according to the surgical report)

Estimating the impact of AR in the operating room represented by its installation and use during the course of the surgical procedure and estimating the impact of AR on the complexity/difficulty of the procedure recorded in the surgical report

Time frame: In the intra-operative phase of the study

Total time of hospitalization (in day)

Estimating the impact of AR on hospitalization duration

Time frame: From the date of hospital admission to the date of hospital discharge assessed up to 1 week

Time between discharge from hospital and the last post-operative visit (in months)

Estimating the impact of AR on the time between discharge from hospital and the last post-operative visit (in months)

Time frame: From the date of hospital discharge to the date of the latest post-operative visit, assessed up to the last available information for each specific patient (6 years)

Pregnancy obtention follow-up

Estimating the impact of AR on the frequency of post-operative pregnancy

Time frame: From the date of surgery to the date of the latest post-operative visit, assessed up to the last available information for each specific patient (6 years)

Adenomyosis / myoma(s) recurrence from 6 months after the operation ;

Estimating the impact of AR on the frequency of recurrence greater than 6 months

Time frame: From the date of the surgery to the date of the latest post-operative visit, assessed up to the last available information for each specific patient (6 years)

Post-operative complications numbers and details (wounds of adjacent structures and organs, bleeding complications, reoperations, complications based on the Clavien-Dindo classification) based on the comments of the post-operative consultation

Estimating the impact of AR on the post-operative complication rate

Time frame: From the date of the surgery to the date of the latest post-operative visit, assessed up to the last available information for each specific patient (6 years)
