Conditions
Brief summary
We are doing this research to evaluate a new device intended to improve outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy and overall patient care. Historically, without contained tissue reduction, malignancy (cancer) can spread within the pelvic space. The Claria System is designed to capture, reduce, and remove uterine tissue without the spreading of potentially malignant (cancer) cells. This research study is intended to demonstrate the function of the new Claria System and its ability to successfully contain, morcellate, and remove uterine tissue during hysterectomy. Safety of the system will also be evaluated.
Interventions
There have been numerous devices that have enabled contained morcellation during hysterectomy. This is the act of capturing the specimen or uterus in a bag or other container and then performing the tissue reduction (or morcellation). If any malignant tissue is present, the expectation is that the container prevents the spread of any malignancies. The Claria System is a bulk tissue reducer with tissue container for use during hysterectomy (for tissue reduction of the uterus for removal). The Claria System will be introduced during the planned hysterectomy procedure. The operating surgeon and operating room staff will support the use of the system with the surgeon administering the use of the device. It is expected that the surgery time will be as planned for hysterectomy (1-3 hours). Claria personnel will be present to ensure that all tasks (steps) are appropriately administered. In addition, the post procedure survey will also capture this information per the surgeon and the OR nurse. Personnel will undergo consistent training in support of use of the system. All surgeon operators will be provided the same training materials to ensure consistency across all who use the device. OR staff will be provided in-service level training to ensure awareness to the use of the system.
