Suprapubic Transverse Incision With Rectus Release for Upper Peritoneal Access): A Novel Dual-Plane Technique for Abdominal Wall Incision in Complex Gynecological Surgery
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Post-Op Complication
In brief
This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness, anatomical benefits, and postoperative outcomes of the STIRRUP incision (Suprapubic Transverse Incision with Rectus Release for Upper Peritoneal Access) by comparing outcomes with historically established benchmarks and published data from traditional abdominal wall incisions used in complex gynecologic surgery.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 65. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Female patients aged 18-65 years
- Indication for open gynecologic surgery for benign or borderline pelvic or abdominopelvic masses
- Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18 kg/m²
- Willing and able to provide informed consent and attend follow-up
- Mass size between 15-30 cm, which is considered optimal for the STIRRUP (Suprapubic Transverse Incision with Rectus Release for Upper Peritoneal access) technique due to the balance between exposure and minimal morbidity

- Malignant tumors requiring upper abdominal visceral resection (liver, spleen, diaphragm)
- Emergency surgery
- Previous complex abdominal wall reconstruction with mesh
- Contraindication to general anesthesia
- Masses extending to the xiphisternum or measuring >30 cm
- Cases requiring supracolic omentectomy
- Planned lymphadenectomy (especially if comprehensive para-aortic lymph node dissection is required )
