Patient Reported Experiences With Sparing External Oblique Fascia Vs Standard Inguinal Orchiectomy
NCT06828185 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in patient-reported postoperative outcomes between two standard-of-care surgical techniques for radical orchiectomy (inguinal orchiectomy versus external oblique fascia sparing orchiectomy) for treatment of patients with suspected testicular malignancy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does sparing the external oblique fascia during orchiectomy reduce pain after surgery? 2. Is there a difference in narcotic consumption after surgery? 3. Is there a difference in neuropathic pain after surgery? 4. Is there a difference in complications after surgery?

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06828185
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06828185 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 80 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Loma Linda University, which has 191 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Testicular Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Radical inguinal orchiectomy is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06828185 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
