Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

SurgiNose is a single-center, non-randomized feasibility study aiming to evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative tissue analysis using differential mobility of surgical smoke generated with electrocautery.

Patients receive standard-of-care breast conserving surgery.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Analysis of electrosurgical smoke.

Detailed Description

The increasing number of breast cancer survivors and their longevity has emphasized the importance of aesthetic and functional outcomes of cancer surgery and increased pressure for the surgical treatment to achieve negative margins with minimal removal of healthy tissue.

Surgical smoke has been successfully utilized in tissue identification in laboratory conditions by using a system based on differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) that could provide a seamless margin assessment method.

In this study, a DMS-based tissue smoke analysis system will be used intraoperatively in 20 breast cancer surgeries to assess its feasibility in tissue identification. The effect of the system on complications and duration of surgeries is also studied. The surgeries are recorded with a head-worn camera system for visual annotation of the operated tissue types to enable classification of the measurement files by supervised learning.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Discrimination rate of healthy tissue types encountered during surgery [During the procedure]

    The device records a molecular spectrum of the surgical smoke every time the device is activated. The tissues are annotated using head-mounted camera that records video footage from the viewpoint of the surgeon. The primary outcome of the the study is the ability of the device to correctly classify healthy tissues that are encountered during breast surgery including fat tissue, glandular tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, dermis. The accuracy is cross-validated using leave-one-out cross-validation and is reported as correct classification rate (CCR) %.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Surgical time [During the procedure]

    The duration of surgical procedures when the device is used. Institutional average procedure duration is used for comparison.

  2. Complications [30 days after surgery.]

    Complications of surgery in the follow-up period of 30 days.
