Active clinical trials for "Anastomotic Leak"

The goal of this study is to compare the postoperative anal function of patients with ultra-low rectal cancer after Parks operation (colon anal anastomosis) and Bacon operation (colon anal pull-out anastomosis), which may provide clinical evidence for the improvement of anal function and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: the difference of anal function 1 year after surgery type of study: clinical trial participant population: patients with low rectal cancer Participants will receive Parks operation of Bacon operation If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare Parks and Bacon operation to see if the anal function 1 year after surgery is different.

To prospectively study the effect of adherence to ERAS and PBM programs on early outcomes after colorectal surgery

Azygos vein preservation revisited: impact on early outcomes after repair of Esophageal atresia/ Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula in newborns. A randomized controlled study.

The rate of anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic anterior resection（LAR） for medium & low rectal cancer is still high. the transanal drainage tube (TDT) was thought to be useful for deduce the rate. There were several studies, but most of them were not randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies. There was only one RCT study with enough samples, but it was designed for open anterior resection, and the patients underwent diverting stoma were excluded, so there was the selection bias. LAR now is thought to been with the same effect, and it is safe and feasible. So a RCT investigation for the use of TDT for prevention of anastomotic leakage after LAR for medium & low rectal cancer is needed.

Background and study aims: Management of esophago-jejunal anastomotic leackages (EJAL) after gastric resections is challenging. Endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) is an emerging effective tool for treatment of gastrointestinal and anastomotic leaks. We use ENPT for EJAL after oncological gastric resections as first line therapy since 2018. The aim of the study was to present our results with this strategy by a case series. Patients and methods: Eight patients were treated with ENPT for EJAL after oncological gastric resections between 01.2018 and 12.2019. A retrospective analysis of patient's and therapy related data was performed. Results: Time of detection was 6.25 ± 2.54 days after surgery. After 15.63 ± 9.92 days of ENPT, 6.43 ± 3.66 endoscopies and 38.75 ± 17.35 days of hospitalization, endoscopic treatment with ENPT combined with minimal-surgery for sepsis-control was effective in seven of eight patients. In one patients treatment was changed to Stent-based therapy combined with further surgical interventions. Conclusions: ENPT is one step in the complication management of patients with anastomotic insufficiencies after oncological gastric resections. It can be recommended in combination with minimal invasive surgery for sepsis-control. Success of ENPT for EJAL seams to be dependent on the age and size of the insufficiency and the clinical situation of the patient.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and assess the role of Porcine Fibrin Sealant (Bioseal®) in preventing cervical anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy in the patients with resectable thoracic esophageal cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer.

A serious and life-threatening complication to rectal surgery is anastomotic leakage, AL. In Denmark, approximately 800 patients every year, are operated for rectal cancer, 50% of these with resection and anastomosis. The registered leakage rate for rectal anastomosis is 10-15%. AL can be life threatening and has long-term adverse effects for the patients, with reduced quality of life, due to a poor functional result of the neo-rectum known as low anterior rectal syndrome (LARS). Fistulas to the vagina or urinary tract are other severe complications. Furthermore, AL is associated with an increased risk of reccurence1. Finally, the AL-associated morbidity is also a significant economic burden to the health care system due to prolonged hospital stay, medicine, and reoperations. During surgery it is important to ensure optimal healing conditions for the anastomosis. The blood flow is evaluated by colour and pulsation in the mesentery. Studies suggest that it might be easier to evaluate the perfusion using fluorescent dye. This evaluation is a subjective evaluation, based mostly on the surgeon's experience. Assessing fluorescence by computer-based software, qICG, has been developed. But cut-off values for sufficient blood flow to diminish the risk of leakage, has not yet been defined. Aim: Primary objective: To establish cut-off values of qICG, where blood flow assumes sufficient for healing, and thereby reduce the risk of leakage. Secondary objective: To identify which long-term complications grade A, B and C leakages entails on Quality of Life.

The main objective is to investigate the effects of perioperative nutrition on postoperative ileus and anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Perioperative enteral nutrition is compared to the standard of care (fasting perioperatively).

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate short-term outcomes of performing intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon neoplasm. Background. Despite advances in laparoscopic approach in colorectal surgery and the clear benefit of this approach over open surgery, the technical difficulty in performing intracorporeal anastomosis causes certain groups continue performing it extracorporeally in right colon surgery. Methods. This study was a prospective multicenter randomized trial with two parallel groups being done intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon neoplasm, carried out between January 2016 and December 2018.

Surgical management results for 114 patients with postoperative peritonitis due to small-bowel perforations, necrosis, and anastomotic leakage were comparatively analyzed. Using the APACHE-II (Acute Physiology, Age, Chronic Health Evaluation) and MPI (Mannheim Peritonitis Index) scoring systems, different surgical approaches were examined in three patient groups (primary anastomosis, delayed anastomosis, and enterostomy).
