Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Rate of adverse events occurence of intraoperative and postoperative complications up to 3 months
Secondary device introduction success rate Ability to introduce, deploy and retrieve the Colovac Anastomosis Protection Device in/from the desired location in the colon During surgery
Secondary Device placement success rate Measured by number of successful placement divided by overall placement number During surgery
Secondary Colovac procedure time Procedure duration measured in minutes During surgery
Secondary Migration rate of the Colovac device defined by the number of devices migrated over the anastomosis divided by the number of devices placed During surgical procedure and up to 15 days after placement
Secondary Device retrieval success rate Retrieval success rate measured by number of successful retrieval without complication divided by overall number of retrieval performed At 14 days after device placement
Secondary rate of digestive disorders Measured as number of patients presenting digestive disorders divided by overall number of patients up to 15 days after surgery
Secondary level of patient comfort measured using NIH's PROMIS health measurement questionnaires measures using health measurement questionnaires to assess parameters like pain (visual analogue scale - 1 : no pain - 10 : worse pain ever); bowel incontinence (visual analogue scale - 1 : no incontinence - 10 : uncontrollable incontinence), diarrhea (visual analogue scale - 1 : no pain - 10 : worse pain ever); bowel incontinence (visual analogue scale - 1 : no diarrhea - 10 : more than 3 episodes of diarrhea per day) up to 15 days after surgery
Secondary occurence of anastomosis leakage measured as mean number of anastomosis leakage episodes per patient up to 3 months after initial surgery
Secondary occurrence of anastomosis fistula measured as mean number of anastomosis fisutal episodes per patient up to 3 months after initial surgery
Secondary occurrence of anastomotic abcesses measured as mean number of anastomosis abcess episodes per patient up to 3 months after initial surgery
