Filter by:Purpose: To validate the safety and effectiveness of xBar monitoring tool for detection of post-operative anastomotic leaks in subjects undergoing rectal/sigmoid resections with anastomosis. The clinical team is blinded to the leak detection of the xBar system.
A prospective, multi-centre, exploratory and observational one-arm study to evaluate preventive Endoluminal Vacuum Therapy(pEVT) to prevent anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy due to esophageal cancer. The main objective is to evaluate the potential protective effect of prophylactic preemptive endoluminal vacuum therapy on esophageal-gastric anastomosis dehiscence after esophagectomy.
Evaluating the differences between D2 and D3 lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in patients with right cancer colon post-operative outcome, intra-operative blood transfusion, post-operative ICU admission, anastomotic leakage, lymph node harvesting in the final specimen, and six months follow up and overall survival time after 5-years
The main surgical treatment for oesophageal cancer is a curative resection, mostly performed according to Ivor Lewis. However, despite careful work and refined surgical techniques, anastomotic leakage (AL) occurs in more than 1/10 of the patients. This severe complication normally requires immediate intervention, while over the last 10 years, endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has become the crucial therapy for broken-down anastomosis. The hypothesis is that despite suffering a severe complication, the subjective swallow function is not impaired in patients treated by EVT after an anastomotic leak, compared to patients without AL.
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.
Anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious postoperative complications of low rectal cancer, with an incidence of 3%-21%. The occurrence of anastomotic leakage is related to many factors, and the occurrence of anastomotic leakage can be predicted by building a prediction model. Most of the anastomotic leakage prediction models constructed in the past are nomograms, which have limitations in the fitting of model creation. In the previous study, the center took the lead in building a random forest anastomotic leakage prediction model based on machine learning. This study intends to prospectively enroll patients with rectal cancer undergoing anterior abdominal resection and use their clinical data to prospectively verify the efficacy of the anastomotic leakage prediction model, and further improve and promote the prediction model.
Anastomotic dehiscence is the most feared complication in colorectal surgery, occurring in 6.3% -13.7% in patients with pelvic anastomoses [1-4]. This complication significantly increases morbidity, mortality, costs, and generates a greater impact on quality of life. In addition, several studies point to an increased risk of locoregional recurrence [5, 6]. There are different risk factors for anastomotic dehiscence: some preoperative, such as malnutrition or obesity [9]; other intraoperative ones, such as hypoperfusion of the anastomotic tissue or the anastomotic technique; and others postoperative, such as some types of medication [7]. In colorectal anastomoses, there is some concern about the safety of the double stapling technique, since the extremes of the linear suture line (called "dog ears") and the number of staple lines have a direct relationship with the risk of dehiscence [8-11]. With the aim of reducing suture dehiscence rates, different intraoperative techniques have been developed, such as reinforcing the anastomosis with stitches, the use of indocyanine green [12, 13] or the application of anastomotic sealants [14], without finding a definitive solution. Recently, benefits have been published of using the double-staple colorectal anastomosis lateral invagination technique, with the aim of avoiding "dog ears" [15-17]. Several case series and retrospective comparative studies have shown a significant decrease in anastomotic dehiscence using this technique, with all the clinical and economic benefits that this entails [15-17]. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the lateral invagination technique of double-staple colorectal anastomosis in a randomized and controlled trial.
The MA-PPING is a multicenter prospective observational study that includes patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. The study aims to map the oral and gut microbiome of patients diagnosed with pancreatic, esophageal or colorectal cancer during their surgical patient journey from the moment of diagnosis until full recovery (three months after surgery).
The TENTACLE: Rectum study is a multinational retrospective cohort study that includes patients with anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection. The study aims to develop an anastomotic leakage severity score and to evaluate the efficacy of different treatments of anastomotic leakage.
Exploratory study of the efficiency of endoscopic stenting versus endoscopic vacuum therapy in patients with intrathoracic esophago-gastric anastomotic leakage after oncological resection of the esophagus.
