Difference of Surgical Site Infection Between Using Sodium Picosulfate Solution(PicosolutionⓇ) and Oral Sulfate Tablet(ORA·FANGⓇ) in Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Registration Number
NCT04593446
Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Center, Korea
Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized study to evaluate the difference in the rate of surgical site infection between the patients who used Sodium Picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ) and tablet Oral Sulphate Solution(ORA·FANGⓇ) for bowel preparation before colorectal cancer surgery .

Detailed Description

It has been reported that tablet oral sulphate solution(ORA·FANGⓇ) showed a successful bowel cleansing rate of 95.5%, which is similar to compared to sodium picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ).

In terms of the rate of surgical site infection(SSI), sodium picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ) showed 8% of SSI rate. However there is no report for the SSI rate of tablet oral sulphate solution(ORA·FANGⓇ). We aimed to compare the SSI rates between these two group.

Oral Sulfate Tablet(ORA·FANGⓇ)Oral Sulfate Tablet(ORA·FANGⓇ)Subjects who are randomized into experimental arm will receive 14 pills at 8 pm in the evening 2days before the surgery and another 14 pills on 6am in the morning 1day before the surgery
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The rate of surgical site infection30 days

The operator will evaluate the rate of the surgical site infection during the postoperative hospitalization period or the first outpatient visit after surgery. We will use the definition of surgical site infection published in 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The quality of the bowel preparationduring surgery

The operator will evaluate he quality of the bowel preparation using Arohchick bowel preparation scale during the surgery.

Aronchick scale Excellent:5, good:4, fair:3, poor:2, inadequate:1

The patient's tolerability for bowel preparation1 day after bowel preparation

Using questionnaire, the tolerance will be scored after bowel preparation

Tolerability score Very comfortable: 5 Comfortable: 4 Fair: 3 Uncomfortable: 2 Very uncomfortable: 1
