Intracorporeal Anastomosis Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis for Left Colon Cancer

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Colon Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: laparoscopic assisted left colectomy
Procedure: total laparoscopic left colectomy
Registration Number
NCT04201717
Lead Sponsor
Jilin University
Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of intracorporeal anastomosis and extracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic-assisted radical left hemicolectomy on surgical site infection. Also consider perioperative recovery, safety, and oncology outcomes.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. In this trial, cases in the intracorporeal anastomosis group and the extracorporeal anastomosis group are allocated at a 1:1 ratio among patients undergoing laparoscopic radical left hemicolectomy. The peri-operative recovery data, complications, oncology outcomes, and survival are compared.

laparoscopic assisted left colectomylaparoscopic assisted left colectomyAll patients underwent laparoscopic dissection according to the left hemicolon cancer resection standard. lymph nodes and blood vessels, are completely trimmed and resected in an en bloc fashion. The patients in the control group underwent with the traditional laparoscopic assisted technology. The free colon was taken out through a small incision in the middle of the abdomen or the outer edge of the left rectus abdominis. The mesentery was trimmed, the specimens were removed, and the anastomosis was completed.After the anastomosis, the whole surgical area was flushed and drainage tubes were left.
total laparoscopic left colectomytotal laparoscopic left colectomyAll patients underwent laparoscopic dissection according to the left hemicolon cancer resection standard. lymph nodes and blood vessels, are completely trimmed and resected in an en bloc fashion.In the experimental group, the mesentery was endoscopically trimmed, the specimens were excised and the anastomosis was completed under the laparoscope. The specimens were taken out through trocar incision in the navel or in the right lower abdomen. After the anastomosis, the whole surgical area was flushed and drainage tubes were left.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Count of Participants With Surgical Site Infection (SSI)one month after surgery

The primary outcome was the incidence of SSI based on the Definitions of CDC guidelines: superficial incisional, deep incisional, and organ/space infections . Infections involving both organ/space and the incisional site (superficial or deep) were categorized as organ/space infections. Surgeons and nurses assessed the presence of infection daily during hospitalization. After hospital discharge, all patients were followed up until 30 days after surgery at outpatient clinics to check the wound.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the Blood Lossone hour after surgery

It is defined as the blood loss during operation and is measured in milliliters.

the Operating Timeone hour after surgery

It is defined as the period from cutting the skin to suturing the skin or doing enterostomy. It is measured in minutes

The Rate of Conversion to Open Surgeryone hour after surgery

It is defined as an abdominal incision larger than that necessary for specimen extraction.

First Defecation Timeone week after surgery

time to first defecate, measured in days.

Postoperative Hospital Stayone month after surgery

The length of hospital stay after surgery.

the Incidence of Complicationsone month after surgery

It includes fever of unknown origin, bowel obstruction, anastomotic leakage, SSI, other incisional complications, respiratory complications, urinary complications, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, diarrhea, chylous fistula, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, digestive hemorrhage, gastroparesis, and others (including bacteremia, cholecystitis, ion discharge, pancreatitis, and mental and behavioral abnormalities). Complications are graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Completeness of Specimensone hour after surgery

It is evaluated according to the West classification. The resected specimens will be classified into three groups according to the plane of dissection: mesocolic plane, intramesocolic plane, and muscularis propria plane.

Number of Lymph Nodes Dissectedone week after surgery

The number of lymph nodes in the mesentery will be calculated. Additionally, the metastatic lymph nodes will be counted.

the Incision Lengthone hour after surgery

The incision length is measured with an aseptic ruler at the end of the surgery, after the incision is sutured. It is measured in millimeters.

Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS)2 days after surgery

Pain severity was assessed 48 hours after the operation using a ruler about 10 cm long. The ruler is numbered from 0 to 10. 0-3 points indicate no to mild pain. 4-6 points represent moderate pain. 7-10 points stand for severe pain.

3-year DFS (Disease-free Survival)three years after the operation

DFS was defined as the time from randomization until the discovery of local recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from the tumor.

5-year OS (Overall Survival)five years after the operation

OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

First Time for Fluid Dietone week after surgery

time to start food intake, measured in days
