The Role of Ghost Ileostomy in Laparoscopic Rectal Resection

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Colo-rectal Anastomosis Dehiscence
Interventions
Procedure: Ghost Ileostomy
Registration Number
NCT01861379
Lead Sponsor
University of Roma La Sapienza
Brief Summary

To evaluate if the Ghost Ileostomy is really advantageous in laparoscopy we conducted a prospective randomized controlled study comparing 2 groups of patients undergoing anterior resection of the rectum laparoscopically. In the first group of patients at the end of the procedure was always performed a Ghost Ileostomy while in the second group no protective stoma was built at the end of the intervention.
