No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to check if there is a difference in peritoneal contamination in patients undergoing rectal resection with closed and open rectal stump prior to anastomosing.

Conditions

  • Bacterium-Related Malignant Neoplasm

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Closed stump

Before cutting the bowel, a peritoneal sample for bacterial culture is taken from the peritoneal cavity (pelvic pouch). Anastomosis is performed while a bowel clamp is placed on the rectal stump. A second bacterial sample is obtained at the completion of the anastomosis from the same place (pelvic pouch) as the first one.
