Evaluation of Delayed Coloanal Anastomosis

NCT04248634 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

After rectal resection for cancer of the lower rectum, the restoration of continuity is done by a colo-anal anastomosis with a protective ileostomy. However, the ileostomy is very little accepted by patients. It is associated with significant morbidity and a deterioration in the quality of life.

Delayed colo-anal anastomosis has been proposed as an alternative to direct colo-anal anastomosis with a protective ileostomy. The theoretical advantage of this technique is to reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks and to avoid ileostomy.

In this study, the investigators will retrospectively evaluate the short and midterm results of this technique.

Conditions

  • Rectal Neoplasms

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Delayed colo-anal anastomosis

Colo-anal anastomosis performed in two surgical steps: \- Step one: the colon is exteriorized transanally and 5 cm of the colon is left outside without anastomosis creation. Step two: after 7 days, the excess colon is resected and the colo-anal anastomosis is created.
