Surgical-Site Infection After Laparoscopic Right Colectomy

NCT04350203 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 108

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis seems to be associated with several short-term benefits. It could reduce the postoperative infection rate and shorten the hospital stay.

This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rate after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis, compared to extracorporeal anastomoses.

Conditions

  • Surgical Site Infection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (IA)

First, the right colon dissection was completed by laparoscopy. An isoperistaltic side-to-side ileocolonic mechanical anastomosis was then performed by using a linear cutting stapler. The enterotomy used to enter the stapler was closed with a running suture (3-0 absorbable monofilament or a 3-0 barbed suture). Finally, the specimen was extracted through a Pfannenstiel mini-laparotomy (4-5 cm).

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic right colectomy with extracorporeal anastomosis (EA)

First, the right colon was widely mobilized. A small laparotomy was performed in the mid/upper abdomen to exteriorize the colon and to perform a side-to-side mechanical anastomosis, using a linear cutting stapler (GIA). The bowel opening was closed either with a manual suture or by a second firing of the GIA.
