The Impact of Transanal Decompression Tube Placement After Colorectal Anastomosis: A Randomized Trial

NCT04890015 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 202

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is currently no standardization in the use of the transanal decompressive tube during the postoperative after a colorectal surgery. The available evidence is based on studies with methodological differences. Most of the studies exclude patients with a diverting ileostomy, which are those patients who have a higher risk of anastomotic leak, so the real effect of transanal decompressive tube could have been masked. For this reason we believe that to assess the true effect of rectal decompression, patients with diverting stoma should be included.

Conditions

  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Postoperative Complications
  • Anastomotic Leak
  • Anastomotic Complication

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intraoperative transanal decompression tube placement

Intraoperatively under direct vision in the lower rectum, the balloon of the catheter will be inflated with 5-10cc of distilled water and it will be secured with a dressing / tape to the buttock connected to a collection bag.
