Randomized Study Comparing Two Established Gastrointestinal Suture Techniques - One-layer-continuous Versus Double-layer-continuous Suture

Randomized Trial to Compare Two Gastrointestinal Anastomosis Techniques - Single Layer Continuous Versus Double Layer Continuous

• Status: Terminated
• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 252 (actual)
• Sponsor: Universitätsmedizin Mannheim · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the frequency of postoperative complications depending on the number of suture layers in colo-colonic and ileo-colonic anastomoses Hypothesis: double-layer suture has less anastomotic leakages compared to single-layer suture.

Conditions

• Colo-colonic Anastomoses
• Ileo-colonic Anastomoses

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	double layer-suture	Hand-sutured end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis performed by double-layer continuous technique (monofil thread)
PROCEDURE	Single-layer suture	Hand-sutured end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis performed by single-layer continuous technique (monofil thread)
