About this study

Official title: A Randomised Controlled Trial On Mechanical Bowel Preparation Versus No Mechanical Bowel Preparation In Elective Laparoscopic Surgery For Left Sided Colonic Tumours

This is a Randomized trial on Mechanical Bowel Preparation in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. In this trial patients with left sided colon and rectal tumors were randomized to receive mechanical bowel preparation or no preparation to assess postoperative complications and outcome

Read the detailed description

In this prospective randomized trial,patients were randomized to receive mechanical bowel preparation or no preparation to assess postoperative complications and outcome following elective laparoscopic surgery for left sided colon and rectal tumors. Randomization is done from the out -patient department at the time of admission, using random numbers from a computer generated list from a sealed envelope method.

Patients who did not have mechanical bowel preparation had a normal meal on the day before the operation. Those who did were given a fluid diet, and mechanical bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol one day prior to surgery.

Both groups will have the scheduled laparoscopic colonic resections. Use of diverting stoma is left to the discretion of the operating surgeon. Cases that needed a diverting stoma, will be analyzed separately.

    Measured: 30 days

  4. drain removal

    postoperative day of drain removal

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Re-exploration

    Any intervention radiological or surgical due to procedure related complications

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Hospital stay

    postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Readmission

    admission to hospital after discharge due to any reasons

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

anastomotic leak (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01797770, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
