About this study

Official title: Defunctioning Cannula Ileostomy After Lower Anterior Resection of Rectal Cancer.

Most surgeons suggest the use of fecal diverting to address the high morbidity and mortality associated with anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients with high risk factors on AL who are undergoing anterior resections. Although debate about the use of defunctioning stoma continues, meta-analyses and randomized multicenter trial results support the use of defunctioning stoma in lower anterior resection(LAR). This exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new diversion method called spontaneously closed cannula ileostomy (SCCI), which was designed to protect rectal anastomosis in patients with high risk factors on AL. Results of SCCI were compared to those of the loop ileostomy (LI) method.

Read the detailed description

After low anterior resection(LAR), in the LI group, the operation method was done as surgeons all known. In the cannula ileostomy group, a double row of concentric purse-string sutures were placed in the ileum wall using 3-0 absorbable suture. The diameters of the purse-string rings were about 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The investigators then made a small incision within the inner purse-string and inserted the trachea cannula into the proximal end of the ileum. The inner purse-string suture then was tied, followed by the outer purse-string suture. The outer purse string should capsulate the inner purse string to prevent leakage. Normal saline was injected into the air bag until the ileum wall began to turn pale. The investigators then pulled the cannula out through the abdominal wall. The incision site in the ileum was approximated to the inner abdominal wall and extraperitonized by fixing the mobilized ileum wall around the cannula to the inner abdominal wall. This was accomplished using 3-4 interrupted sutures.

In the LI group, patients accepted reversal operation at least 3 months after operation if operation condition permission.

In the cannula ileostomy group, the cannula will be removed after 3-4 weeks. If anastomotic leakage occurred, The investigators will keep the cannula until the anastomotic leakage was cured.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. anastomotic leakage, reoperation and mortality rate

    Anastomotic leakage(AL) is the main complication after LAR.AL is defined as a defect of intestinal wall integrity at the colorectal or coloanal anastomotic site (including suture and staple lines of the neorectal reservoirs) leading to communication between intra- and extraluminal compartments. When AL occurred, whether this patient need reoperation is determined by the clinical manifestation. Reoperation rate and mortality are two key index to evaluate the effect and safety of cannula ileostomy.

    Measured: about in 3 months after operaion.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ileus rate

    Another main operation complication was intestinal obstruction. Ileus conclude two types: temporally ileus and intractable ileus. Temporally ileus can be treated by conservative treatment and intractable ileus need reoperation.Ileus usually is caused by intestinal adhesion. But in cannula ileostomy group, ileus maybe caused by the cannula obstruction.

    Measured: during the follow time(about 6 months after operaion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cannula ileostomy, loop ileostomy and LAR in people with Rectal Neoplasms, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

anastomotic leakage, reoperation and mortality rate (time frame: about in 3 months after operaion.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
