About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial to Reduce the Superficial Surgical Site Infection Due to a Contralateral Drainage Application in Loop Ileostomy Closure

  1. Introduction: The most common complication of loop ileostomies closure for rectal cancer patients undergoing a low anterior rectum resection, is the superficial surgical site infection (incidence 2-40%). There are various techniques related to closing loop ileostomy. In a retrospective study at our center, the investigators objectify that superficial surgical site infection rate was reduced by more than a half by the application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in primary loop ileostomy closure.
  2. Objectives and Hypothesis: Hypothesis: The application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in primary loop ileostomy closure (in carriers of loop ileostomy by a low anterior rectum resection for rectal cancer) reduces the superficial surgical site infection. Main objective: To reduce the rate of superficial surgical site infection by the application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in surgical wound of primary loop ileostomy closure.
  3. Methodology:

Prospective and randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness of contralateral Penrose® drainage implementation in those patients that have a primary loop ileostomy (by low anterior rectum resection) closure to be able to know if the investigators can reduce the superficial surgical site infection rate. Monitorization until 30 days after surgery

  1. Introduction: The most common complication of loop ileostomies closure for rectal cancer patients undergoing a low anterior rectum resection, is the superficial surgical site infection (incidence 2-40%). In the literature there are various techniques related to closing loop ileostomy that try to reduce the rate of infections recorded. In a retrospective study at our center, the investigators objectify that superficial surgical site infection rate was reduced by more than a half by the application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in primary loop ileostomy closure.
  2. Objectives and Hypothesis: Hypothesis: The application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in primary loop ileostomy closure (in carriers of loop ileostomy by a low anterior rectum resection for rectal cancer) reduces the superficial surgical site infection. Main objective: To reduce the rate of superficial surgical site infection by the application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ®) in surgical wound of primary loop ileostomy closure. Secondary objectives:
  • Identify risk factors associated with superficial surgical site infection in relation to a primary loop ileostomy closure (with or without drainage).
  • Reducing hospital stay and care at home.
  1. Methodology:

Prospective and randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness of contralateral Penrose® drainage implementation in those patients that have a primary loop ileostomy (by low anterior rectum resection) closure to be able to know if the investigators can reduce the superficial surgical site infection rate.

It will be used a simple randomization. To assess the occurrence of superficial incisional infection, the investigators will be monitoring patients till 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing application of a contralateral drainage (Penrose ® device) in people with Surgical Wound Infection, run by Corporacion Parc Tauli at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2019. 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 Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of patients with surgical site infection after ileostomy closure depending if there is or not a penrose drainage application (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 NCT02574702, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Apr 2019.
