About this study

Official title: Minimally Invasive Open Technique for Ileo-colic Resection in Complex Cases of Terminal Ileum Crohn's Disease. Case Series.

Laparoscopic ileocolic resection is the preferred surgical approach for patients with ileocecal Crohn's disease (CD). Objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a minimally invasive gas-less ileocolic resection in complex cases of CD through a Mc Burney incision, in patients who already had a previous appendectomy.

Read the detailed description

From January 2016 to December 2017, all consecutive CD patients with primary or recurrent complex disease referred for IC resection were evaluated for the study purpose.Complex disease patients presenting McBurney incision for a previous open appendectomy were included in the group of study. This group was compared with a control group of CD patients with the same clinical characteristics of ileocolic disease who underwent standard laparoscopic IC resection, pooled out from the database of IC resections for CD of the Minimally Invasive and Gastrointestinal Surgery Unit of Tor Vergata Hospital, Rome, Italy. Data on demographics, BMI, type and behavior of CD, presence of disease apart from ileocecal site, previous surgery, recurrence, current medical treatment, thickening of the mesentery, preoperative imaging results (MR enterography or small intestine contrast ultrasound), operative time, blood loss, conversion to laparoscopy and conversion to open rates, complications, adherence rate to ERAS protocols and length of hospital stay were collected for the study purpose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn Disease of Ileum, run by University of Roma La Sapienza.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Mean operative time (time frame: 75-156 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 May 2019.
