About this study

Official title: Efifcacy and Safety of Anastomotic Leak Testing in Gastric Cancer: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Anastomotic leak after radical gastrectomy is a serious complication. Intraoperative leak testing was often used to assess the integrity of the anastomosis. However, the reliability, clinical benefits and safety of intraoperative leak testing are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effect and safety of intraoperative leak testing, and to compare the surgical complications of patients in intraoperative leak testing group with patients in non-intraoperative leak testing group.

Anastomotic leak after radical gastrectomy is a serious complication. Intraoperative leak testing was often used to assess the integrity of the anastomosis. However, the reliability, clinical benefits and safety of intraoperative leak testing are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effect and safety of intraoperative leak testing, and to compare the surgical complications of patients in intraoperative leak testing group with patients in non-intraoperative leak testing group. patients underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with esophagojejunostomy reconstruction.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Introperative leak testingProcedure or surgery

    After anastomosis was completed. We test the integrity of anastomosis intraoperatively.

Study groups in NCT04292496
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intraperative leak testing groupExperimentali) the integrity of the anastomosis can be directly observed under gastroscopy. ii) the distal of Roux limb was temporarily blocked, then the bowel of anastomosis was inflated by air, following 60 milliliter methylene blue.
Receives: Procedure: Introperative leak testing
Non-intraoperative leak testing groupNo interventionNon intraoperative leak testing was performed intraoperatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anastomotic leakage

    all patients underwent upper gastrointestinal radiography after surgery for detecting the integrity of anastomosis. X-ray to detect the integrity of the anastomosis

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative surgical complications

    Any surgical complication that occured postoperatively

    Measured: 3 months
