Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: From October 2012 to February 2021, 688 patients presented to the emergency room with a clinical diagnosis of PPU underwent surgery in our hospital. Five hundred and ninety-seven patients were operated in an open approach including 21 patients who were given laparoscopic surgery initially but then intraoperatively converted to laparotomy because the large perforation site cannot be primarily repaired, or the perforation site was difficult to identified or approached. The remaining 91 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair were included in this study.

Who may be able to join

  • The patients with clinical diagnosis of PPU underwent laparoscopic repair surgery.

Who cannot join

  • The patients received surgery in an open approach or underwent laparoscopy initially but then intraoperatively converted to laparotomy.

About this study

Official title: Whether Peritoneal Irrigation Intra-operatively Effects on the Outcome After Laparoscopic Surgery for Peptic Ulcer Perforation

Despite advances in laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU), intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) is recognized as one of the commonly reported complications with relation to the extent of infectious abdominal contamination. Herein, the investigators report their experience of laparoscopic surgery for PPU with/without peritoneal irrigation and discuss postoperative outcome. The investigators retrospectively examined the electronic medical records of the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer at a single medical center in Taiwan between January 2013 and August 2021. Retrospectively, the investigators would include those patients with clinical diagnosis of PPU who underwent emergent laparoscopic surgery. The patients with previous abdominal surgery, pathologic confirmed malignant ulcer perforation or concomitant ulcer bleeding were excluded. The investigators focused on post-operative complications and outcome after laparoscopic surgery with or without peritoneal irrigation. This information can be important in improving surgical options with respect to risk and potential benefits in this setting.

What participants receive

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

  • Peritoneal irrigationProcedure or surgery

    For patients allocated to the irrigation group, peritoneal lavage was performed at the surgeon's discretion based on surgical findings and preference.

  • Suction onlyProcedure or surgery

    In the suction only group, one surgical gauze each was placed in the splenophrenic space and Morison's pouch to soak up any remaining purulent fluid followed by turning the patient into the Trendelenburg position for inspection of the lower abdominal cavity. Any interloop adhesions were carefully divided and the gauze-wiping maneuver was used to soak up the residual peritoneal fluid, and all bowel loops were investigated to the root of the mesentery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intraabdominal Abscess After Procedure and Leakage, run by Chang Wei-Jung.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 7 Dec 2021. 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?

Short-term outcome with wound infection, pneumonia, leakage, and intraabdominal abscess (time frame: Through hospitalization, an average of 8 days). 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 7 Dec 2021.
