About this study

Official title: The Effects of Temporary Ileostomy on Outcome in Patients With Rectal Cancer, A Prospective Comparative Cohort Study

The purpose of this prospective comparative cohort study was to assess the effect of protective ileostomy on the outcomes of patients with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior rectal (LAR) resection in patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer of both sexes and all ages that required low anterior resection(LAR) attending the Department of General Surgery at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia-Syria during the two years (May 2021- May 2023). the main question to answer is does protective ileostomy reduce leakage, SSI rate, and duration of hospitalization in patients with colorectal cancer. . Patients are divided into two groups: group 1: patients who underwent ileostomy (19 patients), and group 2 is the comparative group: patients who didn't (28 patients). Morbidity and mortality were compared between the two groups, to study the outcomes of protective ileostomy

Read the detailed description

Anastomotic leakage is encountered frequently after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery, which is considered one of the potentially lethal complications, affecting the quality of life and increasing hospital costs. The role of a protective stoma has been debated. Therefore, The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of protective ileostomy on the outcomes of patients with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior rectal (LAR) resection.

This is a prospective comparative study of a group of patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer of both sexes and all ages that required low anterior resection(LAR) attending the Department of General Surgery at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia-Syria during the two years (May 2021- May 2023). The exclusion criteria were patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection with permanent ileostomy. The following workup included: a history and physical examination.

Preparation of the bowel was performed before surgery with the administration of intravenous perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The surgical procedure was performed by laparotomy, with resection of the rectum and mesorectum (TME) up to the level of the pelvic diaphragm, sparing the autonomic nerves. End-to-end anastomosis was performed either with a stapler or by hand-sewn. Patients were assigned to group I (19 patients) who had undergone temporary ileostomy, and group II (28 patients) who didn't undergo ileostomy. Patients were followed up at regular intervals and outcomes were compared between two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Rate of Anastomosis leakage

    Anastomosis leakage is defined as the unintended escape of gastrointestinal contents from the site of surgical anastomosis, typically occurring after a low anterior rectal (LAR) resection. It is a critical postoperative complication that can lead to various adverse effects, including peritonitis, abscess formation, and increased morbidity. The evaluation of anastomosis leakage involves careful monitoring for clinical signs, diagnostic imaging, and, if necessary, interventions such as reoperation or drainage procedures. The occurrence and management of anastomosis leakage serve as a key primary outcome measure in this study, contributing valuable insights into the efficacy and safety of the protective ileostomy intervention

    Measured: up to 2 weeks post operatively

  2. The Rate of Surgical Site Infection

    Surgical Site Infection is a postoperative complication characterized by the invasion of microorganisms into the surgical incision or the deeper tissues surrounding the operative site. In the context of this study, the evaluation of SSI involves monitoring for clinical signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge, and may require additional diagnostic assessments. The occurrence of Surgical Site Infection is a critical parameter, impacting patient recovery, healthcare costs, and overall postoperative morbidity. As a primary outcome measure, the study aims to comprehensively assess the incidence and characteristics of SSI, providing crucial insights into the effectiveness of the protective ileostomy intervention.

    Measured: up to 6 weeks post operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing protective ileostomy in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Latakia University at 1 site in Syria.

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 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 30 Apr 2024. 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 Syria. 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?

The Rate of Anastomosis leakage (time frame: up to 2 weeks post operatively). The study lists 2 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?
