About this study

Official title: A Single-Center, Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial Investigating the Impact of Manual Versus Mechanical Intestinal Suturing on the Incidence and Management of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy With Ileal Conduit.

Impact of Manual Versus Mechanical Intestinal Suturing on the Incidence and Management of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Conduit.

Read the detailed description

Currently, no specific trial compares hand-sewn intestinal anastomosis with mechanical stapled anastomosis in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit.

At Fundació Puigvert, approximately one hundred radical cystectomies with ileal conduit are performed annually. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the superiority of either intestinal anastomosis technique, the decision to use hand-sewn versus stapled anastomosis depends on the surgeon's expertise, without considering the potential impact of each technique on postoperative complication rates, surgical time, or functional outcomes.

Currently, no well-designed surgical trials demonstrate differences between hand-sewn and mechanical stapled anastomosis in radical cystectomy regarding intraoperative and postoperative complications. For this reason, the investigators will conduct a trial to assess the impact of each anastomosis technique

What participants receive

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

  • cystectomy with ileal conduit, using mechanical bowel anastomosisProcedure or surgery

    An ileal conduit will be the new storage area for urine once the bladder is removed.

    GIA Device will be used to perform bowel anastomosis

  • cystectomy with ileal conduit, using manual bowel anastomosisProcedure or surgery

    An ileal conduit will be the new storage area for urine once the bladder is removed.

    Vycryl suture will be used to perform manual bowel anastomosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Demonstrate the superiority of manual intestinal suturing versus mechanical suturing, defined as a lower incidence of postoperative digestive complications in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit.

    Compare the incidence of gastrointestinal complications according to the type of suturing used in the creation of the ileo-ileal anastomosis in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit during the hospital admission period and at one-year follow-up.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the predictive factors of postoperative complications.

    Identify the predictive factors of postoperative complications during hospital admission and at one-year follow-up, both overall and according to the type of suturing.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cystectomy with ileal conduit, using mechanical bowel anastomosis and cystectomy with ileal conduit, using manual bowel anastomosis in people with Bladder Cancer and Anastomosis; Complications, run by Fundacio Puigvert 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 Apr 2025. 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?

Demonstrate the superiority of manual intestinal suturing versus mechanical suturing, defined as a lower incidence of postoperative digestive complications in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. (time frame: 1 year). 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 Apr 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
