Stapled Anastomosis Versus Hand-sewn for Neonate With Intestinal Atresia (SAVSHA)

November 26, 2018 updated by: zebing Zheng, Zunyi Medical College

Comparing Stapled Anastomosis With Hand-sewn in Neonate With Intestinal Atresia

Neonatal intestinal atresia is the most difficult disease to apply stapled anastomosis. However, there are no high-quality clinical trial to verify its effectiveness. Therefore, the investigators compared the outcomes of stapled and hand-sewn anastomosis in neonate with intestinal atresia.

Detailed Description

Intestinal anastomosis in neonates with intestinal atresia has traditionally been performed using the hand-sewn end-to-end approach. After the introduction of stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) in neonates and infants by Powell in 1995, the procedure is gradually being accepted among pediatric surgeons. When treating intestinal atresia, great discrepancy between diameters of the proximal and distal intestine caused by disuse atrophy are often observed, which may cause difficulties and complications. To overcome size discrepancy, proficiency in performing anastomosis is required when using hand-sewn techniques. in theory, stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis does not require a special technique and does not impair the passage of intestinal contents immediately after completion because the side-to-side nature of the procedure retains the unique diameter of the target intestine and preserves patency. Stapled side-to-side functional end-to-end intestinal anastomosis is a potentially useful technique that is not affected by intestinal size discrepancy and does not require specialized surgical experience.To date, there have been a few studies about the safety and efficacy of stapled anastomosis in neonates and infants, which reported the efficacy of stapled over hand-sewn anastomosis, including shorter operative time, time to full feeding and hospitalization, and no difference in adverse outcomes between both types of anastomoses. These studies compared the clinical outcomes in neonates and infants. However,there are no high-quality clinical trials to verify its effectiveness. Therefore, the investigators compared the outcomes of stapled FEEA and hand-sewn anastomosis in neonate with intestinal atresia.

Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 day to 1 month (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients were eligible if they were between 1 day and 30 days of age, and if they suffered from intestinal atresia.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • These patients were complicated with intestinal perforation and peritonitis, instability of vital signs.
  • Stapled anastomosis could not be performed when the intestinal lumen could not admit a 22-Fr soft catheter.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: stapled anastomosis group
Following the first side-to-side anastomosis at the antimesenteric border in both intestinal limbs, the staple lines are oversewn to reinforce the crotch. Thereafter, the stapler is again fired across the joined intestinal limbs to close the enterotomies. The suture line of the side-to-side anastomosis should not overlap, and the staple lines are oversewn to reinforce the double-stapled areas.
Procedure: Endocutter stapler
Endocutter ETS 35, ETS Flex 45 stapler, and the Echelon Flex Powered ENDOPATH Stapler with 2.5- or 3.5-mm staples (Johnson & Johnson K.K., Tokyo, Japan)
Active Comparator: hand-sewn anastomosis group
Patients chose HA group will performed in an end-to-end manner using absorbable suture material.
Procedure: suture material
absorbable suture material is used to perform hand-sewn anastomosis in an end-to-end manner.
