Hybrid-everted Versus Hand-sewn or Stapled Esophagogastrostomy in Prevention of Anastomotic Stricture

June 7, 2010 updated by: Sichuan University

Phase III Study of Hybrid-everted Versus Hand-sewn of Stapled Esophagogastrostomy in Prevention of Anastomotic Stricture

The investigators improved the hybrid everted esophagogastrostomy and expected to prevent the incidence of anastomotic stricture. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical value of this kind of operation type, and analyzes the clinicopathological factors causing the postoperative complications.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This randomized clinical trial compared a hybrid everted esophagogastric anastomosis with conventional hand-sewn or stapled esophagogastrostomy for prevention of anastomotic stricture. The patients were completely randomized to receive either a hybrid everted esophagogastric anastomosis (HE group), or the conventional hand-sewn (HS group), or a stapled (SA group) anastomosis, after the removal of esophageal tumor. The primary outcome measured the incidence of anastomotic stricture at 3 months after the operation (defined as the diameter of the anastomotic orifice <= 0.8 cm on esophagogram), analyzed by intention-to-treat.
