Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of stent-based tiverting technique (SDT) versus ileostomy in rectal cancer patients. After the removal of the rectal tumor, participants who are at high risk for anastomotic leakage will either undergo SDT or ileostomies. Researchers will compare SDT to see if SDT could help patients save hospital stays, lower medical costs, and enhance their quality of life, and not alternatively avoid defunction stoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In patients with rectal cancer who have a high risk of anastomotic leakage, we aim to compare the safety and effectiveness of SDT versus ileostomy in this study. The primary endpoint of the study was severe complications that occurred within 90 days of the surgery. The secondary endpoints included total complications, the incidence of coloanal anastomotic leakage (Grade B/C), postoperative hospital stay and cost, and postoperative quality of life evaluation.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The patients who were enrolled will either undergo ileostomy or SDT after the removal of the rectal tumor, which will be decided by chance.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
The masking in this study is inappropriate because the patients in the SDT group do not have an abdominal stoma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stent-based Diverting Technique

For Stent-based Diverting Technique, the small intestine measuring 15 cm from the ileocecal junction was pulled out through the median incision in the lower abdomen. After a length-wise incision was established in the mesenteric margin of the small intestine, the degradable stent was implanted, and the intestine was sutured. Then, the stent was held in place using an external tie around the bowel. Next, a mushroom-like tube (28 Fr) was placed into the intestine proximal (5-10 cm) to the aforementioned stent. The other side of the mushroom-like tube was inserted through the right lower abdominal wall and connected with a drainage bag. An abdominal drainage tube, or an anal tube, if necessary, was inserted in the proper location prior to the closure of the incision and the abdominal cavity. Abdominal X-ray was routinely performed every week to detect stent degradation, and the mushroom-like tube (28 Fr) was removed two days after stent degradation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stent-based Diverting Technique

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The stent-based diverting technique (SDT) contains two parts to achieve feces diversion One is a degradable solid intestinal stent to be implanted 20 cm from the terminal ileum and could be gradually degraded within 3-4 weeks. Another part is a drainage tube to be placed at the proximal 5-10 cm of the aforementioned stent. Given this SDT, intestinal contents could be diverted through the drainage tube, and the stent prevents the feces from entering the distal intestinal. After removing the drainage tube after 3-4 weeks, intestinal contents will freely access the distal intestinal space following the degradation of the stent. For patients, stoma reversal is avoided.

Ileostomy

There will be an ileostomy for the control group. An incision with a diameter of 2 cm will be performed in the lower abdomen, and layers will be separated into the abdominal cavity. The intestine, 20cm to the ileocecal juction under laparoscopic vision, will be pulled out. The anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis and the serous layer of the intestine will be sutured with an absorbable line. Then, the middle point of the mesangial margin of the intestine will be transected, and the intestine will be fixed on the skin. No volvulus or angular formation of the intestine should be confirmed laparoscopically.
