Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic compression anastomosis clip (LapCAC) for laparoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis.
METHODSIn March, 2007, three gastric cancer patients undergone total gastrectomy (1 case) and distal gastrectomy (2 cases) received laparoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis with LapCAC. The gastrointestinal anastomotic complications, first post-operational flatus, bowel movement and extrusion of clip device were observed.
RESULTSNo anastomotic complications such as leakage or obstruction were found. The clip was expelled with stool within 12-18 days. All the patients had good results in recovery of bowel function.
CONCLUSIONLapCAC is safe and simple for laparoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis.
