Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and efficacy of compression anastomosis clip(CAC) for small bowel anastomosis.
METHODSForty gastric cancer patients undergoing total gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups and received side-to-side Roux-en-Y small bowel anastomosis with CAC or stapler. The following parameters were recorded: small bowel anastomotic complication, first post-operation flatus and bowel movement, extrusion of clip device.
RESULTSNeither group had small bowel anastomotic complications such as leakage or obstruction. The clip was expelled with stool within 9-16 days. Two groups had the similar results in recovery of bowel function.
CONCLUSIONCAC is safe and simple for small bowel anastomosis.
