Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the safety and efficacy of gastrointestinal anastomosis with nickel titanium shape memory alloy compression anastomosis clip.
METHODS:We randomized 51 patients to undergo gastrointestinal anastomosis with stapler (n=25) and nickel titanium compression anastomosis clip (n=26) respectively. The following parameters were recorded to evaluate the safety and efficacy: mean hospitalization time, anastomotic complication, first post-operation flatus and bowel movement, and extrusion of the clip.
RESULTS:Anastomotic complications such as leakage, stenosis and obstruction were not observed in both groups. There were no significant differences in the first post-operation flatus time and bowel movement time between the 2 groups (P>0.05). The clip was expelled with stool within 9-15 d.
CONCLUSION:Compression anastomosis clip is safe and effective.
