Assessment of the Leakage Rate of Ileo-colic Sutured Anastomoses Using a Polydioxanone Based Suture Material After Laparoscopic or Open Right Hemicolectomy to Treat Malignancy
The primary aim of the study is to show that the ileo-colic anastomosis leakage rate until the first 30 days after surgery using MonoPlus® suture material for anastomosis construction after right hemicolectomy is not inferior to the anastomosis leakage rate published in the literature for totally handsewn or stapled-handsewn ileo-colic anastomosis.
• Patients undergoing a primary, elective either open or laparoscopic right hemicolectomy or right extended hemicolectomy due to malignancy with the creation of an intracorporeal or extracorporeal ileo-colic anastomosis.
• Either complete hand-sewn anastomosis or partial sutured anastomosis (e.g. combination of stapling and suturing)
• Open or laparoscopic as well as conversion from open to laparoscopic surgery
• Absence of peritoneal carcinomatosis
• Absence of vascular, nervous or bone infiltration
• Age ≥ 18 years
