Abstract
440 patients were prospectively enrolled in a randomized, multicenter trial to compare 4 types of manual (84 interrupted end-to-end, 77 continuous end-to-side) 82 interrupted end-to-side, and 91 continuous end-to-side (polyglycolic derived suture) and 1 type of stapled (106 side-to-side with GIA + TA devices) ileocolonic anastomosis after right hemicolectomy for carcinoma. The trial was designed according to Schwartz' pragmatic formulation. All 5 groups were well-matched, except for a lower rate of intraoperative sepsis in the stapled group (PP<0.02). Le principal résultat était le lachâge d'anastomose détecté cliniquement ou par un lavement de routine aux produits hydrosolubles au 8–10ème jour post-opératoire. Les résultats montraient que les anastomoses mécaniques étaient associées avec moins de lachage d'anastomose (2,8%) que toutes les autres techniques (8,3%). En dépit du fait que les anastomoses mécaniques sont approximativement 10 fois plus chères, nos résultats suggèrent qu'il faut réaliser des anastomoses latéro-larérales (GIA + TA) mécaniques après hémi-colectomie droite pour cancer.Keywords
