Official title
Anastomotic Bleeding in Primary Double-stapled Colorectal Anastomosis Relating to the Placement of the Stapler Spike to the Staple Line
Overview
Each colorectal anastomosis is routinely evaluated intraoperatively by sigmoidoscopy and, in the presence of signs of bleeding, also postoperatively (persistent rectal bleeding within 24 hours after surgery).
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of anastomotic bleeding in double-stapled anastomoses in relation to the position of the trocar relative to the rectal staple line (on the mesenteric side of the rectal staple line versus opposite the mesenteric side).
Primary outcome measures
- Intraoperative intraluminal anastomotic bleeding [Time frame: during surgery until getting the patient is out of the OR]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Postoperative bleeding [Time frame: Postoperative]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria

- Documented anastomotic orientation (mesenteric vs. antimesenteric)
Exclusion criteria
- TME
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
