Safety & Efficacy of a Novel Asymmetrical Linear Stapler (NALS) for Securing Distal Resection Margin in Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery: Pilot Study
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Novel asymmetrical linear stapler: Novel asymmetrical linear stapler
Signia™: Signia™
Study summary
Through the use of a novel asymmetrical linear stapler (NALS, Meditulip co. Ltd.), we aim to prove that true distal margins greater than 1cm may be harvested more readily and easily compared to the conventional staplers. The study is designed as a pilot RCT of 30 patients in each group, with the primary outcome of distal margin length \>1cm. Secondary outcomes include anastomosis dehiscence and time taken to harvest the distal margin.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- True distal margin length > 1cm — Intraoperative
True distal margin: The length of tissue from the distal edge of the specimen to the distal tumor margin in the surgical specimen
