Detailed Description

The bilioenteric anastomosis is one of the most common and difficult operations in Hepatobiliary Surgery. The traditional manual anastomosis has become one of the main prognosis factors because of the length of suture time, the difficulty of operation, the high incidence of anastomotic leakage and stricture. Magnetic compressive anastomosis can realize the fast anastomosis, reduce the difficulty, and reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage and stricture. Currently, the majority of studies of magnetic compressive bilioenteric anastomosis are merely confined within clinical case report and single-center, small sample, retrospective study. This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. To evaluate the security, reliability and convince of magnetic compressive bilioenteric anastomosis versus traditional suture method on incidence of anastomotic leakage and stricture between magnetic compressive anastomosis and traditional manual anastomosis among patients who need bilioenteric anastomosis operation. The study is to enroll about 200 patients and divide into Study Group (Group A: Magnetic compressive anastomosis) and Control Group (Group B: traditional manual anastomosis) as 1:1 ratio randomly by stratification factors. The incidence of anastomotic leakage and stricture, length of bilioenteric anastomosis time, value of serum bilirubin, length of discharge time of magnetic device and mean time of hospital stay will be evaluated. The patients will drop out of the study if adverse events happen, active request for dropping out, new-onset severe disease or death. The primary and secondary end point will be observed by regular follow-up.

Interventions

  • Procedure: Magnetic Compressive Anastomosis
    • The magnetic compressive anastomosis will be used to complete the anastomosis during bilioenteric anastomosis.
  • Procedure: Manual Anastomosis
    • A handsewn technique will be used to complete the anastomosis during bilioenteric anastomosis.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Magnetic Compressive Anastomosis
    • A magnetic device will be used during bilioenteric anastomosis.
  • Active Comparator: Traditional Manual Anastomosis
    • A handsewn technique will be used during bilioenteric anastomosis.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Bilioenteric anastomotic leakage
    • Time Frame: 1 month post operation
    • To compare the incidence of biliary leakage after magnetic or hand-sewn anastomosis

Secondary Measures

  • Length of bilioenteric anastomosis time
    • Time Frame: during operation
    • To compare the anastomotic time between magnetic and hand-sewn groups
  • Time from the date of operation to expel of the magnets.
    • Time Frame: 1 to 4 weeks postoperation
    • To confirm the safe discharge of the magnets
  • average length of postoperative hospital stay
    • Time Frame: 3 months
    • To compare the length of stay between magnetic and hand-sewn groups
  • Bilioenteric anastomotic stricture
    • Time Frame: 1,3,6,12-month post operation
    • To compare the long-term outcome between magnetic and hand-sewn groups
