Condition: Adenocarcinoma of the Colon · Sponsor: Yonsei University
INTRODUCTION Colorectal cancer rates are rising, with surgery emphasizing radical resection and vessel ligation. Conventional methods using clips pose risks of bleeding and complications. Ultrasonic scalpels offer a safer alternative, approved for various surgeries, but their efficacy in colorectal cancer surgery needs prospective validation. STUDY OBJECTIVE Study compares safety/efficacy of clipless vs. clip-type hemostasis using ultrasonic scalpel in colorectal surgery, focusing on post-op bleeding frequency, intraoperative bleed, drainage, hospital stay. STUDY DESIGN This study is a prospective, randomized, single-center study comparing clipless ultrasonic energy-based hemostasis versus conventional clipping hemostasis in performing laparoscopic colectomy. The study's experimental group undergoes surgery with an ultrasonic scalpel, while the control group receives treatment with a monopolar energy device and clips. Allocation to groups, using a 1:1 ratio, is randomized via a computerized table by a blinded coordinator, immediately post-anesthesia. Principal investigators and administrators remain blinded throughout the study. STUDY POPULATION 1\. Screening A detailed review of the medical records will be performed to assess inclusion/exclusion criteria for all subjects who have been diagnosed with colonic adenocarcinoma and are subject to a colectomy procedure. All patients who are eligible, meet the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria of this study, will be …
