Brief summary

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study aimed at compareing the impact of stapler reinforcement patches versus standard staplers on postoperative complications in gastrojejunostomy.

Detailed description

This study compares stapler reinforcement patches with standard staplers in gastrojejunostomy to reduce postoperative complications. It aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of these patches in preventing anastomotic leakage and other related complications.

Masking description

Participants and outcomes assessors will be blinded to the group assignments. Surgeons will be aware of the group assignments but will not disclose this information to the participants or the outcomes assessors.

Intervention model description

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group receiving the stapler reinforcement patches or the control group undergoing standard procedures without reinforcement patches.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Anastomotic Leakage30 days post-surgeryThe incidence of anastomotic leakage within 30 days post-surgery. Anastomotic leakage is defined as the presence of fluid containing enteric content in the abdominal cavity or the appearance of leakage confirmed by imaging or endoscopy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Anastomotic Stricture3 months post-surgeryThe incidence of anastomotic stricture within 3 months post-surgery. Anastomotic stricture is defined as difficulty in food passage or narrowing confirmed by imaging or endoscopy.
Postoperative Bleeding Rate30 days post-surgeryThe incidence of postoperative bleeding within 30 days post-surgery. Postoperative bleeding is defined as the occurrence of bleeding requiring intervention or causing significant hemoglobin drop.
Mortality Rate30 days post-surgeryThe rate of mortality within 30 days post-surgery.
Readmission Rate3 months post-surgeryReadmission Rate
