Brief summary

Impact of Manual Versus Mechanical Intestinal Suturing on the Incidence and Management of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Conduit.

Detailed description

Currently, no specific trial compares hand-sewn intestinal anastomosis with mechanical stapled anastomosis in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. At Fundació Puigvert, approximately one hundred radical cystectomies with ileal conduit are performed annually. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the superiority of either intestinal anastomosis technique, the decision to use hand-sewn versus stapled anastomosis depends on the surgeon's expertise, without considering the potential impact of each technique on postoperative complication rates, surgical time, or functional outcomes. Currently, no well-designed surgical trials demonstrate differences between hand-sewn and mechanical stapled anastomosis in radical cystectomy regarding intraoperative and postoperative complications. For this reason, the investigators will conduct a trial to assess the impact of each anastomosis technique

Interventions

PROCEDUREcystectomy with ileal conduit, using mechanical bowel anastomosis

An ileal conduit will be the new storage area for urine once the bladder is removed. GIA Device will be used to perform bowel anastomosis

PROCEDUREcystectomy with ileal conduit, using manual bowel anastomosis

An ileal conduit will be the new storage area for urine once the bladder is removed. Vycryl suture will be used to perform manual bowel anastomosis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Demonstrate the superiority of manual intestinal suturing versus mechanical suturing, defined as a lower incidence of postoperative digestive complications in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit.1 yearCompare the incidence of gastrointestinal complications according to the type of suturing used in the creation of the ileo-ileal anastomosis in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit during the hospital admission period and at one-year follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To evaluate the predictive factors of postoperative complications.1 yearIdentify the predictive factors of postoperative complications during hospital admission and at one-year follow-up, both overall and according to the type of suturing.
