摘要

Background

Morbidity due to anastomotic leakage is a major concern in transthoracic oesophagectomy. The aim of this randomised trial is to evaluate whether a circumferential suture reinforcement of the stapled end-to-side anastomosis in robot-assisted minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy (RAMIE) leads to a reduced incidence of anastomotic leakages in the postoperative course.

Methods/design

This is a multi-centre randomised, double-blind, superiority trial with an adaptive sample size design undergoing RAMIE for malignant tumours. Patients will be randomised 1:1 into two study arms. In study arm A, participants will receive a standard circular-stapled end-to-side oesophagogastric anastomosis, while in study arm B, the anastomosis will have a circumferential suture reinforcement. The primary endpoint is the rate of anastomotic leakage. Secondary endpoints are incision-to-suture time, duration of circumferential suture reinforcement, anastomotic stenosis rate, postoperative morbidity and mortality, and quality of life.

Discussion

This randomised controlled trial will assess the impact of circumferential suture reinforcement of the oesophagogastric anastomosis on short-term outcomes and quality of life of patients undergoing robot-assisted minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy.
