Trial Information

Comparison of Functional Results of High Ligation and Low Ligation After Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer - Randomized Controlled Trial-


Fecal incontinence after anterior resection are often observed. Whether or not
postoperative bowel function is influenced by the preservation of nerve fibers around the
root of IMA and LCA (low ligation) is still unknown. So in this randomized controlled
trial, we evaluate the efficacy of low ligation in terms of the bowel function.


Inclusion Criteria:



- On the basis of whether anterior resection was anticipated at WMUH for rectosigmoid
and rectal cancer, and appropriate informed consent was obtained.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who could not respond to medical interview for own bowel function

- Patients without an informed consent

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Assessment of bowel function

Outcome Time Frame:

1 year

Safety Issue:

Yes
