Assessing anastomotic leakage after right hemicolectomy for cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This nationwide observational study aims to evaluate the rate of anastomotic leakage following right hemicolectomy in patients with right colon cancer. It will identify independent risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage and develop a clinical prediction model to estimate the likelihood of this complication post-surgery. The study involves multiple high-volume colorectal surgery centers across Italy, coordinated by the University of Turin's Division of Surgical Oncology and Digestive Surgery. Ethical approvals will be sought from relevant committees before the study's implementation.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients from all participating centers older than 18 years, males or females, with the diagnosis of primary right colon cancer including the cecum, ascendent, liver flexure, and proximal third of the transverse colon, in both emergency and elective settings, with the indication of RH, referred as to the resection of a portion of the distal ileum, cecum, ascending colon, and proximal to the mid-transverse colon, with intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal primary handsewn or mechanical ileocolic anastomosis by minimally invasive(robotic or laparoscopic) or open approach.

Exclusion Criteria:
