Clinical Trial: Role of Serial C-reactive Protein Concentration Analysis With Computed Tomography in Limiting the Need for Protective Defunctioning Ileostomy After Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection - A Prospective Study

U.S., July 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07722533) titled 'Role of Serial C-reactive Protein Concentration Analysis With Computed Tomography in Limiting the Need for Protective Defunctioning Ileostomy After Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection - A Prospective Study' on July 17.

Brief Summary: Anastomotic leakage is a clinically important complication following laparoscopic low anterior resection. A protective defunctioning ileostomy may reduce the clinical consequences of leakage but is associated with stoma-related morbidity, dehydration, readmission and the need for a subsequent closure procedure.

This prospective study will evaluate the safety and clinical utility of a standardized posto...
