| Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a novel nickel-titanium memory alloy compression anastomosis ring(CAR27)for colorectal cancer surgery.Methods: May2010- December 2010 in period, we retrospectively analyzed 41 patients in our hospital with nickel-titanium memory alloy compression anastomosis ring colorectal cancer surgery and 42 cases of metal nail stapler for surgery in colorectal cancer.The following parameters would be recorded:anastomotic compliation;first post-operation flatus and bowel movement.Results: Postoperative anastomotic leakage, A group of three cases (7.3%), B 3 patients (7.1%), P> 0.05, occurred after 3-12 d, conservative treatment cured in 5 cases, a routine surgical recovery; anastomotic stenosis, A group did not occur, B group had 1 case (2.38%), occurred in a month late, the expansion of anal discharge. Two groups had the similar results in recovery of bowel function. Review 3 months after endoscopic anastomotic healing well without local recurrence and narrow.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that this CAR27 is safe and simple to use for colorectal anastomosis, its advantages as much as metal nail stapler. |
