The NiTi CAR™ 27 is a newer device that uses compression to create an anastomosis. An analysis of this device in the creation of colorectal anastomoses in humans has yet to be reported in the USA.
A non-randomized, prospective pilot study of the NiTi CAR™ 27 device in patients undergoing a left-sided colectomy between March 2008 and August 2009 was performed.
Twenty-three patients (9 men and 14 women) underwent a left-sided colectomy and compression anastomosis with the CAR™ 27 device. Minor morbidities, 3 of 23 (13%) patients, included one small postoperative abscess requiring antibiotics alone and two postoperative anastomotic strictures requiring balloon dilation. Major morbidities, 1 of 23 (4%) patients, included a partial anastomotic dehiscence/leak requiring surgical dismantling of the anastomosis and diversion.
The CAR™ 27 device shows promise as a safe and effective alternative for the creation of colorectal anastomoses. However, studies in a larger patient population are warranted to demonstrate equivalence of this device.
NiTi CAR™ 27 是一种较新的器械,它采用压缩的方式来进行吻合。在美国,尚未有关于该器械在人类结直肠吻合术中应用的报道。
对 2008 年 3 月至 2009 年 8 月期间接受左侧结肠切除术的患者应用 NiTi CAR™ 27 器械进行非随机、前瞻性的初步研究。
23 例患者(9 名男性,14 名女性)接受了左侧结肠切除术和 CAR™ 27 器械的压缩吻合术。23 例患者中有 3 例(13%)出现轻微并发症,包括 1 例术后小脓肿仅需使用抗生素治疗,2 例术后吻合口狭窄需行球囊扩张。23 例患者中有 1 例(4%)出现严重并发症,包括部分吻合口裂开/渗漏,需要手术拆除吻合口并进行转流。
CAR™ 27 器械在创建结直肠吻合术中是一种安全、有效的替代方法。但是,仍需要在更大的患者人群中进行研究以证明该器械的等效性。
