Brief Title: Anastomotic Leak Testing in Gastrectomy

Official Title: Efifcacy and Safety of Anastomotic Leak Testing in Gastric Cancer: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Study ID: NCT04292496

Conditions

Introperative leak testing

Study Description

Brief Summary: Anastomotic leak after radical gastrectomy is a serious complication. Intraoperative leak testing was often used to assess the integrity of the anastomosis. However, the reliability, clinical benefits and safety of intraoperative leak testing are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effect and safety of intraoperative leak testing, and to compare the surgical complications of patients in intraoperative leak testing group with patients in non-intraoperative leak testing group.
