Brief Title: An International, Multicentric, Prospective, Observational Study to Evaluate Monosyn® Suture Material for Anastomoses in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Official Title: An International, Multicentric, Prospective, Observational Study to Evaluate Monosyn® Suture Material for Anastomoses in the Gastrointestinal Tract.
Study ID: NCT02080702
Brief Summary: The aim of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of a monofilament, mid-term absorbable suture material (Monosyn®) for anastomosis performed in the gastrointestinal tract using the frequency of anastomosis leakage as a primary parameter. Postoperative complication rate, length of hospital stay, costs, time to perform the anastomosis and handling will serve as secondary endpoints. The question is addressed, whether a monofilament suture material is as effective as a braided suture material for anastomosis construction within the gastrointestinal tract.
