Brief Title: Human Albumin and Anastomotic Leakage After Gastric Cancer Surgery
Official Title: Association of Human Albumin With Anastomotic Leakage After Gastric Cancer Surgery
Study ID: NCT04490668
Brief Summary: We investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.
Detailed Description: Anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery is not very common but it is a very critical postoperative complication. Anastomotic leakage severely compromises the recovery after surgery. It increases the overall burden of patients and hospital resources. Postoperative mortality is higher in patients with anastomotic leakage. Human albumin is routinely administered after surgery with a unproven hypothesis that the human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage. We investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.
