Safety & Efficacy of a Novel Asymmetrical Linear Stapler (NALS) for Securing Distal Resection Margin in Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery: Pilot Study

Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Summary

Through the use of a novel asymmetrical linear stapler (NALS, Meditulip co. Ltd.), we aim to prove that true distal margins greater than 1cm may be harvested more readily and easily compared to the conventional staplers. The study is designed as a pilot RCT of 30 patients in each group, with the primary outcome of distal margin length \>1cm. Secondary outcomes include anastomosis dehiscence and time taken to harvest the distal margin.
