Abstract
To assess the safety and efficacy of gastrointestinal anastomosis with nickel titanium shape memory alloy compression anastomosis clip. We randomized 51 patients to undergo gastrointestinal anastomosis with stapler (n=25) and nickel titanium compression anastomosis clip (n=26) respectively. The following parameters were recorded to evaluate the safety and efficacy: mean hospitalization time, anastomotic complication, first post-operation flatus and bowel movement, and extrusion of the clip. Anastomotic complications such as leakage, stenosis and obstruction were not observed in both groups. There were no significant differences in the first post-operation flatus time and bowel movement time between the 2 groups (P>0.05). The clip was expelled with stool within 9-15 d. Compression anastomosis clip is safe and effective.
