Scientific titlePrevention of post-operative pelvic bleeding and collection after sphincter-saving surgery for rectal cancer using a calcium-alginate haemostatic: a multicentric randomised study
Study objectivesAssess the possible benefit of Hemoionic®, a new haemostatic, in sphincter-saving surgery for rectal cancer with special reference to pelvic fluid collection reduction.
Ethics approval(s)1. French ethics committee (Comité Consultatif de Protection des Personnes dans la Recherche Biomédicale [CCPPRB]) approved on 4th January 2006 (ref: 0511240)
2. French drug administration (Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits de Santé [AFSSAPS]) approved on 6th January (ref: 2005/12/007)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRectal cancer/colorectal surgery
InterventionResections were performed according to the standard technique of optimal mesorectal excision (either partial or total according to the level of the rectal tumour) either by laparotomy or laparoscopy. Complete pelvic haemostasis was obtained prior to randomisation, according to the surgeons' routine practice, with electrical coagulation and/or vessel ligation. Randomisation was performed during the surgical procedure in a 1:1 ratio to an Hemoionic® group or a control group.

After complete pelvic hemostasis, patients randomised in the Hemoionic® group had two applications of Hemoionic® in the sacral cavity for at least 5 and 10 minutes respectively.

For the Hemoionic® group a proctectomy with partial mesorectal excision and stapled colorectal anastomosis was performed for tumours of the upper rectum. A proctectomy with total mesorectal excision was performed for tumours of the middle and lower rectum. Anastomosis was performed mechanically or manually, according to the level of the anastomosis. Pelvic drainage was standardised for all procedures as an aspirative cross-perforated redon drain (from 10 to 14 ch.) placed in the pelvic cavity, behind the anastomosis. A temporary stoma was systematically fashioned at the end of the operation.

For the control group the same surgery was perfomed without using any other haemostatic.
