Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised, double-blind, parallel group trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study acronymBactTrans
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that bacterial translocation is the least in open colectomy followed by laparoscopic colectomy starting the devascularisation on the left side followed by laparoscopic colectomy starting the devascularisation on the right side.

The longer period of devascularisation results in an increased permeability and higher risk of bacterial translocation.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Medical Ethics Committee AMC, Amsterdam on the 26th April 2006 (ref: MEC 06/045).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBacterial translocation and intestinal permeability
InterventionDevascularisation beginning left or right in case of laparoscopic colectomy. In case of open colectomy mobilisation from lateral to medial.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Intestinal permeability, measured before, during and directely after surgery
2. Amount of bacterial translocation, measured before, during and directely after surgery

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

No secondary outcome measures
