Abstract
Results: There were no differences in clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes, except for anastomotic outcomes, between the two groups. Patients with positive air leak tests were significantly more in the MCSG (p=0.026; PCSG, 1.5%; MCSG, 8.0%). Frequencies of anastomotic leakage (p=0.486; PCSG, 6.1%; MCSG, 8.9%) and anastomotic bleeding (p=1.000; PCSG, 0.7%; MCSG, 0.8%) were similar between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that the use of a powered circular stapler significantly increased the negative leak tests (p=0.020, odds ratio 6.74, 95% confidence interval 1.35-33.56).
