In 2015 a Cochrane meta analysis on four Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) concluded that there was no convincing evidence to the routine drain placement in gastrectomy. Nevertheless the Authors evidenced the moderate/low methodological quality of the included studies and highlighted how 3 out of four came from Eastern countries. Despite the above mentioned limits, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) society published the guidelines for gastrectomy that strongly recommend, with high evidence level, to avoid routine use of drain in gastric surgery. After 2015 some other retrospective studies have been published, all with inconsistent results. Our objective is to perform a multicentre prospective trial in a large western cohort of patients to establish wether avoid routine use of anastomotic drain does not led to an increasing of postoperative invasive procedure.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* all consecutive patients that undergo total or subtotal gastrectomy with a curative intent, for histologically proven gastric cancer or esophago-gastric junction cancer Siewert type II or III, in surgical investigator centres from the beginning of the study until reaching the accrual number\n* esophageal involvement \\<= 2 cm\n* patients undergoing upfront surgery or treated with a neoadjuvant/perioperative chemotherapy\n* open, hybrid, laparoscopic or robotic approach\n* all types of anastomosis (circular stapled, linear stapled, hand sewn)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* refuse to sign informed consent\n* age \\<18\n* Heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV\n* severe liver disease (Child \\>= 7)\n* pregnancy\n* metastatic disease\n* emergency surgery\n* palliative surgery\n* operation different from total or subtotal oncological gastrectomies (e.g. pylorus preserving, proximal gastrectomy)\n* lymphnodal dissection \\<D1\n* reconstruction different from Roux-en-Y or Billroth II\n* multiple organ resections (except for cholecystectomy)\n* gastric cancer with duodenal involvement\n* intraoperative Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04227951', 'acronym': 'ADiGe', 'briefTitle': 'Gastrectomy With or Without Drainage (ADiGe)?', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata Verona'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Randomised Multicentre Controlled Trial of Gastrectomy With or Without Prophylactic Abdominal Drainage.
