anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection of rectal cancer considering the role of protective stoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
abstract background and aims: probable risk factors of clinical anastomotic leakage and the role of defunctioning stoma in patients undergoing low anterior resection (lar) for rectal cancer, is still controversial. the goal of our study was to find out possible risk factors of anastomotic leakage and to locate the influence of protective stoma in the rate of anastomotic leakage. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 44 patients underwent lar with total mesorectal excision (tme) during the period from 2001 to 2006 were analyzed. from these 44 patients 24 were treated with protective stoma while 20 were not. results: overall anastomotic leakage rate was similar among patients with and without protective stoma (odds ratio=0.51, p=0.2357). male gender, low anastomosis, coronery artery disease, preoperative radiotherapy, and smoking were great risk factors for developing anastomotic leakage. we did not find any differences between handsewn and stapled anastomosis (odds ratio=0.6). conclusion: protective stoma will be helpful depending on surgeon experiences and is not recommended for all the patients routinely. beside this, male gender, low anastomosis, coronary artery disease, preoperative radiotherapy, and smoking are the major risk factors of anastomotic leakage.

The Role of Diverting Stoma After an Ultra-low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer
PURPOSE A diverting stoma is known to reduce the consequences of distal anastomotic failure following colorectal surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a diverting stoma after an ultra-low anterior resection (uLAR) for rectal cancer. METHODS Between 2000 and 2007, 836 patients who underwent an uLAR were divided into two groups, depending on the fecal diversion: 246 rec...
متن کاملDiverting stoma with anterior resection for rectal cancer: does it reduce overall anastomotic leakage and leaks requiring laparotomy?
Anastomotic leakage (AL) after resection for rectal carcinoma accelerates morbidity and mortality rates, extends hospital stay, and increases treatment costs, particularly when requiring laparotomy. The role of a protective diverting stoma (DS) in avoiding leakage has repeatedly been discussed, but prospective randomized studies on this subject are rare and their results contradictory. The MEDL...
متن کاملPredicting the risk and diminishing the consequences of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer.
INTRODUCTION Anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious early complications of any intestinal anastomosis. The morbidity and mortality are high and patients may be at increased risk of cancer recurrence. In colorectal surgery the risks are particularly high following low anterior resection. Factors which increase and decrease the risks are discussed. METHODS A review of the main published...
متن کاملPromising results after endoscopic vacuum treatment of anastomotic leakage following resection of rectal cancer with ileostomy.
INTRODUCTION In colorectal surgery, the most feared complication is anastomotic leakage (AL), which is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we focus on treatment of perianastomotic abscess following AL after low anterior resection (LAR) of rectal cancer. In the literature, conservative irrigation regimes are reported to perdure for months and some even years and to be ...
متن کاملSystematic Review of Anastomotic Leakage Rate According to an International Grading System Following Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer
BACKGROUND A generally acceptable definition and a severity grading system for anastomotic leakages (ALs) following rectal resection were not available until 2010, when the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISGRC) proposed a definition and a grading system for AL. METHODS A search for published data was performed using the MEDLINE database (2000 to December 5, 2012) to perform a sys...
