Calu V, Piriianu C, Miron A, Grigorean VT. Surgical Site Infections in Colorectal Cancer Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Surgical Approach and Associated Risk Factors. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:850. [PMID: 39063604 PMCID: PMC11278392 DOI: 10.3390/life14070850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a noteworthy contributor to both morbidity and mortality in the context of patients who undergo colorectal surgery. Several risk factors have been identified; however, their relative significance remains uncertain. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies from their inception up until 2023 that investigated risk factors for SSIs in colorectal surgery. A random-effects model was used to pool the data and calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each risk factor. RESULTS Our analysis included 26 studies with a total of 61,426 patients. The pooled results showed that male sex (OR = 1.45), body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR = 1.09), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥ 3 (OR = 1.69), were all independent risk factors for SSIs in colorectal surgery. Conversely, laparoscopic surgery (OR = 0.70) was found to be a protective factor. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis conducted revealed various risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, associated with surgical site infections (SSIs) in colorectal surgery. These findings emphasize the significance of targeted interventions, including optimizing glycemic control, minimizing blood loss, and using laparoscopic techniques whenever feasible in order to decrease the occurrence of surgical site infections in this particular group of patients.

Comparison of changes in health-related quality of life between elderly and non-elderly patients undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer. Int J Colorectal Dis 2023; 38:149. [PMID: 37256438 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-023-04440-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Elderly people are thought to be more likely than their non-elderly counterparts to experience a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL) due to the onset and treatment of disease. In this study, we investigated whether there was an age-related difference in changes in health-related QOL indices after surgical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Patients who underwent elective surgery for primary CRC at our hospital between September 2017 and November 2021 were enrolled. Changes in QOL after surgery were evaluated after dividing the study population into a non-elderly (NE) group (younger than 75 years) and an elderly (E) group. A Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey was used as an index of QOL. The subscale and component summary scores before and 6 months after surgery were compared. RESULTS Forty-seven patients were included in the E group and 166 patients were the NE group. The E group had significantly worse preoperative performance and physical status than the NE group. However, indices of physical function were not worsened after surgery in either group. In the NE group, there were significant decreases in role physical and role component summary scores and significant increases in general health, mental health, and mental component summary scores. In the E group, there were no significant changes in the subscale or component summary scores after surgery. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated elderly patient did not necessarily show a decline in QOL more than non-elderly patients after CRC surgery. Surgical resection for CRC should be considered even for elderly patients, while considering possible risk factors for worsening ADL and QOL.

Comparison of complications and long-term survival after minimally invasive esophagectomy versus open esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Front Oncol 2022; 12:934950. [PMID: 36267968 PMCID: PMC9578335 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.934950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To compare the complications and long-term survival of esophageal cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) versus open esophagectomy (OE) using propensity score matching (PSM). Methods Esophageal cancer patients who underwent esophagectomy at the Thoracic Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. The incidence of postoperative complications and prognosis of the MIE (n = 132) and OE (n = 138) groups were compared. To reduce bias, 1:1 PSM was adopted for the analysis. Results The median disease-free survival (DFS) of the MIE and OE groups were 24 months and 26 months, respectively, and neither group reached median survival. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of 3-year DFS and overall survival (OS). The stratification of the patients on the basis of the percentage of estimated forced expiratory volume in the first second (%FEV1) did not result in significant differences in the survival rates. A total of 42 patients (50%) in the MIE group and 55 patients (65.48%) in the OE group experienced complications, and the difference was statistically significant (OR=0.527, 95% CI: 0.283–0.981, P=0.042). The incidence of acute COPD exacerbation (OR=0.213, 95% OR, CI: 0.068–0.666, P=0.004) and pulmonary atelectasis requiring bronchoscopic aspiration (OR=0.232, 95% OR, CI: 0.082–0.659, P=0.004) were significantly higher in the OE versus the MIE group. In addition, the distribution of the various grades of complications also differed significantly between the two groups (P=0.016). While the incidence of minor complications (≤Grade II) was similar in both groups (P=0.503), that of severe complications (≥Grade III) was markedly higher in the OE group (P=0.002) and the Grade-IIIa complications were predominant (P=0.001). The severity of complications was correlated with the postoperative duration of hospital stay in both groups (r=0.187, P=0.015). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of minor complications (≤Grade II) between the two groups following stratification on the basis of %FEV1, whereas severe complications were more frequent in the OE group among patients with %FEV1 between 60% and 70% (P=0.001<0.05). Conclusion There was no significant difference in the postoperative DFS and OS of esophageal cancer patients with COPD after undergoing MIE or OE. However, MIE significantly reduced the incidence of severe postoperative complications among patients with %FEV1 between 60% and 70%.

Abstract
AIM The objective of the present study was to compare the outcomes of open versus laparoscopic versus robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). METHODS The charts of all patients who underwent cystectomy and ileal conduit for NLUTD between January 2004 and November 2020 in an academic center were retrospectively reviewed. The approach was either open, laparoscopic or robot-assisted depending on the period (i.e., three consecutive era). For the robotic approach, the diversion was done either intracorporeally or extracorporeally. We compared the perioperative and late postoperative outcomes between the three groups. RESULTS After exclusion of 10 patients with non-neurogenic benign conditions, 126 patients were included over the study period. The most frequent neurological conditions were multiple sclerosis (36.5%) and spinal cord injury (25.4%). The approach was open, laparoscopic or robot-assisted in 31 (24.6%), 26 (20.6%) and 69 (54.7%) cases respectively. Seventy-two patients experienced a 90-day postoperative complication (57.1%) of which 22 had a major complication (Clavien 3 or higher, 17.5%) including one death (0.8%). The rate of major postoperative complications was significantly lower in the robotic group (23% vs. 23% vs. 10%; p = 0.049) while the rate of overall complications was comparable across the three groups (58.1% vs. 53.9% vs. 60.6%; p = 0.84). After a median follow-up of 23 months, 22 patients presented a late complication (17.6%), mainly incisional hernia (5; 4%) and uretero-ileal stricture (9; 7.2%). The rate of late complications did not differ significantly between the three approaches. CONCLUSION Cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic bladder is associated with a relatively high perioperative morbidity. The robot-assisted approach may decrease the risk of major postoperative complications.

Risk factors for surgical site infections following open versus laparoscopic colectomies: a cohort study. BMC Surg 2021; 21:376. [PMID: 34696743 PMCID: PMC8543409 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-021-01379-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections. Evaluating risk factors for SSIs among patients undergoing laparoscopic and open colorectal resections can aid in selecting appropriate candidates for each modality. Methods A cohort of all consecutive patients undergoing elective colorectal resections during 2008–2017 in a single center was analyzed. SSIs were prospectively assessed by infection control personnel. Patient data were collected from electronic medical records. Risk factors for SSIs were compared between patients who underwent laparoscopic and open surgeries. A multivariate analysis was performed for significant variables. Results During the study period, 865 patients underwent elective colorectal resection: 596 laparoscopic and 269 open surgeries. Mean age was 68.2 ± 15.1 years, weight 72.5 ± 18.3 kg and 441 (51%) were men. The most common indication for surgery was malignancy, in 767 patients (88.7%) with inflammatory bowel diseases and diverticulitis following (4.5% and 3.9%, respectively). Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were younger, had fewer comorbidities, shorter pre-operative hospitalizations, lower risk index scores, and lower rates of SSI, compared with open surgery. Independent risk factors for SSI following laparoscopic surgery were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [odds ratio (OR) 2.655 95% CI (1.267, 5.565)], risk index ≥ 2 [OR 2.079, 95% CI (1.041,4.153)] and conversion of laparoscopic to open surgery [OR 2.056 95%CI (1.212, 3.486)]. Independent risk factors for SSI following open surgery were immunosuppression [OR 3.378 95% CI (1.071, 10.655)], chronic kidney disease [OR 2.643 95% CI (1.008, 6.933)], and need for a second dose of prophylactic antibiotics [OR 2.519 95%CI (1.074, 5.905)]. Conclusions Risk factors for SSIs differ between laparoscopic and open colorectal resections. Knowledge of specific risk factors may inform patient selection for these modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify national utilization trends of robotic surgery for elective colectomy, conversion rates over time, and the specific impact of conversion on postoperative morbidity. Conversion to open represents a hard endpoint for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and is associated with worse outcomes when compared to MIS or even traditional open procedures. METHODS All adult patients who underwent either laparoscopic or robotic elective colectomy from 2013 to 2018 as reported in the American College of Surgeons Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database were included. National trends of both robotic utilization and conversion rates were analyzed, overall and according to underlying disease (benign disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer), or the presence of obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2). Demographic and surgical risk factors for surgical conversion to open were identified through multivariable regression analysis. Further assessed were overall and specific postoperative 30-day complications, which were risk adjusted and compared between converted patients and the remaining cohort. RESULTS Of 66,652 included procedures, 5353 (8.0%) were converted to open. Conversion rates were 8.5% for laparoscopic and 4.9% for robotic surgery (p < 0.0001). A decline in conversion rates over the 6-year inclusion period was observed overall and for patients with obesity. This trend paralleled an increased utilization of the robotic platform. Several surrogates for advanced disease stages for cancer, diverticulitis, and IBD and prolonged surgical duration were identified as independent risk factors for unplanned conversion, while robotic approach was an independent protective factor (OR 0.44, p < 0.0001). Patients who had unplanned conversion were more likely to experience postoperative complications (OR 2.36; 95% CI [2.21-2.51]), length of hospital stay ≥ 6 days (OR 2.86; 95% CI [2.67-3.05], and 30-day mortality (OR 2.28; 95% CI [1.72-3.02]). CONCLUSION This nationwide study identified a decreasing trend in conversion rates over the 6-year inclusion period, both overall and in patients with obesity, paralleling increased utilization of the robotic platform. Unplanned conversion to open was associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether perioperative breathing training reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SETTING University hospital. SUBJECTS A total of 240 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery participated in this study. INTERVENTION The enrolled patients were randomized into an intervention or control group. Patients in the intervention group received perioperative breathing training, including deep breathing and coughing exercise, balloon-blowing exercise, and pursed lip breathing exercise. The control group received standard perioperative care without any breathing training. MAIN MEASURES The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the effect of perioperative breathing training on arterial oxygenation, incidence of other postoperative complications, patient satisfaction, length of stay, and hospital charges. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in the breathing training group was lower than that in the control group (5/120 [4%] vs 14/120 [12%]; RR 0.357, 95%CI 0.133-0.960; P = 0.031). In addition, PaO2 and arterial oxygenation index on the first and fourth days after surgery were significantly higher in the breathing training group than in the control group (P < 0.001). In addition, patients with breathing training had shorter length of stay (6d [IQR 5-7] vs 8d [IQR 7-9]), lower hospital charges (7761 ± 1679 vs 8212 ± 1326), and higher patient satisfaction (9.46 ± 0.65 vs 9.21 ± 0.47) than those without. CONCLUSION Perioperative breathing training may reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and preserve of arterial oxygenation after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic surgery has become the standard of care for the most common surgical procedures performed. However, laparoscopic techniques have not reached this same penetrance in colorectal surgery. We wanted to determine the percentage of colon operations performed in Texas that were done via laparoscopic, robotic and open techniques. Methods: The Texas Inpatient Public Use Data File (PUDF) was queried using ICD-9-CM diagnostic and procedure codes to determine overall utilization of laparoscopic colectomies (LC) in Texas between 2013-14 for reporting facilities. We specifically looked at cost and the length of stay for LC, open colectomy (OC) and robotic assisted colectomy (RAC). Results: In the state of Texas between 2013-14 there were 20,454 colectomies performed. Of these 12,328 (60.3%) were OC, 7,536 (36.8%) were LC, and 590 (3.9%) were RAC. Average total cost was $117,113 for OC, $75,741.9 for LC, and $81,996.2 for RAC. Average length of stay for each technique was 10.6 days for OC, 6.1 days for LC, and 5.1 days for RAC. The risk of a postoperative complication occurring was higher in the open procedure than a laparoscopic procedure. Conclusions: LC accounted for only 36.8% of all colectomies performed in Texas between 2013-14. OC costs twice as much as LC and increased the length of stay by nearly 4 d. LC and RAC are both associated with significantly less cost and length of stay for patients undergoing surgery, while lowering perioperative complications. Disclosures: None of the authors have any relevant disclosures.

Laparoscopic colectomy for diverticulitis in patients with pre-operative respiratory comorbidity: analysis of post-operative outcomes in the United States from 2005 to 2017. Surg Endosc 2019; 34:1665-1677. [PMID: 31286256 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06943-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2019] [Accepted: 06/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current studies suggest that laparoscopic colorectal surgery is an advantageous alternative to open surgery due to improved post-operative outcomes in high-risk patient groups. Limited data is currently available on the benefits of minimally invasive colectomy for diverticulitis in patients with significant pre-operative respiratory comorbidities. STUDY DESIGN The NSQIP 2005-2017 datasets were used to identify patients that underwent partial colectomies due to diverticulitis. Partial colectomy cases were identified using CPT codes and then filtered to include only ICD 9 and 10 codes for diverticulitis. Pre-operative respiratory comorbidities included dyspnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and smoking status. Propensity matching was performed based on patient demographic and pre-operative risk factor data to create comparable groups for each respiratory comorbidity subset. Outcomes of interest were 30-day post-operative mortality and morbidity, incidence of return to operating room (ROR), and hospital length of stay (LoS). Laparoscopy and open surgery groups were compared using Chi square tests for categorical variables and t tests for continuous variables. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Among 70,420 cases with diverticulitis, 15,237 cases were identified as smokers, 3934 had dyspnea, and 3219 had COPD. Patients that had open procedures had significantly greater odds of mortality (OR 2.624 for smokers; OR 2.698 for dyspnea; OR 2.663 for COPD), morbidity (OR 2.590 for smokers; OR 2.344 for dyspnea; OR 2.883 for COPD), wound complication (OR 1.989 for smokers; OR 1.461 for dyspnea; OR 1.956 for COPD), and ROR (OR 1.184 for smokers; OR 1.634 for dyspnea; OR 1.975 for COPD). Laparoscopic procedures resulted in significantly lower average LoS (5.34 vs. 9.46 days for smokers; 6.84 vs. 11.06 days for dyspnea; 7.41 vs. 12.62 days for COPD; all p < .0001). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic colectomy for diverticulitis diagnosis for a matched cohort of patients with pre-operative respiratory comorbidities such as smoking status, dyspnea, and COPD resulted in significantly improved post-operative outcomes, lower odds of mortality and morbidity, and shorter LoS.

Laparoscopic Major Gastrointestinal Surgery Is Safe for Properly Selected Patient with COPD: A Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:8280358. [PMID: 30941372 PMCID: PMC6420973 DOI: 10.1155/2019/8280358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Background Laparoscopy has been widely applied in gastrointestinal surgery, with benefits such as less intraoperative blood loss, faster recovery, and shorter length of hospital stay. However, it remains controversial if laparoscopic major gastrointestinal surgery could be conducted for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which was traditionally considered as an important risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications. The present study was conducted to review and assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic major abdominal surgery for patient with COPD. Materials and Methods Databases including PubMed, EmBase, Cochrane Library, and Wan-fang were searched for all years up to Jul 1, 2018. Studies comparing perioperative results for COPD patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery between laparoscopic and open approaches were enrolled. Results Laparoscopic approach was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (MD = −174.03; 95% CI: −232.16 to −115.91, P < 0.00001; P < 0.00001, I2=93% for heterogeneity) and shorter length of hospital stay (MD = −3.30; 95% CI: −3.75 to −2.86, P < 0.00001; P = 0.99, I2=0% for heterogeneity). As for pulmonary complications, laparoscopic approach was associated with lower overall pulmonary complications rate (OR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.48 to 0.71, P < 0.00001; P = 0.42, I2=0% for heterogeneity) and lower postoperative pneumonia rate (OR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.41 to 0.67, P < 0.00001; P = 0.57, I2=0% for heterogeneity). Moreover, laparoscopic approach was associated with lower wound infection (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.63, P < 0.00001; P = 0.99, I2=0% for heterogeneity) and abdominal abscess rates (OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.44 to 0.79, P < 0.0004; P = 0.24, I2=30% for heterogeneity). Conclusions Laparoscopic major gastrointestinal surgery for properly selected COPD patient was safe and feasible, with shorter term benefits.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare outcomes of laparoscopic surgery to the outcomes of open surgery in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Plethora of studies compares laparoscopic and open surgery in the general population; however, there is a paucity of existing literature examining the optimal surgical techniques in the COPD population. Materials and Methods: A propensity score-matched analysis using the 2012-2015 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was conducted to match COPD patients undergoing the most common laparoscopic procedures to COPD patients undergoing the same procedures through an open approach. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess mortality and complications, and a multivariate linear regression model was used to compare the length of stay and total cost between open and laparoscopic surgery groups in COPD patients. Results: In general, open surgeries in COPD patients had worse outcomes than laparoscopic surgeries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomies were 45% less likely, colectomies were 58% less likely, and diagnostic procedures were 44% less likely to result in mortality than their open counterparts. All surgical cohorts except incisional hernia repairs had higher complication rates with an open approach. Aggregate complication rate reduction among procedures ranged between 29% and 65%. Total costs were higher in all open surgical cohorts except for appendectomies ($3,424-8,455). All open surgeries were associated with a longer length of stay, ranging from an extra day to 3 days, depending on surgery type. Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery should not be considered a contraindication in patients with COPD. Careful consideration of surgical technique can have significant implications on patient outcomes and hospital costs in the COPD population.

Long-term results after elective laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in octogenarians. Surg Endosc 2019; 34:170-176. [PMID: 30863928 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06747-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2018] [Accepted: 03/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term outcomes after elective laparoscopic surgery (LPS) for colorectal cancer patients over 80 years of age. METHODS This was a retrospective study of all patients of 80 and above, who underwent elective colorectal resection, between January 2007 and January 2016. Data were analysed from a prospectively collected cancer database and cross checked with patient records. Determinants of survival were analysed using log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS We identified 293 patients; 110 underwent LPS. LPS had significantly better overall survival (p = 0.0065) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.006). The LPS group also had a shorter length of stay (LOS)-9 vs 11 days (p < 0.00001), 90-day mortality-5.5 vs 13.7% (p = 0.03) and required fewer blood transfusions 22.7 vs 40.4% (p = 0.002), when compared to open surgery (OPS). There was no difference in 30-day mortality 1.8 vs 4.9% (p = 0.22), anastomotic leakage 2.3 vs 6% (p = 0.20) or post-operative complication rates 44.5 vs 50.8% (p = 0.30). CONCLUSIONS LPS for patients in their 80s is characterised by better overall and DFS compared to open procedures and is associated with shorter post-operative LOS, and significantly lower 90-day mortality. Patients operated on laparoscopically also required fewer post-operative blood transfusions.

Abstract
Whether preoperative spirometry in non-thoracic surgery can predict postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is controversial. We investigated whether preoperative spirometry results can predict the occurrence of PPCs in patients who had undergone laparoscopic abdominal surgery. This retrospective observational study analyzed the records of patients who underwent inpatient laparoscopic gastric or colorectal cancer surgery at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between January 2010 and June 2017. Preoperative spirometry was performed for patients at a high risk of PPCs, such as elderly patients (age >60 years), patients aged <60 years with chronic pulmonary disease, and current smokers. The main outcome was the association between the results of spirometry tests performed within 1 month prior to surgery and the occurrence of PPCs, as determined by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Of the 898 included patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric (372 patients) or colorectal cancer surgery (526 patients), PPC occurred in 117 patients (gastric cancer: 74, colorectal cancer: 43). A 1% greater preoperative forced vital capacity (FVC) was associated with a 2% lower incidence of PPCs after laparoscopic gastric or colorectal cancer surgery (odds ratio: 0.98, 95% confidence interval: 0.97–0.99, P = 0.018). However, the preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (%) and FEV1/FVC (%) were not significantly associated with PPCs (P = 0.059 and P = 0.147, respectively). In conclusion, lower preoperative spirometry FVC, but not FEV1 or FEV1/FVC, may predict PPCs in high-risk patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
