McKechnie T, Shi V, Huang E, Huo B, Doumouras A, Amin N, Eskicioglu C, Hong D. Double-row staple technology versus triple-row staple technology for colorectal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Surgery 2024:S0039-6060(24)00296-4. [PMID: 38876899 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.04.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Some observational data have suggested that anastomotic leak may be reduced with triple-row staple technology compared to double-row staple technology. We aimed to investigate this further by performing a systematic review comparing double- and triple-row staple technology for colorectal anastomoses. METHODS This systematic review was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched up to November 2023. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they were comparing double-row staple and triple-row staple technology for left-sided colo-colic, colorectal, or coloanal anastomosis. The main outcomes included anastomotic leak, anastomotic hemorrhage, 30-day mortality, and reoperation. Meta-analyses with inverse variance random effects were performed. Certainty of evidence was assessed with Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations. RESULTS After reviewing 340 relevant citations, 6 retrospective cohort studies met inclusion. Overall, 19,372 patients (mean age: 60.2 years, 52.7% female sex) had anastomoses with double-row staple technology, and 2,298 patients (mean age: 61.3 years, 50.3% female sex) with triple-row staple technology. Most operations were anterior resections (double-row: 55.3%; triple-row: 43.6%). Across all included studies, the risk of anastomotic leak was reduced with triple-row staple technology (6.3% vs 7.5%, risk ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval 0.31-0.94, P = .03, I2=75%). There were no significant differences in anastomotic hemorrhage (risk ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.15-1.49, P = .20, I2 = 57%), 30-day mortality (risk ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.17-2.55, P = .55, I2 = 0%), or reoperation (risk ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval 0.42-2.64, P = .91, I2 = 56%). CONCLUSION Triple-row staple technology may reduce the risk of anastomotic leak in left-sided colorectal anastomoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For high-risk patients receiving right-sided colectomy, stoma formation is a safety strategy. Options are anastomosis with loop ileostomy, end ileostomy, or split stoma. The aim is to compare the outcome of these three options. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent right sided colectomy and stoma formation between January 2008 and December 2021 at two tertial referral centers in Switzerland. The primary outcome was the stoma associated complication rate within one year. RESULTS A total of 116 patients were included. A total of 20 patients (17%) underwent primary anastomosis with loop ileostomy (PA group), 29 (25%) received an end ileostomy (ES group) and 67 (58%) received a split stoma (SS group). Stoma associated complication rate was 43% (n = 21) in PA and in ES group and 50% (n = 34) in SS group (n.s.). A total of 30% (n = 6) of patients in PA group needed reoperations, whereas 59% (n = 17) in ES and 58% (n = 39) in SS group had reoperations (P = 0.07). Wound infections occurred in 15% (n = 3) in PA, in 10% (n = 3) in ES, and in 30% (n = 20) in SS group (P = 0.08). A total of 13 patients (65%) in PA, 7 (24%) in ES, and 29 (43%) in SS group achieved stoma closure (P = 0.02). A total of 5 patients (38%) in PA group, 2 (15%) in ES, and 22 patients (67%) in SS group had a stoma-associated rehospitalization (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Primary anastomosis and loop ileostomy may be an option for selected patients. Patients with end ileostomies have fewer stoma-related readmissions than those with a split stoma, but they have a lower rate of stoma closure. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial not registered.

Abstract
This literature review summarises the investigation into using Indocyanine Green (ICG) in the surgical management of endometriosis, focusing mainly on its application in Deep Endometriosis (DE). The study reviews the development, fluorescence characteristics, and clinical usage of ICG in enhancing the precision of identifying endometrial lesions during surgery. Emphasizing the technology's contribution to improved lesion visualisation, the paper discusses how ICG facilitates increased diagnostic accuracy, potentially reducing recurrence rates and the necessity for subsequent interventions. Additionally, it explores ICG's role in minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injuries, especially in ureteral endometriosis, and its utility in surgical decision-making for rectosigmoid endometriosis by evaluating bowel perfusion. Conclusively, while acknowledging the clear benefits of ICG integration in endometriosis surgical procedures, the abstract calls for more extensive research to validate its efficacy and cost-efficiency in the broader context of endometriosis treatment.

Comparison of Post-Operative Outcomes of Right Colectomy between Crohn's Disease and Adenocarcinoma of the Right Colon: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2809. [PMID: 38792351 PMCID: PMC11122225 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102809] [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: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Crohn's disease (CD) and right-sided colorectal-carcinoma (CRC) are two common indications for right colectomies. Many studies have tried to identify risk factors associated with post-operative complications for both CD and CRC. However, data directly comparing the outcomes of the two are sparse. This study aims to compare the 30-day post-operative outcome after a right colectomy for CD versus CRC. Its secondary aim is to identify the factors associated with these outcomes for each group. (2) Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 123 patients who underwent a right colectomy for CD or CRC in a single institution between March 2011 and March 2016. (3) Results: There were no significant differences between the groups when comparing the overall complication rate, the median Clavien-Dindo score, reoperation rates and the length of hospitalization. The leak rate was higher in the Crohn's group (13.95% (6/43) vs. 3.75% (3/80)), p = 0.049), although the stoma rate was the same (4/43 9.5%; 7/80 9.9%). (4) Conclusions: This study has shown that post-operative complication rate is similar for right colectomy in CD and CRC. However, Crohn's disease patients did have a higher leak rate.

Abstract
Within the intricate field of rectal cancer surgery, the contentious debate over the optimal level of ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) persists as an ongoing discussion, influencing surgical approaches and patient outcomes. This narrative review incorporates historical perspectives, technical considerations, and functional as well as oncological outcomes, addressing key questions related to anastomotic leakage risks, genitourinary function, and oncological concerns, providing a more critical understanding of the well-known inconclusive evidence. Beyond the dichotomy of high versus low tie, it navigates the complexities of colorectal cancer surgery with a fresh perspective, posing a transformative question: "Is low tie ligation truly reproducible?" Considering a multidimensional approach that enhances patient outcomes by integrating the surgeon, patient, technique, and technology, instead of a rigid and categorical statement, we argued that a balanced response to this challenging question may require compromise.

Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with chemotherapy, there is no consensus on the timing of ileostomy closure. Ileostomy reversal could improve the quality of life and minimise the long-term adverse events of delayed closure. In this study, we evaluated the impact of chemotherapy on ileostomy closure and searched for the predictive factors for complications. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 212 patients with rectal cancer who underwent ileostomy closure surgery during and without chemotherapy and were consecutively enrolled between 2010 and 2016. As a result of the heterogeneity of the two groups, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed with a 1:1 PSM cohort. RESULTS A total of 162 patients were included in the analysis. The overall stoma closure-related complications (12.4% vs. 11.1%, p = 1.00) and major complications (2.5% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.44) were not significantly different between the two groups. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that chronic kidney disease and bevacizumab use are risk factors for major complications. CONCLUSION Patients with oral or intravenous chemotherapy can safely have ileostomy closure with an adequate time delay from chemotherapy. When patients use bevacizumab, major complications related to ileostomy closure should still be cautioned.

Abstract
The occurrence of leakage from anastomotic sites is a significant issue given its potential undesirable complications. The management of anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery is particularly crucial because it is directly associated with mortality and morbidity in patients. If adhesive materials could be used to support suturing in surgical procedures, many complications caused by leakage from the anastomosis sites could be prevented. In this study, we have developed self-healing, shear-thinning, tissue-adhesive, carbon-black-containing, gallic acid-conjugated chitosan (CB/Chi-gallol) hydrogels as sealing materials to be used with suturing. The addition of CB into Chi-gallol solution resulted in the formation of a crosslinked hydrogel with instantaneous solidification. In addition, these CB/Chi-gallol hydrogels showed enhancement of the elastic modulus (G') values with increased CB concentration. Furthermore, these hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing, shear-thinning, and tissue-adhesive properties. Notably, the hydrogels successfully sealed the incision site with suturing, resulting in a significant increase in the bursting pressure. The proposed self-healing and adhesive hydrogels are potentially useful in versatile biomedical applications, particularly as suture support materials for surgical procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current pooling up analysis aimed to evaluate whether aortic calcification (AC) was a potential risk factor for anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery. METHODS In this study, we searched studies in three databases including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library on April 20, 2022. In order to investigate the association between AC and AL, the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of AC were pooled up. Our study was performed with RevMan 5.3 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS We finally enrolled eight studies involving 1955 patients for statistical analysis. As for all patients, we found that AC could significantly increase the risk of AL after surgery (HR = 2.31, I2 = 0%, 95%CI = 1.58 to 3.38, P < 0.01). In five studies including patients undergoing colorectal surgery (benign diseases and cancers), AC was also a risk factor for AL (HR = 3.30, I2 = 2%; 95%CI = 1.83 to 5.95, P < 0.01). In terms of the other three studies that only included CRC patients, there was still a correction between AC and AL (HR = 1.80, I2 = 0%, 95%CI = 1.10 to 2.96, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Patients with AC were more likely to develop AL after colorectal surgery. Moreover, subgroup analysis suggested that AC was a predictor for AL after CRC surgery.

Intraoperative bowel perfusion assessment methods and their effects on anastomotic leak rates: meta-analysis. Br J Surg 2023; 110:1131-1142. [PMID: 37253021 PMCID: PMC10416696 DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znad154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leak is one of the most feared complications of colorectal surgery, and probably linked to poor blood supply to the anastomotic site. Several technologies have been described for intraoperative assessment of bowel perfusion. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the most frequently used bowel perfusion assessment modalities in elective colorectal procedures, and to assess their associated risk of anastomotic leak. Technologies included indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, laser speckle contrast imaging, and hyperspectral imaging. METHODS The review was preregistered with PROSPERO (CRD42021297299). A comprehensive literature search was performed using Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. The final search was undertaken on 29 July 2022. Data were extracted by two reviewers and the MINORS criteria were applied to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS Some 66 eligible studies involving 11 560 participants were included. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography was most used with 10 789 participants, followed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with 321, hyperspectral imaging with 265, and laser speckle contrast imaging with 185. In the meta-analysis, the total pooled effect of an intervention on anastomotic leak was 0.05 (95 per cent c.i. 0.04 to 0.07) in comparison with 0.10 (0.08 to 0.12) without. Use of indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, hyperspectral imaging, or laser speckle contrast imaging was associated with a significant reduction in anastomotic leak. CONCLUSION Bowel perfusion assessment reduced the incidence of anastomotic leak, with intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, hyperspectral imaging, and laser speckle contrast imaging all demonstrating comparable results.

Abstract
Anastomotic leakage (AL) of a gastrointestinal (GI) anastomosis continues to be an important complication in GI surgery. Since its introduction more than 60 years ago, Cyanoacrylate (CA) has gained popularity in colorectal surgery to provide "prophylaxis" against AL. However, although in surgical practice it is increasingly used, evidence on humans is still lacking. The aim of this study is to analyze in humans the safety of CA to seal colorectal anastomosis. All consecutive patients from Jannuary 2022 through December 2022 who underwent minimally invasive colorectal surgery were retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively maintained database. Inclusion criteria were a histological diagnosis of cancer, a totally minimally invasive procedure, and the absence of intraoperative complications. 103 patients were included in the study; N-butyl cyanoacrylate with metacryloxisulfolane (Glubran 2®) was used to seal colorectal anastomosis, no adverse reactions to CA or postoperative complications related to inflammation and adhesions occurred; and only one case of AL (0.9%) was recorded. We can consider this study an important proof of concept on the safety of CA to seal colorectal anastomosis. It opens the possibility of starting prospective and comparative studies in humans to evaluate the effectiveness of CA in preventing colorectal AL.

Reconstruction, oversewing, or taking the anastomosis down - which surgical intervention is most potent in the treatment of anastomotic leaks following colorectal resections? Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:266. [PMID: 37405509 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02986-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leak (AL) following colorectal resections can be treated interventionally. However, most cases require surgical intervention. Thus, several surgical techniques are available, which intend to affect the further course positively. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to determine which surgical technique proves to have the biggest potential in reducing the morbidity and mortality as well as to minimize the need of re-interventions after AL. METHODS All patients with a history of AL following colorectal resection between 2008 and 2020 were analyzed. Patient's outcomes following surgical treatment of AL, including morbidity and mortality, clinical and para-clinical (laboratory examinations, ultrasound, and CT-scan) detection of AL recurrence, re-intervention rate, and the length of hospital stay were documented and correlated with the surgical technique used (e.g. simply over-sewing the AL, over-sewing the AL with the construction of a protective ileostomy, resection and reconstruction of the anastomosis, peritoneal lavage and transanal drainage, or taking the anastomosis down and constructing an end stoma). RESULTS A total of 2,724 colorectal resections were documented. Grade C AL occurred in 92 (4.4% AL occurrence-rate) and 31 (7.2% AL occurrence-rate) cases following colon and rectal resections, respectively. The anastomosis was not preservable in 52 and 17 cases following colon and rectal resections, respectively. Therefore, the anastomosis had been taken down and an end-stoma had been constructed. Over-sewing the AL with the construction of a protective ileostomy had the highest anastomosis preservation rate (14 of 18 cases) and lowest re-intervention rate (mean value of 1.5 re-interventions) following colon and rectal resections (7 of 9 cases; mean value, 1.5 re-interventions). CONCLUSION In cases where an AL is preservable, over-sewing the anastomosis and constructing a protective ileostomy has the greatest potential for positive short-term outcomes following colorectal resections.

Is preoperative hypoalbuminemia or hypoproteinemia a reliable marker for anastomotic leakage risk in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery in an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program? Int J Colorectal Dis 2023; 38:152. [PMID: 37256440 PMCID: PMC10232607 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-023-04450-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative hypoalbuminemia has traditionally been used as a marker of nutritional status and is considered a significant risk factor for anastomotic leak (AL). METHODS The Westmead Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (WERAS) prospectively collected database, consisting of 361 patients who underwent colorectal surgery with primary anastomosis, was interrogated. Preoperative serum albumin and protein levels (measured within 1 week of surgery) were plotted on receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) and statistically analyzed for cutoff values, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV). RESULTS The incidence of AL was 4.4% (16/361). Overall mortality was 1.4% (5/361), 6.3% (1/16) in the AL group, and 1.2% (4/345) in the no AL group. The median preoperative albumin and protein level in the AL group were 39 g/L and 75 g/L, respectively. The median preoperative albumin and protein level in the no AL group were 38 g/L and 74 g/L, respectively. The Mann-Whitney U test showed no statistically significant difference in albumin levels (p = 0.4457) nor protein levels (p = 0.6245) in the AL and no AL groups. ROC curves demonstrated that preoperative albumin and protein levels were not good predictors of anastomotic leak. Cutoff values for albumin (38 g/L) and protein (75 g/L) both had poor PPV for AL (4.8% and 3.8% respectively). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery as part of an ERAS program, preoperative serum albumin and protein levels are not reliable in predicting AL. This may be because of nutritional supplementation provided as part of an ERAS program may correct nutritional deficits to protect against AL or that low albumin/protein is not as robust a marker of AL as previously reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage has been reported to occur when the load on the anastomotic site exceeds the resistance created by sutures, staples, and early scars. It may be possible to avoid anastomotic leakage by covering and reinforcing the anastomotic site with a biocompatible material. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a novel external reinforcement device for gastrointestinal anastomosis in an experimental model. METHODS A single pig was used in this non-survival study, and end-to-end anastomoses were created in six small bowel loops by a single-stapling technique using a circular stapler. Three of the six anastomoses were covered with a novel external reinforcement device. Air was injected, a pressure test of each anastomosis was performed, and the bursting pressure was measured. RESULTS Reinforcement of the anastomotic site with the device was successfully performed in all anastomoses. The bursting pressure was 76.1 ± 5.7 mmHg in the control group, and 126.8 ± 6.8 mmHg in the device group, respectively. The bursting pressure in the device group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS The novel external reinforcement device was safe and feasible for reinforcing the anastomoses in the experimental model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomosis leak is one of the significant postoperative complications after colorectal surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the evidence relative to the preoperative assessment of the colon and rectum blood supply and to investigate its role in predicting anastomosis leak. METHOD This systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook for Reviews of Interventions and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify eligible studies. The main outcome variable was the preoperative assessment of patterns of blood supply to the colon and the impact of these patterns on anastomosis leak. The quality of bias control in the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the included studies, no meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS Fourteen studies were included. The study covered a period from 1978 to 2021. A significant degree of variation in the arterial and/or venous supply of the colon and rectum might influence anastomosis leak rates. Calcification in great blood vessels can be assessed with a preoperative computed tomography scan, which may predict anastomosis leak rates. This is supported by many experimental studies that showed increased rates of anastomosis leak after preoperative ischemia, but the extent of this impact is not well established. CONCLUSION Preoperative assessment of blood supply to the colon and rectum might help in planning the surgical intervention to reduce anastomosis leak rates. Calcium scoring of major arteries might predict anastomosis leak and thus play a crucial role in intraoperative decision-making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to longer life expectancy, an increasing number of older people are at risk of developing cancer. Surgical resection of a non-metastatic and resectable digestive tumor remains the main therapeutic weapon. The objective of our study is to assess the possibility of curative oncological surgery in patients over 80years of age, to study its impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, and to look for risk factors for the occurrence of complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study-included patients aged 80 and over operated on for digestive cancer in a curative situation. This was a multicenter prospective cohort study. A total of 230 patients were included in the study. In addition to demographic and medical data, the patients all benefited from an onco-geriatric assessment with the performance of various tests: WHO score, G8 score, IADL score, ADL score, mobility score, nutritional assessment, clock, thymic evaluation (Mini-GDS). Data collection of geriatric scores was repeated 3months postoperatively. RESULTS Of a total of 230 patients, 51% were male and 49% female. The average age was 84.7years. Tumor localization was mainly colorectal (65.81%). Age had no influence on the mortality rate, with a mean age with no significant difference in the event of an unfavorable outcome or not (84.6 vs. 85years). The results at the different scores were then analyzed in search of a significant difference between preoperative and at 3months. The only significant difference found was in the number of patients with a WHO status of 0 (P=0.021). CONCLUSION Our study shows that curative oncological surgery is possible in elderly patients without any adverse effect on their quality of life and level of postoperative autonomy. The multidisciplinary geriatric approach to the patient must make it possible to distinguish the patients who will benefit from a curative treatment and those in whom the benefit-risk balance is unfavorable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether to ligate the inferior mesenteric artery at its root during anterior resection for sigmoid colon or rectal cancer is still under debate. This study compared the surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, and anastomotic leakage between high and low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery through a subgroup analysis. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. All patients who underwent colorectal resection for rectosigmoid cancer between December 2016 and December 2019 were enrolled. According to the surgical ligation level of the inferior mesenteric artery, the patients were categorized into either the high or low ligation group. The investigated population was matched using the propensity score method. RESULTS Overall, 894 patients with sigmoid or rectal cancer underwent elective anterior resection with high (577 patients) or low (317 patients) ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery. After the propensity score matching, 245 patients in each group were compared. High ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery was associated with higher incidence of anastomotic leakage (14.9% vs. 5.6%, P = 0.041) for mid- to low-rectum tumors and a higher incidence of complications (8.6% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.013) of grades 1-2 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. CONCLUSION Compared with high ligation, low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery resulted in lower likelihood of morbidity and mortality in rectal and sigmoid cancers. Moreover, low ligation was less likely to result in anastomosis leakage in mid- to low-rectal cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) mitigates variations and subjectivity in the use and interpretation of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in the current visualization paradigm of real-time intraoperative tissue blood flow/perfusion in clinically relevant scenarios. METHODS De novo laparoscopic imaging form-factor detecting real-time blood flow using LSCI and blood volume by near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) of ICG was compared to ICG NIRF alone, for dye-less real-time visualization of tissue blood flow/perfusion. Experienced surgeons examined LSCI and ICG in segmentally devascularized intestine, partial gastrectomy, and the renal hilum across six porcine models. Precision and accuracy of identifying demarcating lines of ischemia/perfusion in tissues were determined in blinded subjects with varying levels of surgical experience. RESULTS Unlike ICG, LSCI perfusion detection was real time (latency < 150 ms: p < 0.01), repeatable and on-demand without fluorophore injection. Operating surgeons (n = 6) precisely and accurately identified concordant demarcating lines in white light, LSCI, and ICG modes immediately. Blinded subjects (n = 21) demonstrated similar spatial-temporal precision and accuracy with all three modes ≤ 2 min after ICG injection, and discordance in ICG mode at ≥ 5 min in devascularized small intestine (p < 0.0001) and in partial gastrectomy (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Combining LSCI for near real-time blood flow detection with ICG fluorescence for blood volume detection significantly improves precision and accuracy of perfusion detection in tissue locations over time, in real time, and repeatably on-demand than ICG alone.

Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:55. [PMID: 36683099 PMCID: PMC9868041 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02809-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
AIM Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most dreaded complications in colorectal surgery. In 2013, the International Classification of Diseases code K91.83 for AL was introduced in Germany, allowing nationwide analysis of AL rates and associated parameters. The aim of this population-based study was to investigate the current incidence, risk factors, mortality, clinical management, and associated costs of AL in colorectal surgery. METHODS A data query was performed based on diagnosis-related group data of all hospital cases of inpatients undergoing colon or sphincter-preserving rectal resections between 2013 and 2018 in Germany. RESULTS A total number of 690,690 inpatient cases were included in this study. AL rates were 6.7% for colon resections and 9.2% for rectal resections in 2018. Regarding the treatment of AL, the application of endoluminal vacuum therapy increased during the studied period, while rates of relaparotomy, abdominal vacuum therapy, and terminal enterostomy remained stable. AL was associated with significantly increased in-house mortality (7.11% vs. 20.11% for colon resections and 3.52% vs. 11.33% for rectal resections in 2018) and higher socioeconomic costs (mean hospital reimbursement volume per case: 14,877€ (no AL) vs. 37,521€ (AL) for colon resections and 14,602€ (no AL) vs. 30,606€ (AL) for rectal resections in 2018). CONCLUSIONS During the studied time period, AL rates did not decrease, and associated mortality remained at a high level. Our study provides updated population-based data on the clinical and economic burden of AL in Germany. Focused research in the field of AL is still urgently necessary to develop targeted strategies to prevent AL, improve patient care, and decrease socioeconomic costs.

Abstract
Background anastomosis leak still being a handicap in colorectal surgery. Bowel mechanical preparation and oral antibiotics are not a practice recommended in many clinical practice guides. The aim is to analyse the decrease in frequency and severity of postoperative complications, mainly related to anastomotic leak, after the establishment of a bundle. Methods Single-center, before-after study. A bundle was implemented to reduce anastomotic leaks and their consequences. The Bundle group were matched to Pre-bundle group by propensity score matching. Mechanical bowel preparation, oral and intravenous antibiotics, inflammatory markers measure and early diagnosis algorithm were included at the bundle. Results The bundle group shown fewer complications, especially in Clavien Dindós Grade IV complications (2.3% vs. 6.2% p < 0.01), as well as a lower rate of anastomotic leakage (15.5% vs. 2.2% p < 0.01). A significant decrease in reinterventions, less intensive unit care admissions, a shorter hospital stay and fewer readmissions were also observed. In multivariate analysis, the application of a bundle was an anastomotic leakage protective factor (OR 0.121, p > 0.05). Conclusions The implementation of our bundle in colorectal surgery which include oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and inflammatory markers, significantly reduces morbidity adjusted to severity of complications, the anastomotic leakage rate, hospital stay and readmissions. Register study The study has been registered at clinicaltrials.gov Code: nct04632446.

When should indocyanine green be assessed in colorectal surgery, and at what distance from the tissue? Quantitative measurement using the SERGREEN program. Surg Endosc 2022; 36:8943-8949. [PMID: 35668312 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09343-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Suture dehiscence is one of the most feared postoperative complications. Correct intestinal vascularization is essential for its prevention. Indocyanine green (ICG) is one of the methods used to assess vascularization, but this assessment is usually subjective. Our group designed the SERGREEN program to obtain an objective measurement of the degree of vascularization. We do not know how long after ICG administration the fluorescence of the tissues should be evaluated, or how far away the measurement should be performed. The aim of this study is to establish the optimal moment and distance for analyzing the fluorescence saturation of ICG. METHODS Prospective observational study in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The optimal time for ICG analysis was tested in a sample of 20 patients (10 right colon and 10 left colon), and the optimal distance in a sample of ten patients. ICG was administered intravenously, and colon vascularization was quantified using SERGREEN; RGB (Red, Green, Blue) encoding was used. The intensity curve of the ICG was analyzed for ten minutes after its administration. Distances of 1, 3, and 5 cm were tested. RESULTS The intensity of fluorescence increased until 1.5 min after ICG administration (reaching figures of 112.49 in the right colon and 93.95 in the left). It then remained fairly stable until 3.5 min (98.49 in the right and 83.35 in the left), at which point it began to decrease gradually. ICG saturation was inversely proportional to the distance between the camera and the tissue. The best distance was 5 cm, where the confidence interval was narrower [CI 86.66-87.53]. CONCLUSION The optimal time for determining ICG in the colon is between 1.5 and 3.5 min, in both right and left colon. The optimal distance is 5 cm. This information will help to establish parameters of comparison in normal and pathological situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery is well-researched, yet the effect of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) after Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) is unclear. Assessment of risk factors in these patients may assist surgeons during perioperative decision making. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective study of patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC for colorectal peritoneal metastases. Main outcome measures were anastomotic leakage and associated morbidity. RESULTS AL was observed in 17 of the 234 (7.3%) anastomoses in 17 of the total of 165 (10.3%) of patients. No association was observed between the number and location of anastomoses and AL, although only one in 87 small bowel anastomoses showed leakage. The only factor associated with AL was administration of bevacizumab within 60 days prior to surgery with an odds ratio (OR) of 6.13 (1.32-28.39), P = 0.03. Deviating stomata were not statistically protective of increased morbidity, although more AL occurred in the patients with colocolic and colorectal anastomoses when no concomitant deviating stoma was created. Deviation stomata were reversed in 52.6%, and no AL was observed after stoma reversal. CONCLUSION The overall AL rate of CRS-HIPEC is comparable to colorectal surgery, and there is no cumulative risk of multiple anastomoses - especially in the case of small bowel anastomoses. Deviating stomata should be considered in patients with colocolic or colorectal anastomosis, although there is a significant chance that the stoma will not be reversed in these patients. Due to increased AL-risk surgeons should be aware of previous bevacizumab treatment, and plan the CRS-HIPEC at least 60 days after the treatment-day.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bowel resection is often required to obtain complete removal of ovarian cancer. A major complication of this operation is anastomotic leakage, which has been shown to increase morbidity and mortality in this population. Numerous original research studies have assessed the risk factors for anastomotic leaks. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify statistically significant risk factors. This meta-analysis identified multiple bowel resections as the only significant risk factor. With further research to identify additional risk factors, new management guidelines could be implemented to minimize the risk of anastomotic leaks and improve patient outcomes. Abstract Introduction: Anastomotic leaks (AL) following ovarian cytoreduction surgery could be detrimental, leading to significant delays in commencing adjuvant chemotherapy, prolonged hospital stays and increased morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with anastomotic leaks after ovarian cytoreduction surgery. Material and methods: The MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Scopus bibliographical databases were searched. Original clinical studies investigating risk factors for AL in ovarian cytoreduction surgery were included. Results: Eighteen studies with non-overlapping populations reporting on patients undergoing cytoreduction surgery for ovarian cancer (n = 4622, including 344 cases complicated by AL) were included in our analysis. Patients undergoing ovarian cytoreduction surgery complicated by AL had a significantly higher rate of 30-day mortality but no difference in 60-day mortality. Multiple bowel resections were associated with an increased risk of postoperative AL, while no association was observed with body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, age, smoking, operative approach (primary versus interval cytoreductive, stapled versus hand-sewn anastomoses and formation of diverting stoma), neoadjuvant chemotherapy and use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Discussion: Multiple bowel resections were the only clinical risk factor associated with increased risk for AL after bowel surgery in the ovarian cancer population. The increased 30-day mortality rate in patients undergoing ovarian cytoreduction complicated by AL highlights the need to minimize the number of bowel resections in this population. Further studies are required to clarify any association between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and decreased AL rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Collagen degradation can lead to early postoperative weakness in colorectal anastomosis. Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) are shown to decrease collagen breakdown and enhance healing in anastomosis in animal models. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness of a novel anastomotic augmentation ring (AAR) that releases doxycycline, an MMPI, from a poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid ring in porcine anastomoses. METHODS Two end-to-end stapled colorectal anastomoses were performed in 20 Yorkshire-Hampshire pigs. AAR was randomly incorporated into either the proximal or distal anastomosis as treatment, while nonaugmented anastomosis served as a control. Animals were then euthanized on days 3, 4, and 5 before anastomosis explantation and burst pressure measurement. Each anastomosis site was also collected for histology, hydroxyproline content, and gene expression microarray analyses. RESULTS No abscess or anastomotic leak was detected. Average burst pressures were not significantly different at any time point. There is no statistical difference in collagen content between the treatment group and controls. Gene expression analysis revealed no statistically significant in differentially expressed genes. However, genes related to inflammation, such as C-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11), CD70, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), were upregulated (not statistically significant) in AAR compared to non-AAR anastomosis sites on days 3 and 4. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study shows that doxycycline-release AAR is feasible and safe. While burst pressure and collagen content did not change significantly with doxycycline treatment, upregulating genes related to the inflammatory process for pathogen and debris clearance in AAR may improve the early stage of colorectal anastomotic healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication following intestinal procedures. Intra.Ox™ by ViOptix Inc (Newark, CA, USA) is a novel, FDA-approved spectroscopic device which enables real-time measurement of mixed tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). Using a porcine model, this study explores the correlation between StO2 measurements and AL formation as well as investigates the applicability of Intra.Ox™ in the clinical setting. METHODS Eleven female swine were divided into 3 groups to explore AL formation in different ischemic conditions. Group 1: 100% mesenteric-vascular ligation, n = 3; Group 2: 50% ligation, n = 5; Group 3: No mesenteric ligation, n = 3. StO2 at the anastomotic line was measured before and after vessel ligation and anastomosis. Measurements were taken at 6 distinct locations along afferent and efferent loops. AL was evaluated on postoperative day 5 by re-laparotomy. RESULTS AL rate was 100%, 60% and 0% in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Post-anastomotic StO2 in group 1 (22.9 ± 18.5%) and 2 (39.2 ± 20.1%) were significantly lower than in group 3 (53.1 ± 8.3%, p<.0001). Post-anastomotic StO2 readings ≤40% indicated AL potential with 100% sensitivity,+ 80% specificity, positive predictive value of 85.7% and negative predictive value of 100%. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the value of Intra.Ox™ in assessing local perfusion and indicate the association between low StO2 and AL by providing accurate, real-time, noninvasive tissue oxygenation measurements at anastomotic sites. Further studies are required to investigate the clinical application of this novel device in intestinal surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of inflammatory markers in the early diagnosis of complications of colorectal cancer surgical treatment.Methods: the study was conducted in the Medical Research and Education Center of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov from 2019 to 2021. The study included all patients who underwent surgical treatment for colorectal cancer in the 1st surgical department of the Moscow Research and Educational Center, Lomonosov Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov. The study examined clinical and laboratory data based on case histories of patients with stage II-III colorectal cancer, who underwent elective colorectal cancer treatment with lymph node dissection with the formation of a primary anastomosis. All patients underwent routine proctography in the early postoperative period.Results: The study included 80 patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer, of which 26 had septic complications, including clinically insignificant anastomosis leakage. Statistically significant differences was found between the groups of patient with and without septic complications on the 2nd day of the postoperative day in terms of the absolute level of leukocytes (p=0.01), hemoglobin (p=0.07), total protein (p=0.02) and C-reactive protein (p=0.03).Conclusion: An increase in the level of markers of the inflammatory response, such as the number of leukocytes, the level of total protein and the level of C-reactive protein, can be observed already at a relatively early postoperative period in patients with infectious complications, including those with clinically insignificant intestinal anastomotic leaks.

Abstract
Tissue ischemia is a key risk factor in anastomotic leak (AL). Indocyanine green (ICG) is widely used in colorectal surgery to define the segments with the best vascularization. In an experimental model, we present a new system for quantifying ICG fluorescence intensity, the SERGREEN software. Controlled experimental study with eight pigs. In the initial control stage, ICG fluorescence intensity was analyzed at the level of two anastomoses, in the right and in the left colon. Control images of the two segments were taken after ICG administration. The images were processed with the SERGREEN program. Then, in the experimental ischemia stage, the inferior mesenteric artery was sectioned at the level of the anastomosis of the left colon. Fifteen minutes after the section, sequential images of the two anastomoses were taken every 30 min for the following 2 h. At the control stage, the mean scores were 134.2 (95% CI 116.3–152.2) for the right colon and 147 (95% CI 134.7–159.3) for the left colon (p = 0.174) (Scale RGB—Red, Green, Blue). The right colon remained stable throughout the experiment. In the left colon, intensity fell by 47.9 points with respect to the pre-ischemia value (p < 0.01). After the first post-ischemia determination, the values of the ischemic left colon remained stable throughout the experiment. The relative decrease in ICG fluorescence intensity of the ischemic left colon was 32.6%. The SERGREEN program quantifies ICG fluorescence intensity in normal and ischemic situations and detects differences between them. A reduction in ICG fluorescence intensity of 32.6% or more was correlated with complete tissue ischemia.

Abstract
Objectives: The cornerstone of treating colorectal cancer (CRC) is generally a surgical resection with lymph node (LN) dissection. The tools for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in submucosal (SM) CRC are useful to avoid unnecessary surgical resection. Methods: Retrospectively, we analyzed 526 consecutive patients with SM CRC who underwent surgical resection at the Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka University Hospital, and Minoh City Hospital, Japan, between 1984 and 2012. The Osaka International Cancer Institute group and the Osaka University Hospital group were randomly divided into a training set and a test set of 2:1. The prediction model was validated in Minoh City Hospital. Results: We partitioned patients using three risk factors involved in the presence or absence of LNM in SM CRC: lymphatic invasion (Ly), budding grade (BD) and the depth of submucosal invasion (DSI) (cut-off value 2789 μm) that were significantly different in the multivariate analysis. As a result, a predictive model of “LNM <5%” when “Ly negative and DSI <2789 μm” was evaluated. We similarly partitioned by DSI 3000 μm as easy-to-evaluate values in clinical use. We developed the additional model for predicting LNM is 1.05%, that is, LNM <5%, when there are “Ly negative and DSI <3000 μm.” Conclusions: As a limitation, only patients who underwent surgical resection were included in this study. This predictive model could help clinicians and CRC patients decide on the additional surgery required after endoscopic resection.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery remains debatable. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of EIN administration in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Methods From January 2000 to January 2022, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were thoroughly searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with EIN versus standard diet or no supplement in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Overall complications and infectious complications were the primary outcomes. The secondary results were non-infectious complications, mortality, length of hospital stay, and enteral nutrition-related complications. Results Thirty-five studies reporting 3,692 patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer (including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, periampullary cancer, or pancreatic cancer) were included. Compared with the control group, EIN group had a significantly decreased incidence of overall complications (RR = 0.79, p < 0.001). Infectious complications in patients who received EIN were considerably lower than in the control group (RR = 0.66, p < 0.001). Compared to the control group, the incidence of surgical site infection, abdominal abscess, anastomotic leakage, bacteremia, duration of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and duration of antibiotic therapy was significantly lower in the specific infectious complications treated with EIN. Still, there was no significant difference between the two groups with other infectious complications. Moreover, a substantial shortening in the length of hospital stay was shown in EIN group compared with the control group. Still, no significant effect of EIN was demonstrated in non-infectious complicatios and mortality. The enteral nutrition-related complications had no significant difference between two groups. Conclusions EIN is safe and effective in reducing overall complications, infectious complications, and hospital stay in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery (including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, periampullary cancer, or pancreatic cancer).

Abstract
In order to prevent anastomotic leakage (AL) following rectal surgery, various solutions—such as intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and transanal drainage tubes (TDT)—have been proposed. This study investigated the relationship between intestinal perfusion and fecal volume through TDT in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR). A total of 59 rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic LAR with both intraoperative ICG angiography and postoperative TDT placement were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between intestinal perfusion and fecal volume through TDT was examined. Based on the ICG fluorescence, the transection site was shifted more proximally in 20 cases (33.9%). Symptomatic AL occurred in seven patients (11.8%). The AL rate of the patients whose daily fecal volume exceeded 100 mL/day in 2 or more days was significantly higher than that of those whose daily fecal volume exceeded it in 0 or 1 day (44.4% vs. 6.0%; p < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the need for a proximal shift of the transection site was significantly associated with a high fecal volume. The quantitative analysis of ICG fluorescence indicated that Fmax (the fluorescence difference between the baseline and maximum) was significantly associated with fecal volume through TDT.

Abstract
Anastomotic insufficiencies still represent one of the most severe complications in colorectal surgery. Since tissue perfusion highly affects anastomotic healing, its objective assessment is an unmet clinical need. Indocyanine green-based fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) have received great interest in recent years but surgeons have to decide between both techniques. For the first time, two data processing pipelines capable of reconstructing an ICG-FA correlating signal from hyperspectral data were developed. Results were technically evaluated and compared to ground truth data obtained during colorectal resections. In 87% of 46 data sets, the reconstructed images resembled the ground truth data. The combined applicability of ICG-FA and HSI within one imaging system might provide supportive and complementary information about tissue vascularization, shorten surgery time, and reduce perioperative mortality.

Abstract
Background Fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has revolutionized commonly performed general surgical procedures by providing superior anatomic imaging and enhancing safety for patients. ICG, when injected, shows a bright green fluorescence when subjected to the near infra-red (NIR) spectrum. Materials and methods We employed the use of ICG in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Intestinal Colorectal Anastomosis and Hernia to assess vascularity of resected ends and bowel viability, Sentinel Lymph node mapping, Vascular surgery to assess amputation stump success and in assessing Flap Vascularity and healing. Results ICG when administered had successfully shown bright green fluorescence in different cases thereby aiding in surgical procedures. Conclusion Routine intraoperative use of ICG could pave the way for a more objective assessment of different surgical circumstances and thereby reduce personalized barriers to aciurgy. ICG fluorescence therefore seems to be a promising apparatus in standard general surgical procedures minimizing untoward errors and improving patient conformance. Fluorescence guided surgery, due to its enhanced visualization ability, has assisted surgeons in minimizing errors. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the only fluorophore to be used in humans and has a wide margin of safety. ICG shows a bright green fluorescence when subjected to near infra-red spectrum. Fluorescence imaging using ICG is a valuable accompaniment to open and laparoscopic surgery. Routine use of ICG provides better visual assessment which helps in decision making, thereby improving patient outcome.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate whether visualization of the colon perfusion with indocyanine green near-infrared fluoroangiography (ICG-NIFA) reduces the rate of anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal anastomosis. Methods Patients who underwent elective left colectomy, including all procedures involving the sigmoid colon and the rectum with a colorectal or coloanal anastomosis, were retrospectively analyzed for their demographics, operative details, and the rate of AL. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare patients with and without ICG-NIFA-based evaluation. Results Overall, our study included 132 colorectal resections [70 sigmoid resections and 62 total mesorectal excisions (TMEs)], of which 70 (53%) were performed with and 62 (47%) without ICG-NIFA. Patients' characteristics were similar between both the groups. The majority of the procedures [91 (69%)] were performed by certified colorectal surgeons, while 41 (31%) operations were supervised teaching procedures. In the ICG-NIFA group, bowel perfusion could be visualized by fluorescence (dye) in all 70 cases, and no adverse effects related to the fluorescent dye were observed. Following ICG-NIFA, the transection line was changed in 9 (12.9%) cases. Overall, 10 (7.6%) patients developed AL, 1 (1.4%) in the ICG-NIFA group and 9 (14.5%) in the no-ICG-NIFA group (p = 0.006). The multivariate analysis revealed ICG-NIFA as an independent factor to reduce AL. Conclusion These results suggest that ICG-NIFA might be a valuable tool to reduce the rate of AL in sigmoid and rectal resections in an educational setting.

Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2022; 46:101857. [PMID: 34963649 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2021.101857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Digestive cancer is of concern because of its frequency and severity with an increasing older median age of onset. The purpose of this study was to describe in a well-defined population presenting with non-metastatic digestive cancer the frequency of surgical resection and outcomes according to age. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 7760 patients with a non-metastatic digestive cancer, recorded in the Burgundy population-based digestive cancer registry between 2009 and 2017. There were 3506 non-colorectal cancers and 4254 colorectal cancers with 3292 colon and 962 rectal cancers. The frequency of surgical resection was analyzed according to age (classified into four categories <70, [70-80[, [80-85[, and ≥85), sex, comorbidities and obesity. Postoperative mortality at 30 and 90 days was determined according to age, sex, comorbidity, obesity, location, surgery R0 or not. The 5-year survival study included 2952 patients with colorectal cancer, non-metastatic and who benefited from an R0 resection. RESULTS Overall, 64% of the patients with M0 digestive cancer underwent a surgical resection, varying from 31% for Non colorectal Digestive cancers to 94% for colon site. The percentage of patients operated on for a resectable disease decreases from 71% before age 70 to 43% from age 85. Age and comorbidities were the main criteria influencing the probability of resection. At 30 days, postoperative mortality was 3%, all localizations and ages combined. At 90 days, this rate was 5%. In patients over 85 years old it gradually increases from 7% at 30 days and to 10% at 90 days. A man under 70 years of age has a net survival of 0.88 at 5 years, and 0.91 for a woman. For a man between 70 and 80 years old, it decreases to 0.81 and to 0.66 from 80 years old. In women, net survival is 0.87 between 70 and 80 years of age at 5 years, then drops to 0.75 from age 80. CONCLUSION Our study shows a drop in access to surgery at different pivotal ages depending on the tumor location. This sudden drop in the resection rate is not justified by the increase in mortality with age, which is linear. In addition, the expected benefits of surgery are significant, with a net survival, mainly after the 1st year, of the same order as for younger patients. Age by itself should not be the only criterion in the medical decision. The challenge is to detect and treat the comorbidities that worsen the operative risk and the prognosis. There are few data on the management of digestive cancers specifically in the elderly. Our study shows that access to surgery is strongly linked to age and this in a non-linear way, whereas the expected benefits of surgery are significant, of the same order as for younger patients. Age itself should not be the only criterion in the medical decision.

Abstract
Introduction
Laparoscopic reconstruction after left colectomy is mostly performed with functional end-to-end anastomosis through about 5–7 cm sized incision. However, this procedure poses some problems, including increased intestinal mobilization range and parietal destruction, insufficient blood flow to the intestinal tract due to arterial arch malformation, and dominant artery dissection. In this paper, we present a case of descending colon cancer for which totally laparoscopic surgery and intracorporeal anastomosis could be performed safely with preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation.
Case presentation
A 34-year-old male was complaint fecal occult blood positive and a colonoscopy was performed. The patient was diagnosed with descending colon cancer cT2N0N0 Stage I. Preoperative CT angiography findings showed that the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) branched into the left colic artery (LCA) and the sigmoid arteries (S1, S2) in order and showed LCA and S1 as the dominant arteries, and a totally laparoscopic descending colectomy (D2 dissection and S2 artery preserving) was scheduled. At his operation, for investigate blood flow of anastomotic region, ICG was used. After an intravenous injection of ICG, blood flow was evaluated and intestinal dissection was performed at the scheduled dissection line. Intracorporeal anastomosis was then performed using the overlap method and a linear stapler.
Conclusion
Although the intracorporeal anastomosis procedure has a high degree of difficulty, the use of preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation may reduce the surgeon's intraoperative stress and enable safe and accurate intestinal dissection and anastomosis in the totally laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
AIM Anastomotic leakage after restorative surgery for rectal cancer shows high morbidity and related mortality. Identification of risk factors could change operative planning, with indications for stoma construction. This retrospective multicentre study aims to assess the anastomotic leak rate, identify the independent risk factors and develop a clinical prediction model to calculate the probability of leakage. METHODS The study used data from 24 Italian referral centres of the Colorectal Cancer Network of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology. Patients were classified into two groups, AL (anastomotic leak) or NoAL (no anastomotic leak). The effect of patient-, disease-, treatment- and postoperative outcome-related factors on anastomotic leak after univariable and multivariable analysis was measured. RESULTS A total of 5398 patients were included, 552 in group AL and 4846 in group NoAL. The overall incidence of leaks was 10.2%, with a mean time interval of 6.8 days. The 30-day leak-related mortality was 2.6%. Sex, body mass index, tumour location, type of approach, number of cartridges employed, weight loss, clinical T stage and combined multiorgan resection were identified as independent risk factors. The stoma did not reduce the leak rate but significantly decreased leak severity and reoperation rate. A nomogram with a risk score (RALAR score) was developed to predict anastomotic leak risk at the end of resection. CONCLUSIONS While a defunctioning stoma did not affect the leak risk, it significantly reduced its severity. Surgeons should recognize independent risk factors for leaks at the end of rectal resection and could calculate a risk score to select high-risk patients eligible for protective stoma construction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Obesity is a major technical limiting factor for laparoscopic surgery because abundant visceral fat is known to extend the operation time. However, special hardware is needed to assess it. We hypothesized that the depth from the peritoneum to the bifurcation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) defined as 'peritoneum to IMA distance (PID)' might be a simple predictive factor for extended operation time during laparoscopic colectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-four patients who were diagnosed with sigmoid or rectosigmoid colon cancer and underwent laparoscopic colectomy were included. The patients were divided into two groups based on the operation time (210 min). The vertical distance from the peritoneum to the bifurcation of the inferior mesenteric artery was defined as PID. The factors eliciting an operation time longer than 210 min were investigated. RESULTS There was significant difference in sex, BMI, cT, cN, and PID between the Early group (<210 min) and Late group (≥210 min). Less blood loss was observed in the Early group than in the Late group. Multivariate analysis showed that PID was the only independent factor that affected operation time (p<0.001). CONCLUSION PID predicts the operation time during laparoscopic colectomy for sigmoid or rectosigmoid colon cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage is a dreaded complication despite advancements in surgical technique. Photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) is a method of sealing tissue surfaces utilizing photoactive dye. We evaluated if crosslinked human amniotic membrane (xHAM) photosealed over the enteroenterostomy would augment anastomotic strength in a trauma-relevant swine hemorrhagic shock model. METHODS Yorkshire swine (40-45 kg, n = 14) underwent midline laparotomy and sharp transection of the small intestine 120 cm proximal to the ileocecal fold. Immediately following intestinal transection, a controlled arterial bleed was performed to reach hemorrhagic shock. Intestinal repair was performed after 60 minutes and autotransfusion of the withdrawn blood was performed for resuscitation. Animals were randomized to small intestinal anastomosis by one of the following methods (seven per group): suture repair (SR), or SR with PTB augmentation. Animals were euthanized at postoperative Day 28 and burst pressure (BP) strength testing was performed on all excised specimens. RESULTS Mean BP for SR, PTB, and native tissue groups were 229 ± 40, 282 ± 21, and 282 ± 47 mmHg, respectively, with the SR group statistically significantly different on analysis of variance (p = 0.02). Post-hoc Tukey all-pairs comparison demonstrated a statistically significant difference in burst pressure strength between the SR only and the PTB group (p = 0.04). All specimens in SR group ruptured at the anastomosis upon burst pressure testing, while all specimens in the PTB group ruptured at least 2.5 cm from the anastomosis. CONCLUSION Photosealing with xHAM significantly augments the strength of small intestinal anastomosis performed in a trauma porcine model.

Abstract
We performed a meta‐analysis to evaluate the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. A systematic literature search up to October 2021 was done and 31 studies included 4448 subjects with gastrointestinal surgery at the start of the study: 2242 of them were provided with rapid rehabilitation and 2206 were standard care. They were reporting relationships about the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects using the dichotomous method with a random‐ or fixed‐effect model. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54‐0.71, P < .001) and wound infection (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55‐0.98, P = .03) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. However, rapid rehabilitation had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.66‐1.22, P = .49), obstruction (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, −0.64 to 1.31, P = .65), and hospital re‐admission (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.57‐1.08, P = .13) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications and wound infection, and had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak, obstruction, and hospital re‐admission compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Compared to abdominoperineal resection (APR), sphincter preservation using low anterior resection (AR) for rectal cancer (RC) implies the risk of impaired functional outcome and postoperative complications associated with a persistent or additionally required ostomy. The aim of our study was to compare quality of life (QoL) after AR and APR with a special separate analysis of AR patients with a stoma. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> QoL of 84 APR, 356 AR, and 29 AR patients with complications and an additional stoma, termed converted therapy (COT) patients, was compared with regard to groups and effect of radiotherapy (RT). All patients received rectal resection between 1998 and 2013, and 47% of the patients had RT. QoL was assessed using extended EORTC QLQ-C30 and -CR38 questionnaires. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Questionnaires from 57 APR, 165 AR, and 25 COT patients alive were evaluated after a median time of 4 years after surgery. Global health status was equally high in AR and APR patients (score: 67), whereas COT patients turned out with a significantly lower score of 50 (<i>p</i> = 0.007). Compared to APR and COT, AR patients revealed less symptoms and higher functionality, especially for physical, role, and social functioning (<i>p</i> < 0.001). The reduction of QoL instances was significant in the COT group and in all patients treated by RT. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> QoL after RC resection may be further improved by avoiding additionally required ostomy after AR but also RT by a better individual selection of qualified patients. Qualification parameters urgently need to be defined by prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present the surgical technique and outcomes of reduced-port laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-J-pouch anal canal anastomosis (IPACA) without diverting ileostomy for total colonic and extensive aganglionosis (TCA+). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed TCA+ cases between 2014 and 2022. Preoperative ileostomy was performed when transanal bowel irrigation was ineffective. Radical surgery for TCA+ was performed at approximately 6 kg. The surgery was performed using laparoscopy through a multi-channel trocar with or without an additional 3-mm trocar and IPACA reconstruction with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) to assess anastomotic perfusion and Lugol's iodine staining to visualize the surgical anal canal. RESULTS Ten patients with TCA+ were included. Ileostomy was performed in seven cases. The median operation time and blood loss were 274.5 min and 20 ml, respectively. No significant postoperative complications were found. All patients experienced frequent liquid stools and perianal excoriation in the early postoperative period, requiring anti-flatulence or codeine. The median follow-up period was 3.5 years. Three patients required irrigation management 1 year postoperatively, and the others defecated a median of 3.5 times per day. The median Kelly's clinical score was 5 in 5 patients aged >4 years. CONCLUSION Reduced-port surgery, combined with Lugol's iodine staining and ICG, was safe, feasible, and had cosmetically and clinically acceptable mid-term outcomes.
