Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated trends in global surgical site infection rates in colorectal surgery in the past decade. OBJECTIVE This study seeks to describe changes in rates of different surgical site infections from 2013 to 2020, identify risk factors for surgical site infection occurrence, and evaluate the association of minimally invasive surgery and infection rates in colorectal resections. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database 2013-2020 identifying patients undergoing open or laparoscopic colorectal resections by procedure codes was performed. Patient demographic information, comorbidities, procedures, and complications data were obtained. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. SETTING This was a retrospective study. PATIENTS A total of 279,730 patients received colorectal resections from 2013 to 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measure was the rate of surgical site infection, divided into superficial, deep incisional, and organ space infections. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in rates of superficial infections ( p < 0.01) and deep incisional infections ( p < 0.01) from 5.9% in 2013 to 3.3% in 2020 and from 1.4% in 2013 to 0.6% in 2020, respectively, but a rise in organ space infections ( p < 0.01) from 5.2% in 2013 to 7.1% in 2020. Minimally invasive techniques were associated with decreased odds of all surgical site infections compared to open techniques ( p < 0.01) in multivariate analysis, and adoption of minimally invasive techniques increased from 59% in 2013 to 66% in 2020. LIMITATIONS The study is limited by its retrospective nature and variables available for analysis. CONCLUSIONS Superficial and deep incisional infection rates have significantly decreased, likely secondary to improved adoption of minimally invasive techniques and infection prevention bundles. Organ space infection rates continue to increase. Additional research is warranted to clarify current recommendations for mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotic use as well as to study novel interventions to decrease postoperative infection occurrence.

TENDENCIAS MODERNAS EN LAS TASAS DE INFECCIN DEL SITIO QUIRRGICO PARA CIRUGA COLORRECTAL UN ESTUDIO DEL PROYECTO NACIONAL DE MEJORA DE LA CALIDAD QUIRRGICA ANTECEDENTES:Hay pocos estudios que investiguen las tendencias en las tasas globales de infección del sitio quirúrgico en cirugía colorrectal en la última década.OBJETIVO:Este estudio busca describir cambios en las tasas de diferentes infecciones del sitio quirúrgico entre 2013 y 2020, identificar factores de riesgo para la aparición de ISQ y evaluar la asociación de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva y las tasas de infección en resecciones colorrectales.DISEÑO:Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de la base de datos del Programa Nacional de Mejora de la Calidad Quirúrgica 2013-2020 que identifica a los pacientes sometidos a resecciones colorrectales abiertas o laparoscópicas mediante códigos de procedimiento. Se obtuvo información demográfica de los pacientes, comorbilidades, procedimientos y datos de complicaciones. Se realizó regresión logística univariable y multivariable.AJUSTE:Este fue un estudio retrospectivo.PACIENTES:Un total de 279,730 pacientes recibieron resección colorrectal entre 2013 y 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:La medida de resultado primaria fue la tasa de infección del sitio quirúrgico, dividida en infecciones superficiales, incisionales profundas y del espacio de órganos.RESULTADOS:Hubo una disminución significativa en las tasas de infecciones superficiales (p < 0,01) e infecciones incisionales profundas ( p < 0,01) del 5,9% en 2013 al 3,3% en 2020 y del 1,4% en 2013 al 0,6% en 2020, respectivamente. pero un aumento en las infecciones del espacio de los órganos ( p < 0,01) del 5,2 % en 2013 al 7,1 % en 2020. El uso de técnicas mínimamente invasivas se asoció con una disminución de las probabilidades de todas las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico en comparación con las técnicas abiertas ( p < 0,01) en el análisis multivariado y la adopción de técnicas mínimamente invasivas aumentó del 59% en 2013 al 66% en 2020.LIMITACIONES:El estudio está limitado por la naturaleza retrospectiva y las variables disponibles para el análisis.CONCLUSIONES:Las tasas de infección superficial y profunda han disminuido significativamente, probablemente debido a una mejor adopción de técnicas mínimamente invasivas y esquemas de prevención de infecciones. Las tasas de infección del espacio de los órganos continúan aumentando. Se justifica realizar investigaciones adicionales para aclarar las recomendaciones actuales para la preparación intestinal mecánica y el uso de antibióticos orales, así como para estudiar intervenciones novedosas para disminuir la aparición de infecciones posoperatorias.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly prevalent and is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The incidence rate of CRC remains alarmingly high despite screening measures. The main curative treatment for CRC is a surgical resection of the diseased bowel segment. Postoperative complications usually involve a weakened gut barrier and a dissemination of bacterial proinflammatory lipopolysaccharides. Herein we discuss how gut microbiota and microbial metabolites regulate basal inflammation levels in the gut and the healing process of the bowel after surgery. We further elaborate on the restoration of the gut barrier function in patients with CRC and how this potentially impacts the dissemination and implantation of CRC cells in extracolonic tissues, contributing therefore to worse survival after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral antibiotics (OA) combined with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) significantly decrease the rate of surgical site infections (SSIs). However, the prophylactic effects in region-specific colorectal surgery have not been assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-centre, single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted from 2019 to 2022. Patients were eligible if they were diagnosed with nonmetastatic colorectal malignancy, and laparoscopic colorectal surgery was indicated. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to the experimental (OA+MBP preparation) or control group (MBP preparation). The randomization was further stratified by resected region. The primary outcome was the incidence of SSIs. Patients were followed up for 1 month postoperatively, and all complications were recorded. RESULT Between 2019 and 2022, 157 and 152 patients were assigned to the experimental and control groups, respectively, after 51 patients were excluded. The incidence of SSIs in the control group (27/152) was significantly higher than that in the experimental group (13/157; P =0.013), as was the incidence of superficial SSIs (5/157 vs. 14/152, P =0.027) and deep SSIs (7/157 vs. 16/152, P =0.042). After redistribution according to the resected region, the incidence of SSIs was significantly higher in the control group with left-sided colorectal resection (descending, sigmoid colon, and rectum) (9/115 vs. 20/111, P =0.022) but was similar between the groups with right-sided colon resection (ascending colon) (3/37 vs. 7/36, P =0.286). No differences were noted between the groups in terms of other perioperative complications. CONCLUSION OA+MBP before colorectal surgery significantly reduced the incidence of SSIs. Such a prophylactic effect was particularly significant for left-sided resection. This preparation mode should be routinely adopted before elective left-region colorectal surgeries.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical site infection (SSI) impacts 5-20% of patients after elective colorectal surgery. There are varying reports on the effectiveness of oral antibiotics (OAB) with preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) in preventing SSI. We aim to determine the role of OAB and MBP in preventing SSI after elective colorectal surgery. We also determine if a specific OAB regimen will be more effective than others. METHODS This study investigated the impact of OAB and MBP in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ACP Journal Club, and Embase databases were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published by June 2022. All RCTs comparing various preoperative bowel preparation regimens, including pairwise or multi-intervention comparisons, were included. To establish the role of OAB and MBP in preventing SSI, we conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis on all RCTs. We further performed subgroup analysis to determine the most effective OAB regimen. RESULTS Among included 46 studies with a total of 12690 patients, patients in the MBP + OAB group were less likely to have SSI than those having MBP-only (OR 0.55, 95% CrI 0.39-0.76), and without MBP and OAB (OR 0.52, 95% CrI 0.32-0.84). OAB regimen C (kanamycin + metronidazole) and A (neomycin + metronidazole) demonstrated a significantly reduced incidence of SSI, compared to regimen B (neomycin + erythromycin) with OR 0.24 (95% CrI 0.07-0.79) and 0.26 (95% CrI 0.07-0.99) respectively. CONCLUSIONS OAB with MBP reduces the risk of SSI after elective colorectal surgery. Providing adequate aerobic and anaerobic coverage with OAB may confer better protection against SSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite significant advances in infection control guidelines and practices, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a substantial cause of morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and mortality among patients having both elective and emergent surgeries. D-PLEX100 is a novel, antibiotic-eluting polymer-lipid matrix that supplies a high, local concentration of doxycycline for the prevention of superficial and deep SSIs. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of D-PLEX in addition to standard of care (SOC) in preventing superficial and deep surgical site infections for patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. METHODS From October 10, 2018 to October 6, 2019, as part of a Phase 2 clinical trial, we randomly assigned 202 patients who had scheduled elective colorectal surgery to receive either standard of care SSI prophylaxis or D-PLEX100 in addition to standard of care. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of D-PLEX100 in superficial and deep SSI reduction, as measured by the incidence of SSIs within 30 days, as adjudicated by both an individual assessor and a three-person endpoint adjudication committee, all of whom were blinded to study-group assignments. Safety was assessed by the stratification and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-nine patients were evaluated in the per protocol population, 88 in the intervention arm [51 males, 37 females, median age (64.0 range: 19-92) years] and 91 in the control arm [57 males, 34 females, median age 64.5 (range: 21-88) years]. The SSI rate within 30 day post-index surgery revealed a 64% relative risk reduction in SSI rate in the D-PLEX100 plus standard of care (SOC) group [n = 7/88 (8%)] vs SOC alone [n = 20/91 (22%)]; p = 0.0115. There was no significant difference in treatment-emergent adverse events. CONCLUSIONS D-PLEX100 application leads to a statistically significant reduction in superficial and deep surgical site infections in this colorectal clinical model without any associated increase in adverse events.

Abstract
Purpose Anastomotic leakage (AL) and surgical site infection (SSI) account for most postoperative complications in colorectal surgery. The aim of this retrospective trial was to investigate whether perioperative selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) reduces these complications and to provide a cost-effectiveness model for elective colorectal surgery. Methods All patients operated between November 2016 and March 2020 were included in our analysis. Patients in the primary cohort (PC) received SDD and those in the historical control cohort (CC) did not receive SDD. In the case of rectal/sigmoid resection, SDD was also applied via a transanally placed Foley catheter (TAFC) for 48 h postoperatively. A propensity score-matched analysis was performed to identify risk factors for AL and SSI. Costs were calculated based on German diagnosis-related group (DRG) fees per case. Results A total of 308 patients (154 per cohort) with a median age of 62.6 years (IQR 52.5–70.8) were analyzed. AL was observed in ten patients (6.5%) in the PC and 23 patients (14.9%) in the CC (OR 0.380, 95% CI 0.174–0.833; P = 0.016). SSI occurred in 14 patients (9.1%) in the PC and 30 patients in the CC (19.5%), representing a significant reduction in our SSI rate (P = 0.009). The cost-effectiveness analysis showed that SDD is highly effective in saving costs with a number needed to treat of 12 for AL and 10 for SSI. Conclusion SDD significantly reduces the incidence of AL and SSI and saves costs for the general healthcare system.

Abstract
Anastomotic leakage is a potentially severe complication occurring after colorectal surgery and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, permanent stoma formation, and cancer recurrence. Multiple risk factors for anastomotic leak have been identified, and these can allow for better prevention and an earlier diagnosis of this significant complication. There are nonmodifiable factors such as male gender, comorbidities and distance of tumor from anal verge, and modifiable risk factors, including smoking and alcohol consumption, obesity, preoperative radiotherapy and preoperative use of steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Perioperative blood transfusion was shown to be an important risk factor for anastomotic failure. Recent studies on the laparoscopic approach in colorectal surgery found no statistical difference in anastomotic leakage rate compared with open surgery. A diverting stoma at the time of primary surgery does not appear to reduce the leak rate but may reduce its clinical consequences and the need for additional surgery if anastomotic leakage does occur. It is still debatable if preoperative bowel preparation should be used, especially for left colon and rectal resections, but studies have shown similar incidence of postoperative leak rate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) prior to rectal surgery is widely used. Based on retrospective data many guidelines recommend mechanical and oral antibiotic bowel preparation (MOABP) to reduce postoperative complications and specifically surgical site infections (SSIs). The primary aim of this study is to examine whether MOABP reduces complications of rectal surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The MOBILE2 (Mechanical Bowel Preparation and Oral Antibiotics vs Mechanical Bowel Preparation Only Prior Rectal Surgery) trial is a multicentre, double-blinded, parallel group, superiority, randomised controlled trial comparing MOABP to MBP among patients scheduled for rectal surgery with colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. The patients randomised to the MOABP group receive 1 g neomycin and 1 g metronidazole two times on a day prior to surgery and patients randomised to the MBP group receive identical placebo. Based on power calculations, 604 patients will be enrolled in the study. The primary outcome is Comprehensive Complication Index within 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes are SSIs within 30 days after surgery, the number and classification of anastomosis dehiscences, the length of hospital stay, mortality within 90 days after surgery and the number of patients who received adjuvant treatment if needed. Tertiary outcomes are overall survival, disease-specific survival, recurrence-free survival and difference in quality-of-life before and 1 year after surgery. In addition, the microbiota differences in colon mucosa are analysed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Ethics Committee of Helsinki University Hospital approved the study. The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed academic journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04281667.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiota consists of numerous microbial species that collectively interact with the host, playing a crucial role in health and disease. Colorectal cancer is well-known to be related to dysbiotic alterations in intestinal microbiota. It is evident that the microbiota is significantly affected by colorectal surgery in combination with the various perioperative interventions, mainly mechanical bowel preparation and antibiotic prophylaxis. The altered postoperative composition of intestinal microbiota could lead to an enhanced virulence, proliferation of pathogens, and diminishment of beneficial microorganisms resulting in severe complications including anastomotic leakage and surgical site infections. Moreover, the intestinal microbiota could be utilized as a possible biomarker in predicting long-term outcomes after surgical CRC treatment. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these interactions will further support the establishment of genomic mapping of intestinal microbiota in the management of patients undergoing CRC surgery.

Abstract
Despite a growing body of evidence from randomized controlled studies, register data and meta-analyses, there is an ongoing controversy about decontamination of the digestive tract before elective colorectal surgery. Currently, mechanical bowel preparation alone can no longer be recommended as there is a lack of evidence for an advantage in terms of risk reduction for infectious complications, anastomotic leakage, morbidity and mortality. In contrast, the administration of oral antibiotics in addition to the obligatory intravenous single shot antibiotic prophylaxis has shown an additive reduction of the risk of up to 50% for the occurrence of postoperative infectious complications; however, due to a lack of data it is unclear if mechanical bowel preparation could even improve the positive effects of combined intravenous and oral antibiotics. Therefore, further studies are necessary. At the current time the occurrence of anastomotic leakage cannot be prevented, independent of whether preoperative bowel decontamination is performed.

Abstract
Whether to administer purgative cleansing and oral antibiotics before colon surgery as a method to prevent postoperative infections, once standard of care, is now being considered unnecessary with today’s advancements of care. A new study questions the efficacy of this bowel preparation approach with a prospective randomized trial.
