ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between bursting pressure and breaking strength on the 7th postoperative day following left colonic anastomosis in rats. METHODS: Seventy rats were randomly divided into seven groups of ten animals each. All of the animals underwent segmental resection of the left colon and end-to-end anastomosis. The animals in groups I to VI underwent surgical laparoscopies with pneumoperitoneums using carbon dioxide or helium at pressures of 5, 12 or 20 mmHg. In Group VII, open laparotomy was performed. The animals were reoperated on postoperative day 7 to measure the bursting pressure and the breaking strength of the anastomosis. RESULTS: The anastomosis bursting pressure in 70 animals was 193.10±55.56 mmHg. There was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.786). The breaking strength of the anastomosis was 0.26±0.12 N. There was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.356). Pearson's correlation test showed a low correlation (r=0.231) lacking statistical significance (p=0.054). CONCLUSION: There was no correlation between the bursting pressure and breaking strength of left colonic anastomoses in rats on the 7th postoperative day.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic approach should be offered for most patients requiring colectomy, as it is a safe procedure, associated with shorter hospitalization, better cosmetic results, and does not affect negatively the oncological outcomes of patients with colon cancer. However, there is no consistent data on the safety of laparoscopic surgery training during residency. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess whether or not the resident participation in laparoscopic colectomy affected the postoperative outcomes. METHODS: The database of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) was searched for patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomies between 2005 and 2007. We excluded patients with no data regarding whether or not there was a resident participation in the operation. The study population was divided into 2 groups (resident and nonresident), according to residents participation in the surgical procedure. Perioperative variables and postoperative complications were compared between groups. A multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the association between postoperative complications and resident participation in the operation. RESULTS: The search yielded 5,912 patients with a median age of 63 years. Of these, 3,112 (53%) were female and 3.887 (66%) had a resident involved in their operation. The resident group had a significantly longer mean operative time (163 ± 64 min vs 138 ± 58 min, p < 0.0001). Other variables did not differ significantly between groups. Moreover, multivariate analysis showed no association between resident participation and the occurrence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic training during residency may be safely performed without threatening the patient's integrity. (AU)


OBJETIVO: Cirurgia videolaparoscópica é a via preferencial para colectomias eletivas por ser um procedimento seguro, associado à menor tempo de internação, melhores resultados estéticos e por não influenciar negativamente os resultados oncológicos dos pacientes com câncer de cólon. Entretanto, ainda não existem dados consistentes sobre a segurança do treinamento em cirurgia laparoscópica durante a residência. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se a participação do residente em colectomias laparoscópicas afetou os resultados pós-operatórios. MÉTODOS: A base de dados do American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) foi pesquisada para colectomias laparoscópicas entre os anos de 2005 e 2007. A população do estudo foi dividida em dois grupos de acordo com a participação ou não do residente na cirurgia: residente vs. não residente. Os grupos foram comparados em relação às variáveis perioperatórias e complicações pós-operatórias. Uma análise multivariada foi realizada para investigar possível associação entre complicações pós-operatórias e o envolvimento de residentes na operação. A pesquisa retornou 5.912 pacientes, com mediana de idade de 63 anos. Em 3.887 casos (66%) o residente estava envolvido na operação. O grupo Residente apresentou tempo operatório mediano significantemente maior que o grupo Não Residente (163 ± 64 min vs. 138 ± 58 min, p < 0.0001). Todas as outras variáveis estudadas não diferiram significativamente entre os grupos. Além disso, a análise multivariada não demonstrou nenhuma associação entre o envolvimento do residente na operação e a ocorrência de complicações pós-operatórias. CONCLUSÃO: O treinamento laparoscópico durante a residência pode ser realizado com segurança sem colocar em risco a integridade do paciente operado. (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Colorectal surgeons often struggle to explain to administrators/payers reasons for prolonged length of stay (LOS). This study aim was to identify factors associated with increased LOS after colorectal surgery. DESIGN: The study population included patients from the 2007 American-College-of-Surgeons-National-Surgical-Quality-Improvement-Program (ACS-NSQIP) database undergoing ileocolic resection, segmental colectomy, or anterior resection. The study population was divided into normal (below 75th percentile) and prolonged LOS (above the 75th percentile). A multivariate analysis was performed using prolonged LOS as dependent variable and ACS-NSQIP variables as predictive variables. P-value < 0.01 was considered significant. RESULTS: 12,269 patients with a median LOS of 6 (inter-quartile range 4-9) days were included. There were 2,617 (21.3%) patients with prolonged LOS (median 15 days, inter-quartile range 13-22). 1,308 (50%) were female, and the median age was 69 (inter-quartile range 57-79) years. Risk factors for prolonged LOS were male gender, congestive heart failure, weight loss, Crohn's disease, preoperative albumin < 3.5 g/dL and hematocrit < 47%, baseline sepsis, ASA class ≥ 3, open surgery, surgical time ≥ 190 min min, postoperative pneumonia, failure to wean from mechanical ventilation, deep venous thrombosis, urinary-tract infection, systemic sepsis, surgical site infection and reoperation within 30-days from the primary surgery. CONCLUSION: Multiple factors are associated with increased LOS after colorectal surgery. Our results are useful for surgeons to explain prolonged LOS to administrators/payers who are critical of this metric. (AU)


OBJETIVO: Os cirurgiões proctologistas muitas vezes enfrentam dificuldades para explicar aos administradores/contribuintes as razões para o prolongamento do tempo de internação hospitalar (TIH). O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores associados ao aumento do TIH após cirurgia colorretal. MÉTODO: A população do estudo incluiu pacientes que constam do banco de dados do American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) no ano de 2007 e que foram submetidos à ressecção ileocólica, colectomia segmentar ou ressecção anterior. A população do estudo foi dividida em normal (abaixo do percentil 75) e TIH prolongado (acima do percentil 75). A análise multivariada foi realizada usando o TIH prolongado como variável dependente e as variáveis do ACS-NSQIP como preditivas. Um valor de p < 0,01 foi considerado significativo. RESULTADOS: No total, 12.269 pacientes com um TIH mediano de 6 dias (intervalo interquartil, 4-9) foram incluídos. Havia 2.617 pacientes (21,3%) com TIH prolongado (mediana, 15 dias; intervalo interquartil, 13-22). A idade média dos pacientes era de 69 anos (intervalo interquartil, 57-79) e 1.308 (50%) eram do sexo feminino. Os fatores de risco para TIH prolongado foram sexo masculino, insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, perda de peso, doença de Crohn, albumina < 3,5 g/dL e hematócrito < 47% no pré-operatório, sepse basal, classe ASA ≥ 3, cirurgia aberta, tempo cirúrgico ≥ 190 minutos, pneumonia no pós-operatório, falha no desmame da ventilação mecânica, trombose venosa profunda, infecção do trato urinário, sepse sistêmica, infecção do sítio cirúrgico e reoperação dentro de 30 dias da cirurgia primária. CONCLUSÃO: Vários fatores estão associados ao aumento do TIH após a cirurgia colorretal. Nossos resultados são úteis para que os cirurgiões possam explicar os TIH prolongados aos administradores/contribuintes que são críticos dessa métrica. (AU)
