ABSTRACT

Rectal resection is a common practice for colorectal surgeons. The causes of this procedure are varied. The most frequent is cancer, but also inflammatory bowel disease, endometriosis, and rectovaginal or rectourethral fistulas. The loss of the normal rectal reservoir function, urinary problems, sexual dysfunction or pelvic pain are frequently reported in patients after rectal surgery and these disorders markedly affect the overall quality of life (QoL). In the last decades, rectal surgery has radically changed, with the development of surgical techniques, and it has progressed from abdominoperineal resection (APR) with a permanent colostomy to sphincter-saving procedures. Nowadays, the use of sphincter-preserving surgery has increased, but all these surgical techniques can have important sequels that modify the QoL of the patients. Historically, surgical outcomes, such as complications, survival and recurrences, have been widely studied by surgeons. In the present day, surgical outcomes have improved, rectal cancer recurrence rate has decreased and survival has increased. For these reasons, it has begun to gain importance in aspects of the QoL of patients, such as body image, fecal continence and sexuality or urinary function. Therefore, physicians should know the influence of different techniques and approaches on functional outcomes and QoL, to be able to inform patients of the treatment benefits and risk of postoperative dysfunctions. The aim of our study is to review the current literature to determine to what degree the QoL of patients who underwent a rectal resection decreases, which domains are the most affected and, in addition, to establish the influence of different surgical techniques and approaches on functional outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar, mediante la comparación de distintas variables, el comportamiento del adenocarcinoma gástrico en pacientes de 80 años o más respecto a los de menor edad. Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo sobre 212 pacientes con adenocarcinoma gástrico entre enero de 1988 y diciembre de 1998, de los que 27 tenían 80 años o más (grupo A) y 185 menos de 80 (grupo B). Se compararon el sexo, la edad, las enfermedades asociadas, el tiempo de evolución, las manifestaciones clínicas, la localización, el aspecto macroscópico, la intervención, el estadio TNM, la morbimortalidad postoperatoria, la reintervención, la estancia y la supervivencia. Resultados. El porcentaje de complicaciones en el grupo A y B fue del 65 y el 45 por ciento, respectivamente. La mortalidad hospitalaria global fue de 15 pacientes y la postoperatoria de nueve. Al comparar ambos grupos se halló que en el grupo A había mayor presencia de vómitos (p = 0,05), de masa palpable (p = 0,004), operabilidad inferior (p = 0,01), diseminación extragástrica abdominal superior (p = 0,03), peor estadio TNM (p = 0,02), mayor presencia de estadios N1-N2 (p = 0,01), mayor número de complicaciones sistémicas (p = 0,05) y menor supervivencia (p = 0,008). El resto de variables no presentaron diferencias significativas. Conclusiones. Los pacientes octogenarios presentaron tasas superiores de enfermedad localmente avanzada que indujeron peor estadio TNM y menor supervivencia (AU)
