RESUMO

Introduction: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most feared postoperative complications in colon cancer surgery due to an association with increased morbidity and mortality, although its impact on long-term survival is not consensual. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of AL on long-term survival of patients undergoing curative colon cancer resection. Methods: A single-centre retrospective cohort study was designed. Clinical records of all consecutive patients undergoing surgery at our institution between 01/01/2010 and 12/31/2019 were reviewed. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan–Meier method to estimate overall and conditional survival and Cox regression to search for risk factors impacting survival. Results: A total of 2351 patients submitted to colorectal surgery were screened for eligibility, of which 686 with colon cancer were included. AL occurred in 57 patients (8,3%) and was associated with higher postoperative morbidity and mortality, length of stay and early readmissions (P < 0,05). Overall survival was inferior in the leakage group (Hazard Ratio 2,08 [1,02–4,24]). Conditional overall survival at 30, 90 days and 6 months was also inferior in the leakage group (P < 0,05), but not at 1 year. Risk factors independently associated with reduced overall survival included AL occurrence, higher ASA classification and delayed/missed adjuvant chemotherapy. AL did not impact local and distant recurrence (P > 0,05). Conclusion: AL has a negative impact on survival. Its effect is more pronounced on short-term mortality. AL does not appear to be associated with disease progression.(AU)


Objetivo: La fuga anastomótica (FA) es una complicación postoperatoria temida en la cirugía del cáncer de colon por asociación con mayor morbimortalidad, aunque su impacto en la supervivencia a largo plazo no es consensuado. Nuestro objetivo fue investigar el efecto de la FA en la supervivencia a largo plazo de pacientes sometidos a resección curativa del cáncer de colon. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo unicéntrico de pacientes consecutivos intervenidos quirúrgicamente entre 01/01/2010 y el 31/12/2019. El análisis de supervivencia se realizó por el método de Kaplan-Meier para evaluar la supervivencia global (SG) y condicional y una regresión de Cox para evaluar los factores de riesgo con efecto en la supervivencia. Resultados: De 2351 pacientes sometidos a cirugía colorrectal, se incluyeron 686 con cáncer de colon. FA afectó 57 pacientes (8,3%) y se asoció con mayor morbimortalidad postoperatoria, duración de estancia hospitalaria y reingresos (P < 0,05). La SG fue inferior en el grupo de fuga (Hazard Ratio 2,08 [1,02–4,24]). La SG condicional a los 30, 90 días y 6 meses fue inferior en el grupo de fugas (P < 0,05), pero no a 1 año. Los factores de riesgo que se asociaron con SG reducida incluyeron la FA, clasificación ASA más alta y quimioterapia adyuvante retrasada/perdida. FA no afectó la recurrencia local y distante (P > 0.05). Conclusiones: FA tiene un impacto negativo en la supervivencia, con efecto más pronunciado sobre la mortalidad a corto plazo, pero no es asociado con la progresión de la enfermedad oncológica.(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To review the different types of urinary diversion surgeries (UDS) in order to recognize the expected findings in a postoperative study, using different imaging techniques. To recognize the main postoperative complications, both early and late. CONCLUSION: UDS are surgical procedures whose purpose is to redirect urine flow after cystectomy, generally in an oncologic context. The imaging evaluation of urological surgeries is often a radiological challenge, with CT being the most commonly used image modality. Therefore, it is essential to know the main surgical techniques, the expected postoperative findings and the optimization of imaging techniques for early diagnosis and correct evaluation of postoperative complications.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the early diagnosis of anastomotic leak (AL) in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. METHOD: Diagnostic test in a tertiary care hospital. Patients who did not have preoperative measurements of PCT and CRP were excluded. Those with postoperative infection not related to AL were eliminated. The diagnostic efficacy measures were sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values, positive (LR+) and negative (LR-) likelihood ratios, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were analyzed; six had AL (15.4%). PCT and CRP increased on the second postoperative day, only in patients with AL. The cut-off points at the second postoperative day were 1.55 ng/mL for PCT and 11.25 mg/L for CRP. The most efficacious test was PCR at second postoperative day (AUROC: 1.00; Sn: 100%; Sp: 96.7%; PPV: 85.7%; NPV: 100%; LR+: 33.0). CONCLUSIONS: CRP at second postoperative day was the most effective test in the early diagnosis of AL in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, with a cut-off point lower than that reported in the international literature.


OBJETIVO: Determinar la eficacia de la procalcitonina (PCT) y la proteína C reactiva (PCR) séricas en el diagnóstico de fuga anastomótica (FA) en los pacientes sometidos a cirugía colorrectal. MÉTODO: Prueba diagnóstica en un hospital de tercer nivel. Se excluyeron los pacientes que no tuvieron mediciones preoperatorias de PCT y PCR. Se eliminaron los que cursaron con infección posoperatoria no relacionada con FA. Las medidas de eficacia diagnóstica fueron sensibilidad (S), especificidad (E), valores predictivos positivo (VPP) y negativo (VPN), razones de verosimilitud positiva (RV+) y negativa (RV−), y área bajo la curva característica operativa del receptor (AUROC). RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 39 pacientes, de los cuales 6 (15.4%) tuvieron FA. La PCT y la PCR aumentaron al segundo día posoperatorio solo en los pacientes con FA. Los puntos de corte al día 2 fueron 1.55 ng/ml para PCT y 11.25 mg/l para PCR. La prueba más eficaz fue la PCR al día 2 (AUROC: 1.00; S: 100%; E: 96.7%; VPP: 85.7%; VPN: 100%; RV+: 33.0). CONCLUSIONES: La PCR en el segundo día posoperatorio fue la prueba más eficaz en el diagnóstico temprano de FA en los pacientes sometidos a cirugía colorrectal, con un punto de corte inferior a lo reportado en la literatura internacional.

RESUMO

Introducción. Las fístulas derivadas de enfermedades neoplásicas del tracto digestivo, así como las fugas posteriores a procedimientos quirúrgicos, no son infrecuentes y ocasionan una morbilidad importante cuando se manejan de forma quirúrgica. También durante los procedimientos endoscópicos se pueden presentar perforaciones y, si se logra un manejo no operatorio, se alcanza una adecuada recuperación. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características clínicas y los resultados de los pacientes con perforaciones, fístulas y fugas del tracto gastrointestinal, manejadas endoscópicamente con clip sobre el endoscopio. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, de pacientes con perforación, fuga o fístula postoperatoria, llevados a endoscopía digestiva con colocación de clip sobre el endoscopio, en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología en Bogotá, D.C., Colombia, entre enero de 2016 y abril de 2020. Resultados. Se incluyeron 21 pacientes, 52,4 % de ellos mujeres. La mediana de edad fue de 66 años y del diámetro del defecto fue de 9 mm. En el 95 % se logró éxito técnico. Hubo éxito clínico temprano en el 85,7 % de los casos. El 76,1 % de los pacientes permanecieron sin síntomas a los 3 meses de seguimiento. Conclusiones. El manejo de perforaciones, fugas y fístulas con clip sobre el endoscopio parece ser factible y seguro. En la mayoría de estos pacientes se logró la liberación del clip y la identificación endoscópica del cierre inmediatamente después del procedimiento; sin embargo, en el caso de las fístulas, no se alcanzó el éxito clínico tardío en todos los casos


Introduction. Fistula of the digestive tract derived from neoplastic diseases as well as leaks following surgical procedures are not uncommon and usually cause significant morbidity when are managed surgically. Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures may present perforations during their performance; if they are managed non-operatively, an adequate recovery is obtained. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with perforations, fistulas and leaks of the gastrointestinal tract managed endoscopically with over the scope clip (OTSC). Methods. Descriptive, retrospective study of patients brought to digestive endoscopy with OTSC placement with diagnosis of postoperative perforation, leak or fistula at the National Cancer Institute in Bogota, Colombia, between January 2016 and April 2020. Results. Twenty-one patients were taken for OTSC application for the management of perforations, leaks and fistulas of the gastrointestinal tract, 52.4% of them were women. The median age was 66 years. The median diameter of the defect was 9 mm. Technical success was achieved in 95%. Early clinical success was described in 85.7% of the cases; 76.1% of patients remained symptom-free at 3-month follow-up. Conclusions. Management of perforations, leaks and fistulas with OTSC appears to be feasible and safe. In most of these patients, clip release and endoscopic identification of closure was achieved immediately after management; however, in the case of fistulas, late clinical success was not achieved in all cases

RESUMO

Introducción. Las fugas anastomóticas son una complicación común y crítica en cirugía gastrointestinal, por lo que su identificación y tratamiento temprano son necesarios para evitar resultados adversos. El uso convencional con un valor límite de la proteína C reactiva ha demostrado una utilidad limitada. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la utilidad de la medición seriada de la proteína C reactiva en la detección de fugas anastomóticas. Métodos. Revisión prospectiva de base de datos retrospectiva de pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal mayor con al menos una anastomosis intestinal. Se midió la proteína C reactiva al tercer y quinto día posoperatorio. Las complicaciones se categorizaron según la clasificación de Clavien-Dindo. La precisión diagnóstica fue evaluada por el área bajo la curva. Resultados. Se incluyeron 157 pacientes, el 52 % mujeres. La edad promedio fue de 63,7 años. El mayor número de cirugías correspondió a gastrectomía (36,3 %), resección anterior de recto (15,3 %) y hemicolectomía derecha (13,4 %). El 25,5 % tuvieron alguna complicación postoperatoria y el 32,5 % (n=13) presentaron fuga en la anastomosis. El aumento de la proteína C reactiva tuvo un área bajo la curva de 0,918 con un punto de corte de aumento en 1,3 mg/L, sensibilidad de 92,3 % (IC95% 78 ­ 100) y una especificidad de 92,4 % (IC95% 88 ­ 96). Conclusiones. El aumento de 1,3 mg/L en la proteína C reactiva entre el día de la cirugía y el quinto día fue un predictor preciso de fugas anastomóticas en pacientes con cirugía abdominal mayor


Introduction. Anastomotic leaks are a common and critical complication in gastrointestinal surgery. Their identification and early treatment are necessary to avoid adverse results, and conventional use with a cutoff value of C-reactive protein has shown limited utility. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of serial measurement of C-reactive protein in the detection of anastomotic leaks. Methods. Prospective review of a retrospective database of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery with at least one intestinal anastomosis. C-reactive protein was measured on the third and fifth postoperative days. Complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by the area under the curve.Results. 157 patients were included, 52% were females. The average age was 63.7 years. The largest number of surgeries corresponded to gastrectomies (36.3%), anterior resection of the rectum (15.3%) and right hemicolectomies (13.4%). 25.5% had some postoperative complication and 32.5% (n=13) had anastomosis leaks. The increase in C-reactive protein had an area under the curve of 0.918 with an increase cut-off point of 1.3 mg/L, sensitivity of 92.3% (95% CI 78-100) and specificity of 92.4%. (95% CI 88-96). Conclusions. The 1.3 mg/L increase in C-reactive protein between the day of surgery and the fifth day was an accurate predictor of anastomotic leaks in patients with major abdominal surgery

RESUMO

Introducción. La fuga anastomótica es la complicación más grave del tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de colon por su alta morbimortalidad. El diagnóstico evidente, manifestado por la salida de contenido intestinal por drenajes o la herida quirúrgica, ocurre tardíamente (entre el 6º y 8º día). El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la variación de los valores de la proteína C reactiva postoperatoria para hacer un diagnóstico precoz. Métodos. Estudio observacional, analítico, retrospectivo, de una cohorte de pacientes con neoplasia, en quienes se realizó cirugía oncológica con anastomosis intestinal, entre enero de 2019 y diciembre de 2021. Se midieron los valores en sangre de proteína C reactiva postoperatoria (1°, 3° y 5° días). Resultados. Se compararon 225 casos operados que no presentaron fuga con 45 casos con fuga. En los casos sin fuga, el valor de proteína C reactiva al 3º día fue de 148 mg/l y al 5º día de 71 mg/l, mientras en los casos con fuga, los valores fueron de 228,24 mg/l y 228,04 mg/l, respectivamente (p<0,05). Para un valor de 197 mg/l al 3º día la sensibilidad fue de 77 % y para un valor de 120 mg/l al 5º día la sensibilidad fue de 84 %. Conclusión. El mejor resultado de proteína C reactiva postoperatoria para detectar precozmente la fuga anastomótica se observó al 5º día. El valor de 127 mg/l tuvo la mejor sensibilidad, especificidad y valor predictivo negativo, lo cual permitiría el diagnóstico temprano y manejo oportuno de esta complicación


Introduction. Anastomotic leak is the most serious complication of surgical treatment of colon cancer due to its high morbidity and mortality. The obvious diagnosis manifested by the exit of intestinal content through drains or the operative wound, occurs late (between the 6th and 8th day). The objective of this work was to study the postoperative C-reactive protein values to make an early diagnosis. Methods. Observational, analytical, retrospective study of a cohort of patients undergoing colorectal surgery for neoplasia, between January 2019 and December 2021, who underwent oncological surgery with intestinal anastomosis and measured CRP blood values on 1st, 3rd and 5th post-operative days. Results. Two-hundred-twenty-five operated cases that did not present leaks were compared with 45 cases with leaks, with CRP values on the 3rd and 5th day of 148mg/l and 71mg/l in cases without leakage and CRP values of 228.24mg/l and 228.04 mg/l in cases with leakage on the 3rd and 5th day, respectively (p<0.05), CRP value of 197mg/l on the 3rd day has a sensitivity of 77%; CRP value of 120mg/l on the 5th day, has a sensitivity of 84%. Conclusions. The best result for CPR to early diagnosis of anastomotic leak was observed on the 5th day, having the value of 127 mg/l the best sensitivity, specificity and NPV, which would allow early diagnosis and timely management

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and white cell count (WC) in the prediction of anastomotic leakage (AL) in major abdominal surgery. METHODS: Multicenter, prospective, and observational study of adult patients who underwent major abdominal surgery. CRP and hemogram were measured after post-operative day (POD) 3 and POD 5. Complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS: A total of 97 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 63 ± 12 years and 47 (48%) were male. Colorectal (56%) and gastric cancer (36%) were the most frequent diagnoses. About 23% had post-operative complications, of which 5% had AL. The most significant predictive factor was the increase in CRP ≥ 2.84 mg/L among POD 3 and 5 (AUC, 0.99, sensitivity, 95.6%, specificity, 100%, positive likelihood ratio, 23.0). The accuracy of the other biomarkers was lower, CRP on POD 3 (AUC, 0.55), on POD 5 (AUC, 0.93), WC on POD 3 (AUC, 0.33), and POD 5 (AUC, 0.35). CONCLUSION: The increase of CRP among POD 3 and 5 was an early predictor of AL in adult patients with major abdominal surgery.


OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el papel de la proteína C-reactiva (PCR) y el recuento de glóbulos blancos (RGB) en la predicción de la Fuga Anastomotica (FA) en la cirugía abdominal mayor. MÉTODO: Estudio multicéntrico, prospectivo y observacional de pacientes adultos sometidos a cirugía abdominal mayor. Se midieron la PCR y el hemograma después del día postoperatorio (DPO) 3 y DPO 5. Las complicaciones se categorizaron según la clasificación de Clavien-Dindo y la precisión diagnóstica se evaluó mediante el área bajo la curva (AUC). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron un total de 97 pacientes. La edad media era de 63 ± 12 años y 47 (48%) eran hombres. El factor predictivo más significativo fue el aumento de la PCR ≥ 2,84 mg/L entre los DPO 3 y 5 (AUC, 0,99, sensibilidad, 95,6%, especificidad, 100%, ratio de probabilidad positiva, 23,0). La precisión de los demás biomarcadores fue menor, la PCR en el DPO 3 (AUC, 0,55), en el DPO5 (AUC, 0,93), el RGB en el DPO 3 (AUC, 0,33) y en el DPO 5 (AUC, 0,35). CONCLUSIONES: El aumento de la PCR entre los DPO 3 y 5 fue un predictor temprano de FA en pacientes adultos con cirugía abdominal mayor.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: Post-surgical esophagojejunal anastomosis fistulas can be life-threatening. Currently, there are several treatment alternatives. In recent years, endoscopic negative pressure therapy has emerged as an innovative treatment for these fistulas, offering numerous benefits. Case presentation: A 72-year-old man diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma of the body and fundus underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis with curative intent in a quaternary care hospital in Popayán, Colombia. However, in the postoperative period, he presented systemic inflammatory response syndrome and acute abdomen due to an esophagojejunal fistula. Initial management included a laparotomy, two peritoneal washings, and an abdominal drainage. Then the patient developed frozen abdomen, so it was not possible to access the esophagojejunal anastomosis. Fistula closure was attempted by inserting a self-expandable metallic stent, yet the procedure was not successful. Salvage therapy was started using an endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) system. After 5 replacements of the VAC system, complete drainage of the intra-abdominal collection, complete closure of the peritoneal cavity, and closure of the esophagojejunal leak, with a small residual diverticular formation, were achieved. The patient's condition improved progressively, resuming oral intake 20 days after initiation of VAC therapy. In addition, no new abdominal complications were reported during the follow-up period (17 months). Conclusions: Endoscopic VAC therapy is a new safe and effective alternative to treat complex post-surgical fistulas caused by esophagojejunal anastomosis.


Resumen Introducción. Las fístulas de las anastomosis esófago-yeyunales postquirúrgicas pueden llegar a ser mortales. En la actualidad, existen varias alternativas de tratamiento, y en los últimos años la terapia endoscópica de presión negativa se ha convertido en un método innovador y con grandes ventajas para el manejo de estas fístulas. Presentación del caso. Hombre de 72 años diagnosticado con adenocarcinoma gástrico de cuerpo y fondo a quien se le realizó una gastrectomía total con linfadenectomía D2 y una anastomosis en Y de Roux con intención curativa en un hospital de cuarto nivel en Popayán, Colombia. Sin embargo, en el posoperatorio presentó síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica y abdomen agudo producto de fístula esófago-yeyunal. Se realizó manejo inicial con laparotomía, dos lavados de cavidad peritoneal y drenaje abdominal. Posteriormente, el paciente desarrolló abdomen congelado, por lo que no fue posible acceder a la anastomosis esófago-yeyunal. Se intentó cierre de fístula mediante la inserción de prótesis metálica autoexpandible, pero el procedimiento no fue exitoso. Se inició terapia de rescate mediante sistema de cierre asistido por vacío (VAC) por vía endoscópica. Luego de 5 recambios del sistema VAC, se logró el drenaje completo de la colección intraabdominal encontrada, el cierre completo de la cavidad peritoneal y el cierre de la fuga esófago-yeyunal, con una pequeña formación diverticular residual. La condición del paciente mejoró progresivamente, con reinicio de la vía oral a los 20 días del inicio de la terapia VAC. Además, no se reportaron nuevas complicaciones abdominales en el periodo de seguimiento (17 meses). Conclusión. La terapia endoscópica de VAC es una nueva alternativa segura y efectiva para el tratamiento de fístulas postquirúrgicas complejas producto de anastomosis esófago-yeyunales.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (EJAL) is among the most feared complications after gastric cancer surgery; they entail an uncertain prognosis and relate with increased morbidity and mortality. Factors associated with their development are not well determined, and their diagnosis and treatment vary between institutions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective case-control study of patients operated of total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy from January 2002 to December 2018. We divided our sample into two groups based on the presence of EJAL, and compared demographic, clinical, and histologic variables. We performed a logistic regression model to search risk factors associated with EJAL and described the management offered in our center. RESULTS: We included 58 patients of which 8 (13.7%) presented clinically relevant EJAL. On the comparative analysis, albumin levels and diffuse histology presented a statistically significant difference between groups and presented association with EJAL in the logistic regression model. Regarding treatment of EJAL, ten patients (55.5%) required only conservative measures, whereas eight patients (44.4%) warranted an endoscopic or surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: Our retrospective analysis identified some factors that may be associated with the development of EJAL after gastric cancer surgery. High suspicion and prompt identification of this complication is essential to improve postoperative outcomes in this group.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Las fugas de la anastomosis esófago-yeyunal se encuentran entre las más temidas complicaciones de la cirugía para cáncer gástrico. Estas conllevan un mal pronóstico con una alta mortalidad y morbilidad. Los factores asociados a su desarrollo no están bien determinados y su diagnóstico, y tratamiento varían ampliamente entre instituciones. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles en pacientes operados de gastrectomía total con esófago-yeyuno anastomosis en Y de Roux en el periodo de enero 2002 a diciembre 2018. Nuestra muestra fue dividida en dos grupos con base al desarrollo de fuga de anastomosis en el postoperatorio. Se realizó un análisis comparativo de características demográficas, clínicas y histológicas. Se realizó además una regresión logística para identificar factores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de fuga de anastomosis en nuestra serie. RESULTADOS: Incluimos a 58 pacientes de los cuales 8 (13.7%) presentaron fuga de anastomosis clínicamente relevante. En el estudio comparativo: Niveles disminuidos de albúmina e histología difusa fueron significativamente mayores en el grupo de fuga y se asociaron en el modelo de regresión logística. En cuanto al tratamiento, diez pacientes (55%) requirieron únicamente tratamiento conservador, mientras que ocho pacientes (44.4%) fueron sometidos a maniobras endoscópicas o quirúrgicas. CONCLUSIÓN: Nuestro análisis retrospectivo identifico factores asociados al desarrollo de fuga de anastomosis posterior a cirugía de cáncer gástrico. Una alta sospecha diagnóstica es esencial para mejorar el pronóstico de estos pacientes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The intestinal anastomotic leakage is the most feared surgical complication of a digestive surgery and is associated with a significant increase of morbidity, mortality and hospital stay. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the risk factors to the intestinal anastomotic leakage in elective surgery. METHOD: Observational and retrospective study in which we include patients with intestinal anastomosis, in elective surgery at the second level hospital from January 2007 to January 2017. RESULTS: 64 patients were included in the study, in which 7 presented anastomotic leakage. The statistically significant risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage were, cocaine use (p = 0.030), neoplasia as a primary pathology (p = 0.008), neoadjuvant treatment for neoplasia (p = 0.003), and end-to-end anastomosis (p = 0.037). Patients with a leakage had a longer hospital stay and a mortality of 14.3%. CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors associated with the presence of anastomotic leakage found in this study are consistent with the reported worldwide literature. However, in our results, it is worth highlighting the use of cocaine as a risk factor, with statistical significance.


ANTECEDENTES: La fuga de una anastomosis intestinal es la complicación quirúrgica más temida de la cirugía digestiva y se asocia con un aumento significativo de la morbimortalidad y de la estancia hospitalaria. OBJETIVO: Analizar los factores de riesgo asociados a la fuga de anastomosis intestinal en cirugía electiva. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional y retrospectivo en el que se recabaron los expedientes de los pacientes operados de anastomosis intestinal en forma electiva en un hospital de segundo nivel de enero de 2007 a enero de 2017. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 64 pacientes, de los cuales siete presentaron fuga de la anastomosis. Los factores de riesgo asociados a fuga anastomótica estadísticamente significativos fueron consumo de cocaína (p = 0.030), neoplasia como patología primaria (p = 0.008), tratamiento con neoadyuvantes para neoplasia (p = 0.003) y anastomosis término-terminal (p = 0.037). Los pacientes con fuga tuvieron una estancia intrahospitalaria más prolongada y una mortalidad del 14.3%. CONCLUSIONES: Los factores de riesgo asociados con la presencia de fuga anastomótica encontrados en este estudio son consistentes con los reportados en la literatura mundial. Sin embargo, en nuestros resultados cabe destacar el uso de cocaína como factor de riesgo, con significancia estadística.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leak is a serious complication of rectal cancer surgery that leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Its incidence is 3-21%, usually appearing 5-7 days after surgery, although there are cases of late presentation as chronic anastomotic fistulas or sinuses. CASE REPORT: We present three cases of patients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer and developed necrotizing fasciitis due to late anastomotic leaks. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that early and resolutive surgical treatment is recommended for chronic anastomotic fistulas or sinuses, even when asymptomatic, because of the associated risk of necrotizing fasciitis.


ANTECEDENTES: La dehiscencia anastomótica es una complicación grave de la cirugía del cáncer de recto que conlleva un aumento de la morbimortalidad. Su incidencia se sitúa en un 3-21%, manifestándose habitualmente alrededor del quinto a séptimo días de posoperatorio, si bien existen casos de presentación tardía en forma de fístulas o sinus anastomóticos crónicos. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Presentamos tres casos de pacientes intervenidos mediante resección anterior por cáncer de recto que desarrollaron fascitis necrotizante secundaria a dehiscencia anastomótica tardía. CONCLUSIONES: Creemos recomendable el tratamiento quirúrgico resolutivo y precoz de las fístulas y sinus anastomóticos crónicos, incluso asintomáticos, por el potencial riesgo de fascitis necrotizante que suponen.

RESUMO

Introducción: La fuga anastomótica es la principal complicación de la cirugía del esófago, con altos índices de incidencia y mortalidad. Objetivo: Identificar los factores involucrados en la aparición de la fuga anastomótica en pacientes operados de cáncer de esófago en Cuba en el periodo de 1988 al 2020. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación observacional clínico epidemiológica multicéntrica, no randomizada, en el periodo de 1988 al 2020. El universo y la muestra quedaron constituidos por 2844 y 595 enfermos de 9 centros hospitalarios. Algunas variables estudiadas incluyeron sexo, edad, variedad histológica, intervención quirúrgica realizada, comorbilidades y su interrelación con la fuga anastomótica. Resultados: La fuga anastomótica predominó en el grupo de mayores de 55 años (17,8 por ciento), en el sexo femenino 65 (10,9 por ciento), en los no fumadores 79 (13,3 por ciento) y en los que no ingerían bebidas alcohólicas con 100 pacientes (16,8 por ciento). En enfermos con niveles de albúmina normales 98 (16,5 por ciento), con proteínas bajas 94 (15,7por ciento) y cifras normales de hemoglobina 105 (17,6 por ciento). En la variedad histológica adenocarcinoma 65 (10,9 por ciento), la técnica quirúrgica transhiatal 69 (11,6 por ciento), realizada de forma manual 123 (20,7 por ciento), de localización cervical 111 (18,6 por ciento), en cara anterior 57 (9,6 por ciento), en un plano 78 (13,1 por ciento), en la variante término-lateral 120 (20,2 por ciento). Conclusiones: La fuga anastomótica predominó en mujeres mayores de 50 años, con adenocarcinoma, operadas con técnicas transhiatales, manuales, en un plano, termino-laterales, en cara anterior y con hipoproteinemia(AU)


Introduction: Anastomotic leak is the main complication of esophageal surgery, with high incidence and mortality rates. Objective: To identify the factors involved in the appearance of anastomotic leak in patients operated on for esophageal cancer in Cuba in the period from 1988 to 2020. Methods: A nonrandomized, multicenter, clinical-epidemiological and observational investigation was carried out in the period from 1988 to 2020. The universe and the sample consisted of 2844 and 595 patients from nine hospital centers. Some of the variables studied included sex, age, histological variety, surgical intervention performed, comorbidities, and their interrelation with anastomotic leak. Results: Anastomotic leak prevailed in the group aged over 55 years (17.8 percent), in the female sex (65; 10.9 percent)), in nonsmokers (79; 13.3 percent)) and in those who did not ingest alcoholic beverages (100, 16.8; as well as in patients with normal albumin levels (98; 16.5), with low proteins (94; 15.7 percent) and with normal levels of hemoglobin (105; 17.6 percent). In the histological variety of adenocarcinoma (65; 10.9 percent), there was a predominance of the transhiatal surgical technique (69; 11.6 percent), performed manually (123; 20.7 percent), of cervical location (111; 18.6 percent), in the anterior face (57; 9.6 percent), in one plane (78; 13.1 percent), and in the termino-lateral variant (120; 20.2 percent). Conclusions: Anastomotic leak prevailed in women aged over 50 years, with adenocarcinoma, operated on through transhiatal techniques, manually, in one plane, using the termino-lateral variant, in the anterior face and with hypoproteinemia(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos : La escasa literatura existente sugiere haber una menor tasa de fugas anastomóticas y una menor formación tardía de estenosis después de la anastomosis esofagogástrica con grapas comparada con la técnica de anastomosis manual. El objetivo del presente estudio es comparar los resultados quirúrgicos de la anastomosis cervical manual termino-lateral versus la anastomosis mecánica por grapado laterolateral luego de una esofagectomía transhiatal por cáncer. Materiales y métodos : Se realizó una revisión retrospectiva de los pacientes sometidos a esofagectomía transhiatal con anastomosis manual o mecánica por neoplasia en tres instituciones de Medellín, entre 2011 y 2018. Los criterios de valoración incluyeron la tasa de fuga anastomótica, la morbilidad, la mortalidad, la estancia hospitalaria y anastomóticas identificadas las estenosis por endoscopia que requirieran dilatación. Resultados : se evaluaron 68 pacientes (40 hombres, 59%), 37 con anastomosis manual y 31 con anastomosis mecánica con características demográficas similares. Se produjeron fugas anastomóticas en 13 pacientes (19,1%), sin encontrarse una diferencia entre la anastomosis manual y mecánica (18,9 frente a 19,3%; p = 0,93). La morbilidad global (61%), la mortalidad intrahospitalaria (3%) y la duración de la estancia hospitalaria (mediana de 12 días) no se vieron afectadas por la técnica anastomótica. Se dispuso de una evaluación endoscópica de seguimiento en todos los pacientes y se detectó una estenosis anastomótica asociada o no a fugas de la anastomosis en 18 pacientes (22%), los casos de estenosis sin fuga fueron más frecuente con la técnica de anastomosis manual que la mecánica (21,6 vs 6,4%; p=0,07) con una duración mayor del procedimiento quirúrgico en caso de la anastomosis manual (p=0,05). Conclusiones : Nuestro estudio no aleatorizado sugiere que la técnica de anastomosis mecánica cursa con un tiempo quirúrgico menor y una menor tasa de estenosis que la anastomosis manual en la reconstrucción esofagogástrica cervical tras la esofagectomía transhiatal, con una tasa de fuga anastomótica, estancia hospitalaria y morbimortalidad similares.


Objectives : The scarce existing literature suggests having a lower rate of anastomotic leakage and less late stricture formation after stapled esophagogastric anastomosis compared to the manual anastomosis technique. The aim of the present study is to compare the surgical outcomes of termino-lateral manual cervical anastomosis versus mechanical anastomosis by later lateral stapling, after transhiatal esophagectomy for cancer. Materials and methods : A retrospective review of patients undergoing transhiatal esophagectomy with manual or mechanical anastomosis for neoplasia was performed at three institutions in Medellin, between 2011 and 2018. Endpoints included leak rate, morbidity, mortality, hospital stay, and endoscopically identified anastomotic strictures requiring dilatation. Results : 68 patients (40 men, 59%) were evaluated, 37 with manual anastomosis and 31 with mechanical anastomosis with similar demographic characteristics. Anastomotic leaks occurred in 13 patients (19.1%), with no difference found between manual and mechanical anastomosis (18.9 vs. 19.3%; p=0.93). Overall morbidity (61%), in-hospital mortality (3%) and length of hospital stay (median 12 days) were not affected by anastomotic technique. Follow-up endoscopic evaluation was available in all patients and anastomotic stricture associated or not with leak was detected in 18 patients (22%), in cases of stricture without leak is more frequent with manual than mechanical anastomosis technique (21.6 vs 6.4%; p=0.07) with longer duration of surgical procedure in case of manual anastomosis (p=0.05). Conclusions : Our non-randomized study suggests that the manual anastomosis technique results in a shorter surgical time and a lower stricture rate than mechanical anastomosis in cervical esophagogastric reconstruction after transhiatal esophagectomy, with a similar rate of leakage, hospital stay and morbidity and mortality.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Identificar los factores asociados a dehiscencia de anastomosis de intestino delgado y grueso. MÉTODO: Se incluyeron 92 anastomosis de intestino delgado y grueso, en mayores de 18 años, realizadas en 2012-2016. Se evaluaron factores asociados en el preoperatorio, el transoperatorio y el posoperatorio. RESULTADOS: Se presentó dehiscencia de anastomosis en el 13% de los casos. Se encontró una asociación significativa con ingesta previa de medicamentos (p = 0.05; odds ratio [OR]: 1.17; IC 95%) y con anastomosis primaria (p = 0.05; OR: 3.6; 0.92-14.5). En los pacientes con dehiscencia se incrementó la estancia intrahospitalaria. CONCLUSIÓN: La presencia de dehiscencia de anastomosis fue similar a lo reportado en la literatura. Los factores asociados fueron la ingesta previa de medicamentos y la anastomosis primaria. OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors associated with dehiscence of anastomosis of the small and large intestine. METHOD: 92 anastomoses of the small and large intestine were included in patients over 18 years of age, performed in 2012-2016. Associated factors were evaluated in pre, trans and postoperative. RESULTS: Anastomosis dehiscence was presented in 13%. A significant association was found for previous medication intake (p = 0.05; odds ratio [OR]: 1.17; 1.024-1.33) and primary anastomosis (p = 0.05, OR: 3.6; 0.92-14.5). In patients with dehiscence, the hospital stay was increased. CONCLUSION: The presence of dehiscence of anastomosis was similar to that reported in the literature. The associated factors were previous medication intake, and primary anastomosis.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Las filtraciones de anastomosis colorrectales tienen una incidencia de 5 a 15% y su manejo depende de las manifestaciones clínicas, la distancia desde el margen anal y su ubicación intra o extra peritoneal. En algunos casos seleccionados el manejo endoscópico ha demostrado ser un tratamiento efectivo. En el presente reporte de caso se utilizó el sistema de drenaje rectal transanal asistido por vacío descrito por Weidenhagen et al., para el tratamiento de una fuga anastomótica pero se utilizó una espuma de polivinilo en vez la espuma tradicionalmente usada de poliuretano con el fin de disminuir el número de cambios de la espuma y el tiempo de tratamiento.


ABSTRACT Colorectal anastomosis leaks have an incidence of 5 to 15% and their management depends on the clinical manifestations, the distance to the anal verge and the intra or extra peritoneal location. In some selected cases, endoscopic management has proven to be an effective treatment. In this case report, the vacuum-assisted transanal rectal drainage system described by Weidenhagen et al. was used for the treatment of an anastomotic leak. We used a polyvinyl sponge instead of the polyurethane sponge traditionally used with the intention to reduce sponge changes and treatment time.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Intra-abdominal septic complications (IASC) affect short-term outcomes after surgery for colon cancer. Blood transfusions have been associated with worse short-term results. The role of IASC and blood transfusions on long-term oncologic results is still debated. This study aims to assess the impact of these two variables on survival after curative colon cancer resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent curative surgery for colon cancer at a university hospital, between 1993 and 2010. Cox regression was used to identify the role of IASC and transfusions (alone and combined) on local recurrence (LR), disease-free survival (DFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS: Out of the 1686 patients analyzed, 1277 fit in the inclusion criteria. Colorectal surgeons performed the procedure in 82.2% of the patients. Blood transfusions were administered to 25.8% of the patients. Thirty-day complication and mortality rates were 34.5% and 6.1%. IASC occurred in 9.9%. The mean follow-up was 66 months. The 5-year rates of LR, DFS, and CSS were 7%, 79.8%, and 85.1%. The year of surgery and pT (Hazard ratio 9.35, 95% CI 1.23-70.9, for T4) and pN (Hazard ratio 2.57, 95% CI 1.39-4.72, for N2) stages were independent risk factors for LR. The same variables, bowel obstruction and surgeries performed by surgeons not specialized in colorectal surgery, were also associated with worse DFS and CSS. IASC and blood transfusions were not associated with LR, DFS, and CSS, whether alone or combined. CONCLUSIONS: IASC and transfusions were not associated with worse oncological outcomes after curative colon cancer surgery per se. Other factors were more important predictors of survival.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Diverting stomata are recommended in patients with low anterior resection and risk factors in order to reduce the severity of anastomotic leaks. Usually, a radiology study is performed prior to the closure of the stoma to detect subclinical leaks. The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical utility of the radiology study. METHODS: A prospective cohort study of patients undergoing anterior rectal resection for rectal cancer and those who underwent stoma closure without contrast enema. This study was carried out after a retrospective review of radiology study results prior to the closure of the stoma in patients operated from 2007 to 2011. RESULTS: Eighty-six patients met the study criteria. Thirteen patients (15.1%) presented pelvic sepsis. Contrast enema before stoma closure was pathological in 8 patients (9.3%). Five out of the 13 patients with pelvic sepsis had a pathological radiological study, compared to only 3 out of the 73 patients without intra-abdominal complications after rectal resection (38.5% vs. 4.1%; P=.001). Based on these results, we conducted a prospective study omitting the contrast enema in patients with no postoperative complications. Thirty-eight patients had their stoma closed without a prior radiology study. None of the patients presented pelvic sepsis. CONCLUSIONS: Radiology studies of the colorectal anastomosis before reconstruction can safely be omitted in patients without pelvic sepsis after the previous rectal resection.
