Looking forward to the future direction of colorectal surgery in the perspective of clinical research and data collection / 中华胃肠外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Colorectal surgery has been developed rapidly in China because of the advance of minimally invasive surgical techniques, perioperative comprehensive treatment strategies and clinical research in recent years. Comparing the current diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer between China and western industrialized countries, it can be found that the specialized construction and standardized diagnosis and treatment of colorectal surgery in western industrialized countries are very mature, and the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model of colorectal cancer has been standardized. Although there is almost no difference between high-level colorectal cancer centers in the eastern coastal areas of China and western countries, due to the vast size and uneven regional development of China, standardized surgery and standardized treatment concepts of colorectal surgery still need to be popularized. Combined with the current diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer in China, more high-quality clinical research should be carried out to seek new development and breakthroughs in the field of colorectal surgery. Combined with the experience of international and domestic clinical research that has been participated in or carried out, the author believes that quality control of clinical research should be carried out from the following two points 1. structured training and quality control of research; 2. establishment and management of databases. In a word, we should not only focus on colon surgery itself, but also complete the transformation to research-oriented doctors and research-oriented disciplines, cultivate the concept of data collection and clinical research, enhance the scientific awareness of clinical research, and integrate high-quality data collection and clinical research into daily clinical practice. Only in this way can we fundamentally improve the comprehensive strength of China's colorectal surgery, effectively carry out surgical-related clinical research based on the current situation colorectal diseases in China, and obtain high-level evidence-based medical evidence based on the research results of the population of patients in China, and form a guide for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal surgery in China, which will also guide the clinical practice of patients with colorectal diseases in China. This will certainly be a new direction for the development of Chinese colorectal surgery.
