RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: There is controversy regarding the maximum number of elements that can be included in a surgical site infection prevention bundle. In addition, it is unclear whether a bundle of this type can be implemented at a multicentre level. METHODS: A pragmatic, multicentre cohort study was designed to analyse surgical site infection rates in elective colorectal surgery after the sequential implementation of two preventive bundle protocols. Secondary outcomes were to determine compliance with individual measures and to establish their effectiveness, duration of stay, microbiology and 30-day mortality rate. RESULTS: A total of 32 205 patients were included. A 50% reduction in surgical site infection was achieved after the implementation of two sequential sets of bundles: from 18.16% in the Baseline group to 10.03% with Bundle-1 and 8.19% with Bundle-2. Bundle-2 reduced superficial-surgical site infection (OR 0.74 (95% c.i. 0.58 to 0.95); P = 0.018) and deep-surgical site infection (OR 0.66 (95% c.i. 0.46 to 0.93); P = 0.018) but not organ/space-surgical site infection (OR 0.88 (95% c.i. 0.74 to 1.06); P = 0.172). Compliance increased after the addition of four measures to Bundle-2. In the multivariable analysis, for organ/space-surgical site infection, laparoscopy, oral antibiotic prophylaxis and mechanical bowel preparation were protective factors in colonic procedures, while no protective factors were found in rectal surgery. Duration of stay fell significantly over time, from 7 in the Baseline group to 6 and 5 days for Bundle-1 and Bundle-2 respectively (P < 0.001). The mortality rate fell from 1.4% in the Baseline group to 0.59% and 0.6% for Bundle-1 and Bundle-2 respectively (P < 0.001). There was an increase in Gram-positive bacteria and yeast isolation, and reduction in Gram-negative bacteria and anaerobes in organ/space-surgical site infection. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of measures to create a final 10-measure protocol had a cumulative protective effect on reducing surgical site infection. However, organ/space-surgical site infection did not benefit from the addition. No protective measures were found for organ/space-surgical site infection in rectal surgery. Compliance with preventive measures increased from Bundle-1 to Bundle-2.

Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a potentially life-threatening complication following colorectal cancer (CRC) resection. In this study, we aimed to unravel longitudinal changes in microbial structure before, during, and after surgery and to determine if microbial alterations may be predictive for risk assessment between sufficient anastomotic healing (AS) and AL prior surgery. We analysed the microbiota of 134 colon mucosal biopsies with 16S rRNA V1-V2 gene sequencing. Samples were collected from three location sites before, during, and after surgery, and patients received antibiotics after the initial collection and during surgery. The microbial structure showed dynamic surgery-related changes at different time points. Overall bacterial diversity and the abundance of some genera such as Faecalibacterium or Alistipes decreased over time, while the genera Enterococcus and Escherichia_Shigella increased. The distribution of taxa between AS and AL revealed significant differences in the abundance of genera such as Prevotella, Faecalibacterium and Phocaeicola. In addition to Phocaeicola, Ruminococcus2 and Blautia showed significant differences in abundance between preoperative sample types. ROC analysis of the predictive value of these genera for AL revealed an AUC of 0.802 (p = 0.0013). In summary, microbial composition was associated with postoperative outcomes, and the abundance of certain genera may be predictive of postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND: Ureteric injury (UI) is an infrequent but serious complication of colorectal surgery. Prophylactic ureteric stenting is employed to avoid UI, yet its efficacy remains debated. Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) has been used to facilitate ureter detection. This study aimed to investigate the role of ICG-FI in identification of ureters during colorectal surgery and its impact on the incidence of UI. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study involving 556 consecutive patients who underwent colorectal surgery between 2018 and 2023 assessed the utility of routine prophylactic ureteric stenting with adjunctive ICG-FI. Patients with ICG-FI were compared to those without ICG-FI. Demographic data, operative details, and postoperative morbidity were analyzed. Statistical analysis included univariable regression. RESULTS: Ureteric ICG-FI was used in 312 (56.1%) patients, whereas 43.9% were controls. Both groups were comparable in terms of demographics except for a higher prevalence of prior abdominal surgeries in the ICG-FI group. Although intraoperative visualization was significantly higher in the ICG-FI group (95.3% vs 89.1%; p = 0.011), the incidence of UI was similar between groups (0.3% vs 0.8%; p = 0.585). Postoperative complications were similar between the two groups. Median stent insertion time was longer in the ICG-FI group (32 vs 25 min; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Ureteric ICG-FI improved intraoperative visualization of the ureters but was not associated with a reduced UI rate. Median stent insertion time increased with use of ureteric ICG-FI, but total operative time did not. Despite its limitations, this study is the largest of its kind suggesting that ureteric ICG-FI may be a valuable adjunct to facilitate ureteric visualization during colorectal surgery.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate outcomes of low with high intraabdominal pressure during laparoscopic colorectal resection surgery. METHODS: A systematic search of multiple electronic data sources was conducted, and all studies comparing low with high (standard) intraabdominal pressures were included. Our primary outcomes were post-operative ileus occurrence and return of bowel movement/flatus. The evaluated secondary outcomes included: total operative time, post-operative haemorrhage, anastomotic leak, pneumonia, surgical site infection, overall post-operative complications (categorised by Clavien-Dindo grading), and length of hospital stay. Revman 5.4 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Six randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and one observational study with a total of 771 patients (370 surgery at low intraabdominal pressure and 401 at high pressures) were included. There was no statistically significant difference in all the measured outcomes; post-operative ileus [OR 0.80; CI (0.42, 1.52), P = 0.50], time-to-pass flatus [OR -4.31; CI (-12.12, 3.50), P = 0.28], total operative time [OR 0.40; CI (-10.19, 11.00), P = 0.94], post-operative haemorrhage [OR 1.51; CI (0.41, 5.58, P = 0.53], anastomotic leak [OR 1.14; CI (0.26, 4.91), P = 0.86], pneumonia [OR 1.15; CI (0.22, 6.09), P = 0.87], SSI [OR 0.69; CI (0.19, 2.47), P = 0.57], overall post-operative complications [OR 0.82; CI (0.52, 1.30), P = 0.40], Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 3 [OR 1.27; CI (0.59, 2.77), P = 0.54], and length of hospital stay [OR -0.68; CI (-1.61, 0.24), P = 0.15]. CONCLUSION: Low intraabdominal pressure is safe and feasible approach to laparoscopic colorectal resection surgery with non-inferior outcomes to standard or high pressures. More robust and well-powered RCTs are needed to consolidate the potential benefits of low over high pressure intra-abdominal surgery.

Background: Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after colorectal surgery, leading to increased hospital stay and costs. This study aimed to explore patient comorbidities that contribute to the development of POI in the colorectal surgical population and compare machine learning (ML) model accuracy to existing risk instruments. Study Design: In a retrospective study, data were collected on 316 adult patients who underwent colorectal surgery from January 2020 to December 2021. The study excluded patients undergoing multi-visceral resections, re-operations, or combined primary and metastatic resections. Patients lacking follow-up within 90 days after surgery were also excluded. Eight different ML models were trained and cross-validated using 29 patient comorbidities and four comorbidity risk indices (ASA Status, NSQIP, CCI, and ECI). Results: The study found that 6.33% of patients experienced POI. Age, BMI, gender, kidney disease, anemia, arrhythmia, rheumatoid arthritis, and NSQIP score were identified as significant predictors of POI. The ML models with the greatest accuracy were AdaBoost tuned with grid search (94.2%) and XG Boost tuned with grid search (85.2%). Conclusions: This study suggests that ML models can predict the risk of POI with high accuracy and may offer a new frontier in early detection and intervention for postoperative outcome optimization. ML models can greatly improve the prediction and prevention of POI in colorectal surgery patients, which can lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Further research is required to validate and assess the replicability of these results.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) for anastomotic leakage (AL) following colorectal surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data for patients who underwent colorectal surgery at our hospital between November 2019 and December 2023. CRP and PCT were measured postoperatively to compare patients with/without AL, and changes were compared between low- and high-risk groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CRP and PCT to identify AL in high-risk patients. RESULTS: Mean CRP was 142.53 mg/L and 189.57 mg/L in the low- and high-risk groups, respectively, on postoperative day (POD)3. On POD2, mean PCT was 2.75 ng/mL and 8.16 ng/mL in low- and high-risk patients, respectively; values on POD3 were 3.53 ng/mL and 14.86 ng/mL, respectively. The areas under the curve (AUC) for CRP and PCT on POD3 were 0.71 and 0.78, respectively (CRP cut-off: 235.64 mg/L; sensitivity: 96%; specificity: 89.42% vs PCT cut-off: 3.94 ng/mL; sensitivity: 86%; specificity: 93.56%; AUC: 0.78). The AUC, sensitivity, and specificity for the combined diagnostic ability of CRP and PCT on POD3 were 0.92, 90%, and 100%, respectively (cut-off: 0.44). CONCLUSIONS: Combining PCT and CRP on POD3 enhances the diagnostic accuracy for AL.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of obesity on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) following laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Methods: A total of 150 patients with pathological diagnosis of colorectal cancer who accepted laparoscopic colorectal excision from January to May 2023 were retrospectively recruited. All the patients scored 26 points or more in the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) model, making them all in intermediate to high risks of PPCs. Patients were divided into obesity group and non-obesity group depending on whether they were obese or not. Propensity score matching (1â¶1) was performed to achieve the balance of clinicopathological characteristics with the matching factors of age, sex, respiratory complications and ARISCAT score. A total of 96 patients were eventually enrolled, with 48 patients in obesity group and 48 patients in non-obesity group. Besides, the patients were divided into 25°-30° Trendelenburg subgroup and ±10°-15° Trendelenburg subgroup according to surgical sites for further analysis. The incidence of PPCs, the intraoperative airway pressure and blood biomarker expression of lung injury, including soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and angiopoietin-2 (ANG2) at postoperative day (POD) 1 and POD3 between the two groups were compared. The relationship between obesity and incidence of PPCs within 30 postoperative days were analyzed with unifactorial Cox proportional hazard model. Results: The obesity group was comprised of 35 males and 13 females with a median age of 60 (49, 69) years, and the non-obesity group was comprised of 35 males and 13 females with a median age of 60 (52, 67) years. The incidence of PPCs was 50.0% (24/48) in the obesity group, which was higher than 20.8% (10/48) in the non-obesity group and the incidence of grade â PPCs and microatelectasis were 31.3% (15/48) and 33.3% (16/48), higher than the 12.5% (6/48) and 12.5% (6/48) of the non-obesity group (all P<0.05). The peak airway pressure (Ppeak) and plateau airway pressure (Pplat) of patients in obesity group were 34.0(31.5, 36.5) and 30.0(27.0, 32.0) cmH2O(1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa), which were significantly higher than the 26.0 (24.0, 29.5) and 22.0 (21.0, 26.5) cmH2O of the non-obesity group (all P<0.001). The ANG2 level of the obesity group at POD3 was 11.9 (8.4, 16.5) µg/L, which was higher than 9.2 (6.0, 12.3) µg/L of the non-obesity group (P=0.045). In 25°-30°Trendelenburg subgroup, the incidence of PPCs in obese patients were significantly higher than that of non-obese patients [41.4% (12/29) vs 11.4% (4/35), P=0.005]. In ±10°-15°Trendelenburg subgroup, no significant difference was found in PPCs incidence between obese and non-obese patients [63.2% (12/19) vs 46.2% (6/13), P=0.215]. The unifactorial Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that obesity was a risk factor of PPCs in 30 postoperative days (HR=3.015, 95%CI: 1.438-6.321, P=0.001). Conclusion: In patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery with intermediate to high risk of PPCs, obesity raises intraoperative airway pressure and aggravates intraoperative lung endothelial injury. Obesity is a risk factor of PPCs in 30 postoperative days.

AIM: Prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) is common and is associated with a significant healthcare burden. Previous studies have attempted to predict PPOI clinically using risk prediction algorithms. The aim of this work was to systematically review and compare risk prediction algorithms for PPOI following colorectal surgery. METHOD: A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL Plus. Studies that developed and/or validated a risk prediction algorithm for PPOI in adults following colorectal surgery were included. Data were collected on study design, population and operative characteristics, the definition of PPOI used and risk prediction algorithm design and performance. Quality appraisal was assessed using the PROBAST tool. RESULTS: Eleven studies with 87 549 participants were included in our review. Most were retrospective, single-centre analyses (6/11, 55%) and rates of PPOI varied from 10% to 28%. The most commonly used variables were sex (8/11, 73%), age (6/11, 55%) and surgical approach (5/11, 45%). Area under the curve ranged from 0.68-0.78, and only three models were validated. However, there was significant variation in the definition of PPOI used. No study reported sensitivity, specificity or positive/negative predictive values. CONCLUSION: Currently available risk prediction algorithms for PPOI appear to discriminate moderately well, although there is a lack of validation data. Future studies should aim to use a standardized definition of PPOI, comprehensively report model performance and validate their findings using internal and external methodologies.

BACKGROUND: Although surgical treatment is curative for colorectal cancers, erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the complications that affect the patient quality of life. The present study aimed to evaluate sexual dysfunction in patients who underwent anterior resection (AR) and low AR (LAR) surgery secondary to rectosigmoid pathologies in our clinic, to analyze the effective variables, and to compare the results. METHODS: In the retrospectively designed study, male patients who underwent surgery for malignancy or other surgical pathologies in the General Surgery Clinic between January 2017 and December 2022 were examined. Female gender, patients under 18 years of age, and patients who refused to participate in the study were excluded. RESULTS: The high age of the patient increased the risk of severe ED in the postoperative period. However, surgical technique, alcohol use, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and Clavien-Dindo class were not determinants in the presence of severe ED. CONCLUSION: ED is an emerging medical problem that affects patients who undergo colorectal surgery adversely both in social and psychological aspects. Discussions on the issue are still ongoing. Clinicians' concerns can be addressed in the future as the number of prospectively designed studies involving more homogeneous and larger populations increases.

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a burdensome complication following colorectal surgery, with increased morbidity, oncological compromise, and mortality. AL may impose a substantial financial burden on hospitals and society due to extensive resource utilization. Estimated costs associated with AL are important when exploring preventive measures and treatment strategies. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the existing literature on (socio)economic costs associated with AL after colorectal surgery, appraise their quality, compare reported outcomes, and identify knowledge gaps. METHODS: Health economic evaluations reporting costs related to AL after colorectal surgery were identified through searching multiple online databases until June 2023. Pairs of reviewers independently evaluated the quality using an adapted version of the Consensus on Health Economic Criteria list. Extracted costs were converted to 2022 euros () and also adjusted for purchasing power disparities among countries. RESULTS: From 1980 unique abstracts, 59 full-text publications were assessed for eligibility, and 17 studies were included in the review. The incremental costs of AL after correcting for purchasing power disparity ranged from 2250 (+39.9%, Romania) to 83,633 (+ 513.1%, Brazil). Incremental costs were mainly driven by hospital (re)admission, intensive care stay, and reinterventions. Only one study estimated the economic societal burden of AL between 1.9 and 6.1 million. CONCLUSIONS: AL imposes a significant financial burden on hospitals and social care systems. The magnitude of costs varies greatly across countries and data on the societal burden and non-medical costs are scarce. Adherence to international reporting standards is essential to understand international disparities and to externally validate reported cost estimates.

PURPOSE: Pulmonary complications (PC) are a serious condition with a 20% mortality rate. However, few reports have examined risk factors for PC after colorectal surgery. This study investigated the frequency, characteristics, and risk factors for PC after colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS: Between January 2016 and December 2022, we retrospectively reviewed 3979 consecutive patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery in seven participating hospitals. Patients were divided into patients who experienced PC (PC group, n = 54) and patients who did not (non-PC group, n = 3925). Clinical and pathological features were compared between groups. RESULTS: Fifty-four patients (1.5%) developed PC, of whom 2 patients (3.7%) died due to PC. Age was greater (80 years vs 71 years; p < 0.001), frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary distress was greater (9.3% vs 3.2%; p = 0.029), performance status was poorer (p < 0.001), the proportion of underweight was higher (42.6% vs 13.4%, p < 0.001), frequency of open surgery was greater (24.1% vs 9.3%; p < 0.001), and blood loss was greater (40 mL vs 22 mL; p < 0.001) in the PC group. Multivariate analysis revealed male sex (odds ratio (OR) 2.165, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.176-3.986; p = 0.013), greater age (OR 3.180, 95%CI 1.798-5.624; p < 0.001), underweight (OR 3.961, 95%CI 2.210-7.100; p < 0.001), and poorer ASA-PS (OR 3.828, 95%CI 2.144-6.834; p < 0.001) as independent predictors of PC. CONCLUSION: Our study revealed male sex, greater age, underweight, and poorer ASA-PS as factors associated with development of PC, and suggested that pre- and postoperative rehabilitation and pneumonia control measures should be implemented for patients at high risk of PC.

Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation, including low tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure, reduces postoperative pulmonary complications. However, the effect and specific alveolar recruitment maneuver method are controversial. We investigated whether the intraoperative intermittent recruitment maneuver further reduced postoperative pulmonary complications while using a lung-protective ventilation strategy. Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomly allocated to the recruitment or control groups. Intraoperative ventilation was adjusted to maintain a tidal volume of 6-8 mL kg-1 and positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O in both groups. The alveolar recruitment maneuver was applied at three time points (at the start and end of the pneumoperitoneum, and immediately before extubation) by maintaining a continuous pressure of 30 cmH2O for 30 s in the recruitment group. Clinical and radiological evidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was investigated within 7 days postoperatively. A total of 125 patients were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was not significantly different between the recruitment and control groups (28.1% vs. 31.1%, P = 0.711), while the mean ±â standard deviation intraoperative peak inspiratory pressure was significantly lower in the recruitment group (10.7â ±â 3.2 vs. 13.5 ±â 3.0 cmH2O at the time of CO2 gas-out, Pâ <â 0.001; 9.8â ±â 2.3 vs. 12.5 ±â 3.0 cmH2O at the time of recovery, Pâ <â 0.001). The alveolar recruitment maneuver with a pressure of 30 cmH2O for 30 s did not further reduce postoperative pulmonary complications when a low tidal volume and 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure were applied to patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery and was not associated with any significant adverse events. However, the alveolar recruitment maneuver significantly reduced intraoperative peak inspiratory pressure. Further study is needed to validate the beneficial effect of the alveolar recruitment maneuver in patients at increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of shear stress on surgery-related sacral pressure injury (PI) after laparoscopic colorectal surgery performed in the lithotomy position. We included 37 patients who underwent this procedure between November 2021 and October 2022. The primary outcome was average horizontal shear stress caused by the rotation of the operating table during the operation, and the secondary outcome was interface pressure over time. Sensors were used to measure shear stress and interface pressure in the sacral region. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PI. PI had an incidence of 32.4%, and the primary outcome, average horizontal shear stress, was significantly higher in the PI group than in the no-PI group. The interface pressure increased over time in both groups. At 120 min, the interface pressure was two times higher in the PI group than in the no-PI group (PI group, 221.5 mmHg; no-PI group, 86.0 mmHg; p < 0.01). This study suggested that shear stress resulting from rotation of the operating table in the sacral region by laparoscopic colorectal surgery performed in the lithotomy position is the cause of PI. These results should contribute to the prevention of PI.

Wound infection is a serious complication that impacts the prognosis of patients after colorectal surgery (CS). Probiotics and synbiotics (Pro and Syn) are live bacteria that produce bacteriostatic agents in the intestinal system and have a positive effect on postoperative wound infections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Pro and Syn on complications of wound infection after CS. In November 2023, we searched relevant clinical trial reports from Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases and screened the retrieved reports, extracted data, and finally analysed the data by using RevMan 5.3. A total of 12 studies with 1567 patients were included in the study. Pro and Syn significantly reduced total infection (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.35, 0.56; p < 0.00001), surgical incision site infection (SSI) (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.45, 0.81; p = 0.002), pneumonia (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.25, 0.72; p = 0.001), urinary tract infection (OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.14, 0.56; p = 0.0003), and Pro and Syn did not reduce anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.50, 1.41; p = 0.51). Pro and Syn can reduce postoperative wound infections in patients with colorectal cancer, which benefits patients' postoperative recovery.

BACKGROUND: Prophylactic antibiotics (PAs) are standard for preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) post-colorectal surgery. This study aims to compare the effect of additional empiric oral antibiotics (OAs) alongside routine PAs to identify SSI risk factors. METHODS: A retrospective observatory analysis was conducted from January 2019 to December 2022 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. The cohort was divided into two groups: PA given 1 h before surgery and discontinued within 24 h, and OA administered empiric OAs during mechanical bowel preparation in addition to PA. RESULTS: From a total of 6736 patients, 3482 were in the PA group and 3254 in the OA group. SSI incidence showed no significant intergroup difference (p = 0.374) even after propensity score matching (p = 0.338). The multivariable analysis revealed male sex [odds ratio (OR): 2.153, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.626-2.852, and p = 0.001], open surgery (OR: 3.335, 95% CI: 2.456-4.528, and p = 0.001), dirty wound (OR: 2.171, 95% CI: 1.256-3.754, and p = 0.006), and an operation time of more than 145 min (OR: 2.110, 95% CI: 1.324-3.365, and p = 0.002) as SSI risk factors. In rectal surgery subgroup, OA demonstrated a protective effect against SSI (OR: 0.613, 95% CI: 0.408-0.922, and p = 0.019) and in laparoscopic approach (OR: 0.626, 95% CI: 0.412-0.952, and p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: OA did not affect SSI incidence in colorectal surgeries. Male sex, open surgery, dirty wounds, and longer operation time were risk factors for SSI. However, for rectal and laparoscopic surgery, OA was a protective factor for SSI.

BACKGROUND: There is scarce literature on the effect of mechanical abdominal massage on the duration of ileus after colectomy, particularly in the era of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). The aim of this study was to determine whether abdominal massage after colorectal surgery with anastomosis and no stoma helps toward a faster return of intestinal transit. METHODS: This study was a superiority trial and designed as a prospective open-label, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups. Patients scheduled to undergo intestinal resection and follow an ERAS protocol were randomly assigned to either the standard ERAS group or the ERAS plus massage group. The primary endpoint was the return of intestinal transit, defined as the first passage of flatus following the operation. Secondary endpoints included time of the first bowel motion, maximal pain, 30 day complications, complications due to massage, anxiety score given by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) questionnaire, and quality of life assessed by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. RESULTS: Between July 2020 and June 2021, 36 patients were randomly assigned to the ERAS group or the ERAS plus massage group (n = 19). Patients characteristics were comparable. There was no significant difference in time to passage of the first flatus between the ERAS group and the ERAS plus abdominal massage group (1065 versus 1389 min, p = 0.274). No statistically significant intergroup difference was noted for the secondary endpoints. CONCLUSION: Our study, despite its limitations, failed to demonstrate any advantage of abdominal massage to prevent or even reduce symptoms of postoperative ileus after colorectal surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: 38RC20.021.

BACKGROUND: Open colectomy is still performed around the world and associated with significant postoperative pain. OBJECTIVES: Unpublished recommendations based on a systematic review were proposed by the PROcedure SPECific postoperative pain managemenT (PROSPECT) group in 2016. We aimed to update these recommendations by evaluating the available literature and develop recommendations for optimal pain management after open colectomy according to the PROSPECT methodology. DESIGN AND DATA SOURCES: A systematic review using the PROSPECT methodology was undertaken. Randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews published in the English language from 2016 to 2022 assessing postoperative pain after open colectomy using analgesic, anaesthetic or surgical interventions were identified. The primary outcome included postoperative pain scores. RESULTS: The previous 2016 review included data from 93 studies. Out of 842 additional eligible studies identified, 13 new studies were finally retrieved for analysis. Intra-operative and postoperative interventions that improved postoperative pain were paracetamol, epidural analgesia. When epidural is not feasible, intravenous lidocaine or bilateral TAP block or postoperative continuous pre-peritoneal infusion are recommended. Intra-operative and postoperative Cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 specific-inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended for colonic surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The analgesic regimen for open colectomy should include intra-operative paracetamol and COX-2 specific inhibitors or NSAIDs (restricted to colonic surgery), epidural and continued postoperatively with opioids used as rescue analgesics. If epidural is not feasible, bilateral TAP block or IV lidocaine are recommended. Safety issues should be highlighted: local anaesthetics should not be administered by two different routes at the same time. Because of the risk of toxicity, careful dosing and monitoring are necessary.
