Abstract

Background

Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains the most challenging complication following colorectal resection. There are several tests that can be used to test anastomotic integrity intraoperatively including air leak testing (ALT) and intraoperative colonoscopy (IOC). Indocyanine green (ICG) can be used to visualise blood supply to the bowel used in the anastomosis. However, there is no consensus internationally regarding routine use and which technique is superior. The aim of this study was to determine which intraoperative anastomotoic leak test (IALT) was most effective in reducing AL.

Methods

A systematic review and network meta-analysis were performed. An electronic systematic search was performed using Pubmed, CENTRAL, and Web of Science, of studies comparing ALT, IOC, and ICG. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) patients must have had colorectal surgery with formation of an anastomosis; (b) studies must have compared one or more IALTs; (c) and studies must have clear research methodology.

Results

Eleven articles totalling 3844 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. Point estimation showed that the AL rate in the control group (no IALT) was significantly higher when compared to the ICG group (RR 0.44; Crl 0.14–0.87) and higher, but without reaching statistical significance, when compared to ALT (RR 0.53; Crl 0.21–1.30) and IOC (RR 0.49; Crl 0.10–1.80). Indirect comparison showed that the AL rate in the ICG group was lower, when compared to both ALT (RR 0.44; Crl 0.14–0.87) and IOC (RR 0.44; Crl 0.14–0.87).

Conclusions

This study suggests that intraoperative testing for a good blood supply using ICG may reduce the AL rate following colorectal surgery.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
