Abstract

Purpose

About 30% of colorectal cancers (CRCs) present with acute symptoms. The adequacy of oncologic resections is a matter of concern since few authors reported that emergency surgery in these patients results in a lower lymph node harvest (LNH). In addition, emergency resections have been reported with a longer hospital stay and higher morbidity rate. We thus conducted a propensity score-matched analysis with the aim of investigating LNH in emergency specimens comparing with elective ones. Secondary aim was the comparison of morbidity and hospital stay.

Methods

Eighty-seven consecutive R0 emergency surgical procedures were matched with elective CRCs using the propensity score method and the following covariates: age, sex, stage, and localization. Groups were compared using univariate and multivariate analyses. Outcome measures were LNH, nodal ratio, Clavien’s morbidity grades, and hospital stay.

Results

Emergency patients presented more metastatic nodes compared with elective ones (p 0.017); however, both presented a comparable mean LNH. Multivariate analysis documented that a T stage ≥3 was the only variable correlated with a nodal positivity (OR 6.3). On univariate analysis, emergency CRCs had a longer mean hospital stay compared with elective resections (p 0.006) and a higher rate of Clavien ≥4 events (p 0.0173). Finally, emergency resection and an age >66 years were variables independently correlated with a mean hospital stay >10 days (OR, respectively, 3.7 and 3.5).

Conclusions

Emergency CRC resections were equivalent to the elective procedures with respect to LNH. However, emergency surgery correlated with a longer mean hospital stay.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Nackenschmerzen nach Bandscheibenvorfall: Muskeltraining hilft!

Bei hartnäckigen Schmerzen aufgrund einer zervikalen Radikulopathie schlägt ein Team der Universität Istanbul vor, lokale Steroidinjektionen mit einem speziellen Trainingsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Nackenmuskulatur zu kombinieren.

US-Team empfiehlt Gastropexie nach Hiatushernien-Op.

Zur Vermeidung von Rezidiven nach Reparatur einer paraösophagealen Hiatushernie sollte einem US-Team zufolge der Magen bei der Op. routinemäßig an der Bauchwand fixiert werden. Das Ergebnis einer randomisierten Studie scheint dafür zu sprechen.

Mit Lidocain kommt der Darm nicht schneller in Schwung

Verzögertes Wiederanspringen der Darmfunktion ist ein Hauptfaktor dafür, wenn Patientinnen und Patienten nach einer Kolonresektion länger als geplant im Krankenhaus bleiben müssen. Ob man diesem Problem mit Lidocain vorbeugen kann, war Thema einer Studie.
