Abstract

Purpose

Complications resulting from colonic perforation are related to secondary peritonitis due to bacterial or fecal contamination. We investigated outcomes of emergency surgery for colonic perforation associated with fecal contamination with regard to early and late postoperative complication rates and mortality rates, and investigated prognostic factors influencing those outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on factors influencing complications and mortality rates was conducted on data from 152 patients who had undergone emergent operations for colonic perforation between January 2005 and December 2011. Patients were categorized into two groups: those with and without gross fecal contamination at the time of operation.

Results

Forty-one (26.9 %) patients had gross fecal contamination. Patients who had fetal contamination had a higher Mannheim peritonitis index (31.3 ± 5.1 vs. 21.9 ± 7.2, p < 0.001), higher organ failure rate (53.7 vs. 24.3 %, p = 0.001), and longer operating time (168.8 ± 49.9 vs. 144.8 ± 66.1 min, p = 0.036) than patients without fecal contamination. Early complications (<30 days) occurred more frequently in the fecal contamination group (82.9 vs. 49.5 %, p = 0.001), although late complications (46.2 vs. 39.3 %, p = 0.942) and mortality (17.1 vs. 8.1 %, p = 0.110) did not differ. In multivariate analysis, fecal contamination significantly predicted early complications (odds ratio, 2.78; p = 0.037) but not late complications or mortality.

Conclusions

The frequency of early complications can increase if fecal contamination exists. However, when early complications are well managed, fecal contamination does not significantly influence occurrences late complications or mortality.

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.
