Anastomotic leakage after resection of the rectosigmoid colon in primary ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the study is to evaluate the risk factors of anastomotic leakage (AL) and develop a nomogram to predict the risk of AL in surgical management of primary ovarian cancer.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 770 patients with primary ovarian cancer who underwent surgical resection of the rectosigmoid colon as part of cytoreductive surgery between January 2000 to December 2020. AL was defined based on radiologic studies or sigmoidoscopy with relevant clinical findings. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factor of AL, and a nomogram was developed based on the multivariable analysis. The bootstrapped-concordance index was used for internal validation of the nomogram, and calibration plots were constructed.

Results

The incidence of AL after resection of the rectosigmoid colon was 4.2% (32/770). Diabetes (OR 3.79; 95% CI, 1.31-12.69; p = 0.031), co-operation with distal pancreatectomy (OR, 4.8150; 95% CI, 1.35-17.10; p = 0.015), macroscopic residual tumor (OR, 7.43; 95% CI, 3.24-17.07; p = 0<001) and anastomotic level from the anal verge shorter than 10 cm (OR, 6.28; 95% CI, 2.29-21.43; p = 0.001) were significant prognostic factors for AL on multivariable analysis. Using four variables, the nomogram has been developed to predict anastomotic leakage: https://ALnomogram.github.io/ .

Conclusion

Four risk factors for AL after resection of the rectosigmoid colon are identified from the largest ovarian cancer study cohort. The nomogram from this information provides a numerical risk probability of AL, which could be used in preoperative counseling with patients and intraoperative decision for accompanying surgical procedures and prophylactic use of ileostomy or colostomy to minimize the risk of postoperative leakage.

Project description:BackgroundClinical and experimental evidence suggests that colorectal mucosal microbiota changes during colorectal carcinogenesis and may impair colorectal anastomotic wound healing. Thus, we hypothesized that amounts of colorectal cancer-associated microbes in colorectal tissue might be associated with anastomotic leakage after resection for colorectal carcinoma.MethodsWe analyzed 256 fresh frozen tissues of colorectal cancer from patients who underwent elective colorectal resection and anastomosis. Amounts of colorectal cancer-associated microbes, including Fusobacterium nucleatum, Escherichia coli possessing the polyketide synthase (pks) gene cluster, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bifidobacterium genus, in colorectal cancer tissues were measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay; we equally dichotomized positive cases (high versus low). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess associations of these microbes with anastomotic leakage, adjusting for patient and tumor characteristics, and surgery-related factors.ResultsFusobacterium nucleatum, pks-positive Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bifidobacterium genus were detected in colorectal carcinoma tissue in 140 (54%), 94 (36%), 193 (75%), and 89 (35%) of 256 cases, respectively. Compared with Bifidobacterium genus-negative cases, Bifidobacterium genus-high cases were associated with an increased risk of anastomotic leakage (multivariable odds ratio, 3.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.50 to 10.51; Ptrend = 0.004). The association of Fusobacterium nucleatum, pks-positive Escherichia coli, or Enterococcus faecalis with anastomotic leakage was not statistically significant.ConclusionsThe amount of Bifidobacterium genus in colorectal tissue is associated with an increased risk of anastomotic leakage after resection for colorectal cancer. These findings need to be validated to target gastrointestinal microflora for the prevention of anastomotic leakage after colorectal resection.

Project description:BackgroundEarly diagnosis of anastomotic leakage (AL) after esophageal resection is crucial for the successful management of this complication. Inflammatory serological markers are indicators of complications during the postoperative course. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic value of routine inflammatory markers to predict anastomotic leakage after transthoracic esophageal resection.MethodsData from all consecutive patients undergoing transthoracic esophageal resection between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed from a prospective database. Besides clinicodemographic parameters, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count and albumin were analyzed and the Noble/Underwood (NUn) score was calculated to evaluate their predictive value for postoperative anastomotic leakage. Diagnostic accuracy was measured by sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values using area under the receiver operator characteristics curve.ResultsOverall, 233 patients with transthoracic esophageal resection were analyzed, 30-day mortality in this group was 3.4%. 57 patients (24.5%) suffered from AL, 176 patients were in the AL negative group. We found significant differences in WBCC, CRP and NUn scores between patients with and without AL, but the analyzed markers did not show an independent relevant prognostic value. For CRP levels below 155 mg/dl from POD3 to POD 7 the negative predictive value for absence of AI was > 80%. Highest diagnostic accuracy was detected for CRP levels on 4th POD with a cut-off value of 145 mg/l reaching negative predictive value of 87%.ConclusionsIn contrast to their prognostic value in other surgical procedures, CRP, WBCC and NUn score cannot be recommended as independent markers for the prediction of anastomotic leakage after transthoracic esophageal resection. CRP is an accurate negative predictive marker and discrimination of AL and no-AL may be helpful for postoperative clinical management. Trial registration The study was approved by the local ethical committee (S635-2013).
