Cytokines as Early Markers of Colorectal Anastomotic Leakage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose. Colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) is one of the most severe complications after colorectal surgery. This meta-analysis evaluates whether systemic or peritoneal inflammatory cytokines may contribute to early detection of CAL. Methods. Systematic literature search was performed in the acknowledged medical databases according to the PRISMA guidelines to identify studies evaluating systemic and peritoneal levels of TNF, IL-1?, IL-6, and IL-10 for early detection of CAL. Means and standard deviations of systemic and peritoneal cytokine levels were extracted, respectively, for patients with and without CAL. The meta-analysis of the mean differences was carried out for each postoperative day using Review Manager. Results. Seven articles were included. The meta-analysis was performed with 5 articles evaluating peritoneal cytokine levels. Peritoneal levels of IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with CAL compared to patients without CAL on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3 (P < 0.05). Similar results were found for peritoneal levels of TNF but on postoperative days 3, 4, and 5 (P < 0.05). The articles regarding systemic cytokine levels did not report any significant difference accordingly. Conclusion. Increased postoperative levels of peritoneal IL-6 and TNF are significantly associated with CAL and may contribute to its early detection.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) might help reduce anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery. This pilot study aims to analyze whether a relation exists between measured fluorescence intensity (FI) and postoperative inflammatory markers of AL, C-reactive protein (CRP), Intestinal fatty-acid binding protein (I-FABP), and calprotectin, to AL, in order to evaluate the potential of FI to objectively predict AL. METHODS:Patients scheduled for anastomotic colorectal cancer surgery were eligible for inclusion in this prospective pilot study. During surgery, at three time points (after bowel devascularization; before actual transection; after completion of anastomosis) a bolus of 0.2 mg/kg ICG was administered intravenously for assessment of bowel perfusion. FI was scored in scale from 1 to 5 based on the operating surgeon's judgment (1?=?no fluorescence visible, 5?=?maximum fluorescent signal). The complete surgical procedure was digitally recorded. These recordings were used to measure FI postoperatively using OsiriX imaging software. Serum CRP, I-FABP, and calprotectin values were determined before surgery and on day 1, 3, and 5 postoperative; furthermore, the occurrence of AL was recorded. RESULTS:Thirty patients (n?=?19 males; mean age 67 years; mean BMI 27.2) undergoing either laparoscopic or robotic anastomotic colorectal surgery were included. Indication for surgery was rectal-(n?=?10), rectosigmoid-(n?=?2), sigmoid-(n?=?10), or more proximal colon carcinomas (n?=?8). Five patients (16.7%) developed AL (n?=?2 (6.6%) grade C according to the definition of the International Study group of Rectal Cancer). In patients with AL, the maximum fluorescence score was given less often (P?=?0.02) and a lower FI compared to background FI was measured at 1st assessment (P?=?0.039). However, no relation between FI and postoperative inflammatory parameters could be found. CONCLUSION:Both subjective and measured FI seem to be related to AL. In this study, no relation between FI and inflammatory serum markers could yet be found.

Project description:BackgroundAnastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication after colorectal surgery. This study aimed to investigate a method for the early diagnosis of AL after surgical resection by analysing inflammatory factors (IFs) in peritoneal drainage fluid.MethodsAbdominal drainage fluid of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent resection between April 2017 and April 2018, were prospectively collected in the postoperative interval. Six IFs, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, and MMP9, in drainage were determined by multiplex immunoassay to investigate AL (in patients undergoing resection and anastomosis) and pelvic collection (in patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection). Sparreboom and colleagues' prediction model was first evaluated for AL/pelvic collection, followed by a new IF-based score system (AScore) that was developed by a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, for the same outcomes. The model performance was tested for the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV).ResultsOut of 123 patients eligible, 119 patients were selected, including 12 patients with AL/pelvic collection. Sparreboom and colleagues' prediction model was documented with the best diagnostic efficacy on postoperative day 3 (POD3), with an AUC of 0.77. After optimization, AScore on POD3 increased the AUC to 0.83 and on POD1 showed the best diagnostic efficiency, with an AUC of 0.88. Based on the Youden index, the cut-off value of AScore on POD1 was set as -2.46 to stratify patients into low-risk and high-risk groups for AL/pelvic collection. The model showed 90.0 per cent sensitivity, 69.7 per cent specificity, 98.4 per cent NPV, and 25.0 per cent PPV.ConclusionsThe early determination of IFs in abdominal drainage fluid of patients undergoing colorectal surgery could be useful to predict AL or pelvic collection.

Project description:BackgroundEndoluminal vacuum-assisted therapy (EVT) has been introduced recently to treat colorectal anastomotic leakage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVT in the treatment of anastomotic leakage and rectal stump insufficiency after Hartmann's procedure.MethodsA systematic search of MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane databases was performed using search terms related to EVT and anastomotic leakage or rectal stump insufficiency in line with the PRISMA checklist. Observational studies, RCTs and case series studies published to July 2017 were included. Primary outcomes of the review were the success of EVT, defined as complete or partial healing of the anastomotic defect and associated cavity, and the rate of stoma reversal after EVT. Secondary outcomes included the duration of treatment to complete healing, complications of treatment and the need for further intervention. A meta-analysis was conducted. The potential effect of clinical confounders on the failure of EVT was investigated using the random-effects meta-regression model.ResultsOf 476 articles identified, 17 studies reporting on 276 patients were ultimately included. The weighted mean rate of success was 85·3 (95 per cent c.i. 80·1 to 90·5) per cent, with a median duration from inception of EVT to complete healing of 47 (range 40-105) days. The weighted mean rate of stoma reversal across the studies was 75·9 (64·6 to 87·2) per cent. Twenty-five patients (9·1 per cent) required additional interventions after EVT. Thirty-eight patients (13·8 per cent) developed complications. The weighted mean complication rate across the studies was 11·1 (6·0 to 16·2) per cent. Variables significantly associated with failure included preoperative radiotherapy, absence of diverting stoma, complications and male sex.ConclusionEVT is associated with a high rate of complete healing of anastomotic leakage and stoma reversal. It is an effective option in appropriately selected patients with anastomotic leakage.
