Objective To explore the clinical effects of ileus tube in treatment of colonic obstruction caused by colorectal carcinoma. Methods Thirtytwo colorectal carcinoma patients with colonic obstruction admitted to our hospital from December 2005 to December 2008 were given onestage radical excision and anastomosis after transnasal or transanal placement of ileus tube for colonic decompression and drainage. Results Combined placement of transnasal and transanal ileus tube was successfully carried out in 19 cases, while the other 13 cases were treated only with transnasal ileus tube. Abdominal pain and distention of all cases were relieved 12-36 h after tube placement, while those of 26 cases disappeared 48-96 h later. Compared with before tube placement, abdominal circumferences of all cases were significantly reduced after tube placement, the mean reduction rate was (81.3±19.6)% vs. 100% (t=3.586, P=0.02). All cases were successfully treated by onestage radical excision and anastomosis 5-7 d after placement, and no serious complications such as peritoneal infection, anastomotic leakage etc. were found. Conclusion Preoperative intubation of ileus tube can enhance the therapeutic effects of onestage radical excision and anastomosis in patients with colorectal carcinoma combined with colonic obstruction.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of CRC patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria treated in the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications after the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ResultsAtotal of 170 eligible patients were included in this study, and the postoperative complications occurred in 45 patients, 24 of whom were severe complications. The univariate analysis results showed that the age (P<0.001), body mass index (BMI, P=0.047), age adjusted Charlson complication index (aCCI) score (P=0.002), American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (P<0.001), prognostic nutritional index (PNI, P=0.011), preoperative anemia (P=0.011), operation numbers of surgeon (P=0.003), and operation time (P=0.026) were related to the perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. The statistic indexes of univariate analysis (P<0.05) combined with indexes of clinical significance were included in the multivariate analysis, the results showed that the ASA classification Ⅲ– Ⅳ (OR=3.536, P=0.027), BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR=3.228, P=0.031), preoperative anemia (OR=2.876, P=0.049), operation numbers of surgeon <300 (OR=0.324, P=0.046), and the operation time ≥300 min (OR=3.480, P=0.020) increased the probability of perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that clinicians should pay attention to the perioperative management of patients with CRC, such as adequately evaluating the preoperative status of patients by ASA classification, PNI, and aCCI to adjust the malnutrition of patients; after operation, the patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and operation time more than 300 min should be paid more attention. At the same time, the surgeon should continuously accumulate the operation numbers and improve the operation proficiency so as to reduce the occurrence of perioperative severe complications after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC.
