- AimReconstruction with an ileosigmoidal anastomosis (ISA) or ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) is a surgical option after a subtotal colectomy. Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a problematic complication and high rates have been reported, but there is limited understanding of the risk factors involved. The aim of this study was to assess the established and potential predictors of AL following ISA and IRA.MethodThis was a retrospective cohort study including all patients who had undergone ISA or IRA at three Swedish referral centres for colorectal surgery between January 2007 and March 2015. Data regarding clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome were collected from medical records. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the association between patient and treatment related factors and the cumulative incidence of AL.ResultsIn total, 227 patients were included. Overall, AL was detected amongst 30 patients (13.2%). Amongst patients undergoing colectomy with synchronous ISA or IRA (one‐stage procedure), AL occurred in 23 out of 120 (19.2%) compared with seven out of 107 (6.5%) after stoma reversal with ISA or IRA (two‐stage procedure) (P = 0.004). In addition, the multivariate analyses revealed a statistically significantly lower odds ratio for AL following a two‐stage procedure (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.03–0.41, P = 0.001).ConclusionsThis study confirms high rates of AL following ISA and IRA. In particular, a synchronous procedure with colectomy and ISA/IRA carries a high risk of AL.

- <i>Aims: </i>To investigate the pre-operative findings, accuracy, perforation rate and complication rate in 2,351 patients who underwent appendicectomy during 1986–1993. <i>Method: </i>The 2,351 records from patients who underwent surgery were analysed to determine whether the pre-operative investigations introduced can improve the diagnostic accuracy when analysed in total. <i>Results: </i>The total diagnostic accuracy which was 70.9% in 1986 increased to a statistically significant figure of 87.1% in 1993. In female patients, the figure increased from 61.7 to 82.4% and in males from 82.0 to 91.2% during the studied period. The complication rate was in total 10.4% including a mortality of 0.21% (5 patients). <i>Conclusion: </i>We believe that with a combination of increased interest in patients with acute appendicitis, a wider use of active in-hospital observation, a more standardised pre-operative laboratory investigation and the use of ultrasonography, a high diagnostic accuracy could be reached without an increased rate of complications and perforations.

- BackgroundPreoperative inflammation might cause and also be a marker for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer. Available biomarker indices such as the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) or the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) may be clinically useful for leakage assessment.MethodsPatients who underwent anterior resection for rectal cancer during 2014-2018 from a multicentre retrospective cohort were included. Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer registry and chart review at each hospital were collected. In a subset of patients, preoperative laboratory assessments were available, constituting the exposures mGPS and CAR. Anastomotic leakage within 12 months was the outcome. Causally oriented analyses were conducted with adjustment for confounding, as well as predictive models.ResultsA total of 418 patients were eligible for analysis. Most patients had mGPS = 0 (84.7%), while mGPS = 1 (10.8%) and mGPS = 2 (4.5%) were less common. mGPS = 2 (OR: 4.11; 95% CI: 1.69-10.03) seemed to confer anastomotic leakage, while this was not seen for mGPS = 1 (OR 1.09; 95% CI: 0.53-2.25). A cut off point of CAR > 0.36 might be indicative of leakage (OR 2.25; 95% CI: 1.21-4.19). Predictive modelling using mGPS rendered an area-under-the-curve of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.67-0.79) at most.DiscussionPreoperative inflammation seems to be involved in the development of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for cancer. Inclusion into prediction models did not result in accurate leakage prediction, but high degrees of systemic inflammation might still be important in clinical decision-making.
