- Aim: Studies have suggested that there is a difference in risk of local recurrence(LR) with circumferential resection margins (CRM) less than 1.0 mm. We aimed toexamine how exact resection margins affect LR risk.Method: Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry (SCRCR) were usedfor retrospective analysis of resected rectal cancers between 2005 and 2013. Primaryendpoint was LR.Results: 12146 cases were identified of which 8666 cases were analysed after exclusion. 388 cases had CRM < 1.0 mm and 8278 cases CRM ≥ 1.0 mm. There were 42LR (11.4%) when CRM < 1.0 mm and 280 LR (3.5%) when CRM ≥ 1.0 mm. LRrate was 17% (n = 27/159), 7.1% (n = 15/210), 5.5% (n = 26/473) and 3.4%(n = 254/7550) when CRM was 0.0 mm, 0.1–0.9 mm, 1.0–1.9 mm andCRM ≥ 2 mm respectively. LR risk at CRM 0.0 mm was significantly increased compared to all other groups. No significant difference in LR between CRM 1.0–1.9 mm and ≥ 2 mm was observed. LR was diagnosed earlier when CRM < 1.0 mm.Conclusion: LR risk is related with accuracy to the surgical circumferential resec-tion margin distance. There was no difference in LR risk above CRM 1.0 mm.Most LRs occurred within two years after surgery when CRM was below 1.0 mm

- Aim: To evaluate the long-term success rate of treatment with the Surgisis® (Biodesign®) anal fistula plug for complex anal fistulas, assess fistula plug failure over time and compare success rates for fistula plug between a group of patients with cryptoglandular fistula and another group with Crohn's fistula. Method: This is a single-centre study of consecutive patients treated with the Surgisis® (Biodesign®) anal fistula plug between May 2006 and October 2009. All patients had complex anal fistulas in need of surgical treatment. The patients were assessed preoperatively by physical examination and three-dimensional (3D) endoanal ultrasound, and treated with a loose seton. Postoperative assessment by clinical examination and 3D endoanal ultrasound was performed at 2 weeks, 3 months and 6–12 months. Long-term follow-up was carried out in 2017 using a questionnaire, and clinical examination combined with 3D endoanal ultrasound was performed if the questionnaire indicated any signs of fistula recurrence. Results: A total of 95 patients were included; 30 had quiescent Crohn's disease. Overall, 151 plug procedures were performed. Long-term follow-up was undertaken in 90 (95%) patients; the results showed that after a median period of 110 months, the overall healing rate after one to five plug procedures was 38%. No statistically significant difference in success rate was found between the cryptoglandular fistula group and the Crohn's fistula group (P = 0.37). No further healing was observed after the use of three plugs. Conclusion: Considering its low morbidity in a complex disease with high recurrence rates over time, the anal fistula plug may still be considered as one of the first-line treatments for patients with complex anal fistulas.

- Background. Optimal treatment for low rectal cancer is total mesorectal excision, with most patients suitable for low colo-rectal or colo-anal anastomosis. A colon pouch has early functional benefits, although long-term function, especially evacuation, might mitigate against its routine use. The aim of this study was to assess evacuation and continence in patients with a colon pouch, and to examine the impact of possible risk factors. Methods. In 1998, all 102 surviving patients with a colon pouch, whose stoma had been closed for more than one year, were sent a postal questionnaire. A composite incontinence score was calculated from questions on urgency, use of a pad, incontinence of gas, liquid or faeces, and a composite evacuation score from questions on medication taken to evacuate, straining, the need and number of times returned to evacuate. Results. The response rate was 90% (50 M, 42 F), with a median age of 68 years (IQR 60-78) and median follow-up of 2.6 years (IQR 1.7-3.9). The anastomosis was 3 cm or less from the anus in 45/92 (49%), and incontinence scores were worse in this group (P = 0.001). There were significantly higher incontinence scores in females (P = 0.014). Age, preoperative radiotherapy, part of colon used for anastomosis, post-operative leak and length of follow-up had no demonstrable effect on either score. Conclusion. Gender and anastomotic height were the only variables which influenced incontinence. Ninety percent of patients reported that their bowel function did not affect their overall wellbeing, and none would have preferred to have a stoma.

- Objective All treatment in Crohn's disease, although palliative, aims at restoring full health. The objective of this study was to compare health-related quality of life and psychosocial conditions in patients with Crohn's proctocolitis with a general population.Patients and methods One hundred and twenty-seven patients with Crohn's proctocolitis (median age 44 years, 44.1% men) were compared with 266 controls (median age 45 years, 50.7% men). A questionnaire consisting of the Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWB) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) evaluating general health as well as questions regarding psychosocial conditions was used. Disease activity was evaluated by Best's modification of the classical Crohn's Disease Activity Index.Results Patients in remission had a health related quality of life similar to controls according to the SF-36 apart from general health where scores were lower (P < 0.01). Patients with active disease scored lower in all aspects of the SF-36 (P < 0.001 or P < 0.0001) as well as the PGWB (P < 0.0001). In a model for multiple regression including age, gender, concomitant small bowel disease, permanent stoma, previous colonic surgery, disease activity, duration, and aggressiveness, disease activity was the only variable negatively predicting all 8 domains of the SF-36 in the patient group (P < 0.001). The mean annual sick-leave for patients and controls were 33.9 and 9.5 days (P < 0.0001), respectively. Sixty-eight percent of the patients and 78.4% of the controls (P = 0.04) were married or cohabited, 67.7% and 78.0% (P = 0.04), respectively, had children.Conclusion The health related quality of life for patients with Crohn's proctocolitis in remission does not differ from the general population. The disease has, however, a negative impact on parenthood, family life and professional performance.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: Bridge to surgery (BtS) aims to decrease perioperative morbidity and mortality in emergency resection (ER) of the colon. Previous results are inconsistent, and long-term comparisons are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of BtS and ER. Method: This retrospective study examined data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry for patients treated for acute malignant large bowel obstruction from 2007 to 2009. Patients were grouped by treatment strategy: BtS (using a self-expanding metallic stent or diverting stoma) or ER. Medical records were scrutinized for all patients in the BtS group. The primary endpoints were 5-year overall survival (OS) and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). The secondary endpoints were postoperative mortality and morbidity rates and stoma permanence. Results: Overall, 143 patients were treated using BtS versus 1302 patients treated with ER. The 5-year OS was higher in the BtS group than in the ER group (53.8% vs. 37.4%; p < 0.05). No difference was noted in the 3-year RFS (75.7% vs. 75.0%; p = 0.38). The postoperative mortality rate was lower in the BtS group than in the ER group (0.7% vs. 7.3%; p < 0.05). Complications occurred in 46.9% of patients in the BtS group (both procedures) versus 35.9% of patients in the ER group (p < 0.05); the rate of severe complications was 23.1% and 16.9%, respectively (p = 0.07). Conclusion: This retrospective population-based registry study showed higher long-term survival and lower postoperative mortality rates among patients treated with BtS versus ER for acute malignant large bowel obstruction.

- Aim: Extralevator abdominoperineal excision (APE) for low rectal tumours has been introduced to achieve improved local radicality. Fewer positive margins and intraoperative perforations have been reported compared with standard APE. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare short-term complications and results of the two techniques in our institution. Method: Consecutive patients with rectal cancer undergoing abdominoperineal excision between 2004 and 2009 were included. They were divided into two group of 79 patients in extralevator and standard APE. Patients with recurrence and those having a palliative procedure were excluded. Data were collected from hospital records and the colorectal cancer registry. Main endpointgs were wound infection, perineal wound revision, oncologic data and length of hospital stay. Results: CRM positivity did not differ significantly between groups (17%extralevator; 20% standard APE). Intraoperative perforation (13 vs. 10%) or local recurrence (7 in each group) were no different. Perineal wound infection was more common after extralevator APE (46 vs. 28%,p<0.05) as was perineal wound revision (22 vs.8% p<0.05). Hospital stay was longer after extralevator APE (median 12 vs. 11 days,p<0.05). Tumour height (median 4 cm) and pTNM-classification did not differ. Conclusion: The results do not show any advantage for extralevator APE. The oncologic data were no better and postoperative morbidity was increased. Further studies are needed before extralevator APE is widely adopted in clinical practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: The standard treatment for anal cancer is chemoradiotherapy. Most patients survive anal cancer but remain living with long-term side effects related to the treatment received. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of long-term impairment of urinary and sexual function at 3 and 6 years after diagnosis and to investigate the additive effect from chemotherapy in combined chemoradiotherapy on urinary incontinence, compared to radiotherapy alone. Method: The ANal CAncer study (ANCA) is based on a national Swedish cohort of patients diagnosed with anal cancer between 2011 and 2013. All identified patients within the study were invited to respond to a study-specific questionnaire at 3 and 6 years. Descriptive analyses for the primary endpoint were performed. To investigate a possible additional effect from chemotherapy logistic regression was used. Results: A total of 388 patients were included in the study. At 3 years 264 patients were alive and invited to respond to an anal cancer specific questionnaire. The 3- and 6 year response rates were 195 (74%) and 155 patients (67%), respectively. The patient reported urinary function impairment at 3 years were urgency (63%), incomplete bladder emptying (47%), and incontinence (46%) and there was an absolute increase of the prevalence of urinary dysfunction in about 10% at 6 years. Three years after diagnosis, 77% reported that intercourse was not part of their sex life; this percentage increased at 6 years to 83%. We found no negative effect of chemotherapy in combined chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone on patient reported urinary incontinence. Conclusion: For anal cancer survivors, urinary function was impaired after 3 years and continued to deteriorate as measured at 6 years after diagnosis. Anal cancer and its treatment negatively affected sexual function for both men and women. This may explain why patients reported that sexual activity and frequency of intercourse was not of importance in their life.

- AimThe primary therapeutic option for anal cancer treatment is chemoradiotherapy resulting in 80% survival. The aim of this study was to assess long-term bowel function impairment and anal pain at 3 and 6 years after anal cancer diagnosis, based on a hypothesis of an increase in impairment over time. A secondary aim was to investigate if chemoradiotherapy increased the risk for bowel impairment, compared to radiotherapy alone.MethodThe ANal CAncer study (ANCA) consists of a national Swedish cohort of patients diagnosed with anal cancer between 2011-2013. Patients within the study were invited to respond to a study-specific questionnaire at 3- and 6-years after diagnosis. Descriptive analyses for the primary endpoint and ordinal logistic regressions for secondary endpoint were performed.ResultsA total of 388 patients (84%) were included in the study. At 3 years of follow-up, 264 patients were alive. A total of 195 of these patients (74%) answered a study specific questionnaire, and at 6 years 154 patients (67%). Fifty-seven percent experienced bowel urgency at both 3 and 6 years. There was an increased risk for repeated bowel movement within 1 h (OR 2.44 [95% CI: 1.08-5.61, p = 0.03]) at 3 years in patients who had been treated by chemoradiation compared to radiotherapy alone.ConclusionsImpairment in bowel function and anal pain after anal cancer treatment should be expected and remains after 6 years. This suggests that long-term follow-up may be necessary in some form after customary follow-up. The addition of chemotherapy increases long-term side effects of bowel function.

- AIM: Routine colonoscopy to exclude colorectal cancer (CRC) after CT-verified acute diverticulitis is controversial. This study aimed to compare the incidence of CRC in acute diverticulitis patients with that in the general population. METHOD: Patients with an emergency admission for diverticular disease, to any Norwegian hospital, between January 1st , 2008 and December 31st , 2010 were included through identification in the Norwegian Patient Registry using International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes K57.1-9. To estimate the age-specific distribution of CT-verified acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) and acute complicated diverticulitis (ACD) in this nationwide study population, numbers from the largest Norwegian emergency hospital were used. Patients diagnosed with CRC within one year following the admission for acute diverticulitis were detected through cross-matching with the Cancer Registry of Norway. Based on both Norwegian age-specific incidence of CRC and estimated age-specific distribution of CT-verified diverticulitis, standard morbidity ratios (SMR) were calculated.RESULTS: A total of 7473 patients with emergency admissions for diverticular disease were identified (estimated CT-verified AUD n=3523, ACD n=1206), and of these 155 patients were diagnosed with CRC within one year. Eighty had a CT-verified diverticulitis at index admission (41 AUD; 51.3% and 39 ACD; 49.7%). Compared to the general population SMR was 6.6 following CT-verified AUD and 16.3 following ACD respectively.CONCLUSION: The risk of CRC is higher than in the general population, the first year after CT-verified acute diverticulitis, especially after ACD. This likely represents misdiagnosis of CRC as acute diverticulitis. Follow-up colonoscopy should be recommended to all patients admitted with acute diverticulitis.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- INTRODUCTION: The mainstay of management for locally advanced rectal cancer is chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection. Following chemoradiotherapy, a complete response may be detected clinically and radiologically (cCR) prior to surgery or pathologically after surgery (pCR). We aim to report the overall complete pathological response (pCR) rate and the reliability of detecting a cCR by conventional pre-operative imaging.METHODS: A pre-planned analysis of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) 2017 audit was performed. Patients treated by elective rectal resection were included. A pCR was defined as a ypT0 N0 EMVI negative primary tumour; a partial response represented any regression from baseline staging following chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint was the pCR rate. The secondary endpoint was agreement between post-treatment MRI restaging (yMRI) and final pathological staging.RESULTS: Of 2572 patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery in 277 participating centres across 44 countries, 673 (26.2%) underwent chemoradiotherapy and surgery. The pCR rate was 10.3% (67/649), with a partial response in 35.9% (233/649) patients. Comparison of AJCC stage determined by post-treatment yMRI with final pathology showed understaging in 13% (55/429) and overstaging in 34% (148/429). Agreement between yMRI and final pathology for T-stage, N-stage, or AJCC status were each graded as 'fair' only (n = 429, Kappa 0.25, 0.26 and 0.35 respectively).CONCLUSION: The reported pCR rate of 10% highlights the potential for non-operative management in selected cases. The limited strength of agreement between basic conventional post-chemoradiotherapy imaging assessment techniques and pathology suggest alternative markers of response should be considered, in the context of controlled clinical trials.

- OBJECTIVE: Failure after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is reported with a frequency of 10-20%. The failed IPAA can be excised or defunctioned. Indications for excision and further management of an indefinitely diverted pouch are poorly described. The aim of the present investigation was to investigate pouch-related problems and the histopathological pattern of the pouch mucosa in this group of patients. METHOD: In a cohort of 620 patients having IPAA with a median follow-up of 14 years, 56 patients with failure were identified. The patients with defunctioned pouches were assessed with regard to pouch-related problems and endoscopy with biopsies was performed. Biopsies were stained with haematoxylin-eosin, PAS for neutral mucins and Alcian blue/high iron diamine for sialomucins/sulphomucins. Morphological changes were grouped into three types modified according to Veress and assessed for dysplasia. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients with an indefinitely diverted pouch were found. The follow-up time after surgery for failure was 10 years. Thirteen patients completed the follow-up. Except for two patients with pelvic/perineal pain, there were no clinical problems. The majority of patients displayed mild to moderate macroscopic signs of inflammation. Morphologically, findings ranged from a preserved mucosal pattern to intense inflammatory reaction. No case of dysplasia or carcinoma was found. CONCLUSION: Most patients with an indefinitely diverted pouch had no complaints regarding the pouch. There was no case of dysplasia. Indefinite diversion may be preferable to pouch excision, especially given the associated morbidity.

- Aim Ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA) is an option to restore bowel continuity after colectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Concerns that the remaining rectum may serve as a site for continuing proctitis with subsequent poor function and IRA failure and the fear of development of dysplasia and cancer have led to the abandonment of IRA in large parts of the world. This study investigated the outcome of IRA in a large patient cohort with UC and IRA with regard to failure of IRA and development of dysplasia and cancer. Methods This was a retrospective data gathering of patients with UC and IRA enrolled at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Surgical Clinic, Sahlgrenska University Hospital/ostra, Gothenburg, 1972-2019. End-points were IRA failure, rectal dysplasia and cancer. IRA survival analysis and the cumulative probability of rectal cancer were calculated. Results In total, 183 patients (121 men) were included in the study. The IRA failure rate was 34% and the estimated cumulative IRA failure rates were 25% and 35% at 5 and 10 years respectively. Four patients developed rectal cancer and the estimated cumulative probability of rectal cancer was 3% and 6% at 10 and 15 years respectively. Conclusion Ileo-rectal anastomosis remains a restorative option after colectomy for UC, even if the failure rate raises some concern. Further knowledge is needed for optimal patient selection to avoid early IRA failures. With increasing probability of rectal cancer over time a vigilant surveillance protocol is mandatory.

- Aim Mortality and complication rates after surgery for colon cancer are high, especially after emergency procedures. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the importance of the formal competence of surgeons for survival and morbidity. Method The Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry prospectively records data on patients diagnosed with cancer within the colon and rectum. A cohort of patients operated on for colon cancer between 2007 and 2010 were followed 5 years after surgery. Data on postoperative morbidity, mortality and long-term survival were compared with regard to formal competency of the most senior surgeon attending the procedure. Results This analysis includes 13 365 patients operated on for colon cancer, including 10 434 elective procedures and 2931 emergency cases. The overall 5-year survival was higher for those operated on by subspecialist colorectal surgeons compared with general surgeons (60% vs 48%; P < 0.001). Five-year survival after elective surgery was 63% vs 55% (P < 0.001) and 35% vs 31% (P < 0.05) after emergency procedures when performed by colorectal surgeons compared with general surgeons. Postoperative 30-day mortality was 3% after surgery performed by colorectal surgeons compared with 7% when performed by general surgeons. Mortality at 90 days was 6% after surgery performed by colorectal surgeons compared with 11% for patients operated on by general surgeons (P < 0.001). Conclusion Subspecialization in colorectal surgery is associated with better outcome for patients operated on for colon cancer, and effort should be made to increase the availability of colorectal surgeons for both acute and elective colon cancer surgery.

- Aim Temporary faecal diversion after ileocolic resection (ICR) for Crohns disease reduces postoperative anastomotic complications in high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to assess if this approach also reduces long-term surgical recurrence. Method This was a multicentre retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases. Patient demographics, medical and surgical details were collected by three specialist centres. All patients had undergone an ICR between 2000 and 2012. The primary end-point was surgical recurrence. Results Three hundred and twelve patients (80%) underwent an ICR without covering ileostomy (one stage). Seventy-seven (20%) had undergone an ICR with end ileostomy/double-barrel ileostomy/enterocolostomy followed by closure (two stage). The median follow-up was 105 months [interquartile range (IQR) 76-136 months]. The median time to ileostomy closure was 9 months (IQR 5-12 months). There was no significant difference in surgical recurrence between the one- and two-stage groups (18% vs 16%, P = 0.94). We noted that smokers (20% vs 34%, P = 0.01) and patients with penetrating disease (28% vs 52%, P amp;lt; 0.01) were more likely to be defunctioned. A reduced recurrence rate was observed in the small high-risk group of patients who were smokers with penetrating disease behaviour treated with a two-stage strategy (0/10 vs 4/7, P = 0.12). Conclusion Despite having higher baseline risk factors, the results in terms of rate of surgical recurrence over 9 years are similar for patients having a two-stage compared with a one-stage procedure.

- Aim: Controversy still exists as to whether division of the inferior mesenteric artery close to the aorta influences the risk of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer. This population-based study was carried out to evaluate the independent association between high arterial ligation and anastomotic leakage in patients with increased cardiovascular risk.Method: All 2673 cases of registered anterior resection for rectal cancer from 2007 to 2010 were identified from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry and cross-referenced with the Prescribed Drugs Registry, rendering a cohort of all patients with increased cardiovascular risk. Operative charts and registered data were reviewed for 722 patients. The association between high tie and anastomotic leakage, as quantified by ORs and 95% CIs, was evaluated in a logistic regression model, with adjustment for confounding, including assessment of interaction.Results: Symptomatic anastomotic leakage occurred in 12.3% (41/334) of patients in the high tie group and in 10.6% (41/388) in the low tie group. The use of high tie was not independently associated with a higher risk of anastomotic leakage (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 0.61–1.84). In a post-hoc analysis, patients with a history of manifest cardiovascular disease and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score III–IV seemed to be at greater risk (OR = 3.66; 95% CI: 1.04–12.85).Conclusion: In the present population-based, observational setting, high tie was not independently associated with an increased risk of symptomatic anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer. However, this conclusion may not hold for patients with severe cardiovascular disease.

- AIM: The aim of this study was to identify surgeon and hospital-related factors in a well-defined population-based cohort; the results of this study could possibly be used to improve outcome in colorectal cancer.METHOD: Data from the colonic (1997-2006) and rectal (1995-2006) cancer registers of the Uppsala/Örebro Regional Oncology Centre were used to assess 1697 patients with rectal and 2692 with colonic cancer. Putative risk factors and their impact on long-term survival were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard model.RESULTS: The degree of specialization of the operating surgeon had no significant effect on long-term survival. When comparing the surgeons with the highest degree of specialization, noncolorectal surgeons demonstrated a slightly lower long-term survival for rectal cancer stage I and II (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.05-3.92). Surgeons with a high case-load were not associated with better survival in any analysis model. Regional hospitals had a lower survival rate for rectal cancer stage III surgery (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.08-2.00).CONCLUSION: Degree of specialization, surgeon case-load and hospital category could not be identified as important factors when determining outcome in colorectal cancer surgery in this study.

- INTRODUCTION: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has rapidly emerged as a novel approach for rectal cancer surgery. Safety profiles are still emerging and more comparative data is urgently needed. This study aimed to compare indications and short-term outcomes of TaTME, open, laparoscopic, and robotic TME internationally.METHODS: A pre-planned analysis of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) 2017 audit was performed. Patients undergoing elective total mesorectal excision (TME) for malignancy between 1 January 2017 and 15 March 2017 by any operative approach were included. The primary outcome measure was anastomotic leak.RESULTS: Of 2579 included patients, 76.2% (1966/2579) underwent TME with restorative anastomosis of which 19.9% (312/1966) had a minimally invasive approach (laparoscopic or robotic) which included a transanal component (TaTME). Overall, 9.0% (175/1951, 15 missing outcome data) of patients suffered an anastomotic leak. On univariate analysis both laparoscopic TaTME (OR 1.61, 1.02-2.48, P = 0.04) and robotic TaTME (OR 3.05, 1.10-7.34, P = 0.02) were associated with a higher risk of anastomotic leak than non-transanal laparoscopic TME. However this association was lost in the mixed-effects model controlling for patient and disease factors (OR 1.23, 0.77-1.97, P = 0.39 and OR 2.11, 0.79-5.62, P = 0.14 respectively), whilst low rectal anastomosis (OR 2.72, 1.55-4.77, P < 0.001) and male gender (OR 2.29, 1.52-3.44, P < 0.001) remained strongly associated. The overall positive circumferential margin resection rate was 4.0%, which varied between operative approaches: laparoscopic 3.2%, transanal 3.8%, open 4.7%, robotic 1%.CONCLUSION: This contemporaneous international snapshot shows that uptake of the TaTME approach is widespread and is associated with surgically and pathologically acceptable results.

- Aim: Tumour stage is the most important prognostic factor in colon cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the impact on the quality of pathology by the use of a standardized PAD protocol. Method: A standardized PAD protocol for colorectal cancer was developed and all patients subjected to colon resection due to adenocarcinomas between 2004 and 2006 were analyzed concerning lymph node status, circumferential resection margin (CRM), intravascular and perineural growth. Moreover, usage of the PAD protocol and whether a pathologist or biomedicine analytic technician (BMA) performed the lymph node dissection was noted and also if the surgical procedure was elective or acute. Results: During the study period 302 colon resections were carried out. The standard protocol was employed in 68% of the cases varying from 0-100% between pathologists. The median number of investigated lymph nodes was 16 ± 11. When the lymph node dissection was performed by a BMA, significantly more lymph nodes were examined; 22 ± 15 and 14 ± 9 respectively (p<0.01). There was a positive correlation between application of the standard protocol and the number of analyzed lymph nodes (<0.05). Comments on CRM, perineural growth and intravascular growth were also significantly more frequent when the protocol was used. Emergency surgery did not influence the handling of the specimens. Conclusion: Minor efforts in terms of a standard protocol for pathology and specimen dissection by BMAs, leading to an increased quality of the PAD-report may also improve long term outcome for patients.

The risk of dysplasia and cancer in the ileal pouch mucosa after restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative proctocolitis is low: a long-term term follow-up study
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Colorectal disease. - 1462-8910. ; 6:6, s. 494-8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- AIM: Some of the rare complications reported in patients with an ileopouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) after coloectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis are dysplasia and carcinoma. The supposed pathway is for the ileal pouch mucosa to go through adaptational changes then is to progress through the phases of chronic pouchitis, dysplasia and subsequently to adenocarcinoma. In many of these studies however, the dysplasia-cancer sequence is inconclusive since the carcinoma might have developed from the ileal mucosa itself or from residual viable rectal mucosa left behind. The purpose of this study was therefore to study the long-term ileal mucosal adaptation patterns and the incidence and grading of dysplasia in the ileal pouch mucosa in patients previously operated on for ulcerative proctocolitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients who had been operated on with an IPAA (25 males/20 females), with a median age of 54 years (range 34-76), were invited for clinical examination and pouch endoscopy including mucosal biopsies. The duration of their colitis until surgery was median 6 years (range 1-28) and the time median interval from start of disease until time of follow up 24.8 years (range 17-46). Three independent pathologists from two different centres reviewed sequential mucosal biopsies taken from separate sites of the pouch for dysplasia and mucosal adaptation patterns. RESULTS: The type C pattern with a severe inflammation in lamina propria together with severe atrophy of villi, sometimes with ulceration and granulation tissue, was observed by the two pathologists from one centre in 15 of 45 (33.3%) patients and in 11 (24.4%) of 45 by the third pathologist, respectively. As regards dysplasia one pathologist group evaluated 2/45 (4.4%) cases as low-grade dysplasia while the third pathologist considered one of these cases as indefinite for dysplasia and one as reactive. There was in this respect full agreement between the two centres in 43 (95.6%) of 45 cases. Neither high-grade dysplasia nor invasive carcinoma was diagnosed. CONCLUSION: Dysplastic transformation within the ileal pouch mucosa in patients operated for ulcerative proctocolitis is rare even after a long follow-up. These results are reassuring for both patients and surgeons. There seem to be no solid grounds to support routine surveillance for dysplasia in the ileal pouch mucosa in these patients. The surveillance for neoplastic changes in the remaining muscular/epithelial cuff is a separate issue however.

- Aim: Perineal wound sepsis is a common problem after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum (APR), with an reported incidence of 10-15% in previously non-radiated patients, 20-30% in patients given preoperative radiation, and 50% among patients submitted to preoperative radiation combined with chemotherapy. The local application of gentamicin-collagen was evaluated to determine whether its use in the perineal wound reduced the risk complications and had an effect on cancer recurrence.Method: In this prospective multicentre (7 hospitals) randomised controlled trial, 102 patients undergoing APR due to cancer or benign disease were randomised into two groups including surgery with gentamicin-collagen (GS+ n=52), or surgery without gentamicin-collagen (GS- n=50), Patients were followed at 7, 30 and 90 days and at one and five years.Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding perineal wound complications, infectious or non-infectious or cancer recurrence.Conclusion: There was no statistically significant effect on perineal wound complications or cancer recurrence following the local administration of gentamicin-collagen during APR.

- An international working party was convened in Rome, Italy on 16–17 June, 2005, with the purpose of developing a consensus on the application of the circular stapling instrument to the treatment of certain rectal conditions, the so-called Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection (STARR). Since the procedure has been submitted to only limited objective analysis it was felt prudent to hold a meeting of interested individuals for the purpose of evaluating the current status and to make conclusions and recommendations concerning the applicability of this new approach.

- Aim: The impact of construction techniques on the development of stoma complications is partly undiscovered. The aim of this paper was to report and analyse the impact of the three surgical techniques in a randomized controlled trial Stoma-Const on stoma-related complications as well as identifying risk factors and patient-reported stoma function as a planned secondary analysis. Methods: This was a randomized, multicenter trial where all patients scheduled to receive an end colostomy were invited to participate. Patients were randomized to one of three techniques for stoma construction; cruciate fascial incision, circular incision or prophylactic mesh. Stoma complications were assessed by a surgeon and stoma care nurses within 1 year postoperatively. Results: Two hundred and nine patients were randomized. Patient demographics were similar in all three groups. Data on stoma-related complications were available for analysis in 201 patients. A total of 127 patients (63%) developed some type of stoma complication within 1 year after surgery. The risk ratio (95% CI) for stoma complications was 0.93 (0.73; 1.2) between cruciate vs. circular incision groups and 1.02 (0.78; 1.34) between cruciate vs. mesh groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding parastomal hernia rate and no risk factors could be identified. Conclusion: This randomized trial confirmed a high prevalence of stoma-related complications but could not identify an impact of surgical technique or identify modifiable risk factors for stoma-related complications.

- Aim: The primary aim was to compare the 30-day morbidity and mortality in patients aged ≥80 years undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer with those aged <80 years. The secondary aim was to identify independent outcome predictors. Method: This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer between January 2007 and February 2018. Patients were divided into those <80 years and those ≥80 years at the time of surgery. Data had been collected prospectively by the Australasian Binational Colorectal Cancer Audit and included patient demographics, site and stage of tumour, comorbidity, operative details, American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA), pathological staging, 30-day mortality and morbidity (medical and surgical). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify predictors of 30-day morbidity and mortality. Results: During the study period, 4600 out of 20 463 (22.5%) patients were ≥80 years. They had a greater 30-day mortality after both colonic (97/2975 [3.3%] vs. 66/7010 [0.9%], P < 0.001) and rectal resections (50/1625 [3.1%] vs. 36/9006 [0.4%], P < 0.001) compared with younger patients. They also had an increased length of stay (colon cancer, 9 vs. 7 days; rectal cancer, 10 vs. 8 days; P < 0.001) and medical complications (colon cancer, 23.5% vs. 12.7%; rectal cancer, 25.2% vs. 11.2%; P < 0.001). Surgical complications were equivalent. Age ≥80 years was not an independent predictor of 30-day morbidity or mortality. Patients ≥80 years who were ASA 2/3 and had rectal cancer seemed to fare worse in terms of 30-day mortality (ASA 2, 22%, 95% CI 9%–36%, P < 0.001; ASA 3, 11%, 95% CI 4%–19%, P< 0.001). Conclusions: Postoperative morbidity and mortality are significantly greater in patients ≥80 years undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. Any recommendation for surgery in this age group should take into account patient comorbidity and not be based on age alone.

Ingår i: Colorectal disease. - 1462-8910. ; 6:3, s. 171-5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the diverticular disease (DD) on function and on postoperative complications of the colonic J-pouch (CJP) with pouch-anal anastomosis. METHODS: Patients who underwent a CJP between December 1990 and August 2001, were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of DD in the CJP was assessed on pouchogram prior to ileostomy closure. A questionnaire designed to evaluate the degree of continence (total incontinence score (IS): 0 = worst, 20 = best) and pouch evacuation (total evacuation score (ES): 0 = worst, 28 = best) was used for comparison between patients with DD and those without DD (NDD). RESULTS: Sixty-six patients (47 males; 19 females) with a median age of 68 years (range 28-87 years) were included. The median follow-up period was 22 months (range 2-106 months). Twenty-four patients comprised the DD group and 42 were in the NDD group. The two groups were comparable for age, gender and time from ileostomy closure; all patients with postoperative chemoradiation therapy were in the NDD group. The total ES and IS total did not significantly differ between the two groups with a P-value of 0.11 and 0.09 respectively. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the total incidence of pouch complications between the two groups (3 strictures, 1 leak, 1 fistula in the NDD group vs. 1 pelvic sepsis in the DD group; P = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of DD in a CJP does not seem to impact pouch function or the postoperative complication rate.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: The preoperative stage of rectal cancer is an important prognostic factor affecting treatment recommendations. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for clinical staging to identify patients who should be recommended for neoadjuvant oncological treatment. The aim of this work was to investigate the accuracy of the preoperative T- and N-stage and also involvement of the mesorectal fascia (MRF) as determined by MRI in a Swedish national cohort. Method: Patients who had undergone resectional surgery for rectal cancer without neoadjuvant treatment in Sweden in the period 2013–2017 were identified through the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry (n = 2062). The T- and N-stage determined by preoperative MRI were compared with the histopathological results. The MRI-assessed MRF status was compared with the circumferential resection margin. Results: Sensitivity for differentiating T1-2 from T3-4 was 69% and specificity 77%. Sensitivity to detect N1-2 was 42% and specificity 81%. Sensitivity for MRF positivity was 50% and specificity 92%. Agreement analysed by weighted kappa analysis was 0.47 for T-stage [confidence interval (CI) 0.44–0.51], 0.24 for N-stage (CI 0.19–0.24) and 0.20 for MRF status (CI 0.12–0.29). Conclusion: In this study, accuracy of the preoperative MRI was lower than expected for rectal cancers. Overstaging might lead to potentially harmful neoadjuvant treatment and understaging can lead to a higher risk of tumour recurrence. The results of this study show that efforts should be made to increase the accuracy of the preoperative evaluation in order to optimize treatment recommendations.

- Aim The aim of this work was to compare the 5-year overall survival in a national cohort of patients undergoing curative abdominal resection for rectal cancer by laparoscopic (LAP) or open (OPEN) surgery. Method All patients diagnosed with clinical Stage I-III rectal cancer and who underwent LAP or OPEN abdominal curative surgery in Sweden between 2010 and 2016 were retrieved from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. A noninferiority study design was employed with a statistical power of 90%, a one-side type I error of 2.5% and a noninferiority margin of 2%. The analyses were performed as intention-to-treat and the relationship between surgical technique and overall mortality within 5 years was analysed. Multilevel regression models with the patients matched by propensity scores adjusted for patient- and tumour-related variables were used. Results A total of 8410 Stage I-III cancer patients were included. This group underwent 2094 LAP (24.9%) and 6316 OPEN (75.1%) procedures and were followed until 31 December 2020. Multivariable Cox regression demonstrated that 5-year overall survival was higher in the LAP group [hazard ratio (HR) 0.877; 95% CI 0.877-0.993]. The outcome was similar when multiple imputation and propensity score matching were employed. When cT4 patients were excluded there was no difference (HR 0.885; 95% CI 0.790-1.033). At 5-years' follow-up local recurrence was not different, at 2.9% for the LAP group and 3.6% for the OPEN group (p = 0.075), while metastatic disease was more frequent in the OPEN group (19.6% compared with 15.6% for LAP; p < 0.001). Conclusion This study demonstrated that the LAP technique was not inferior to OPEN surgery with regard to overall 5-year survival. These results support the use of laparoscopic surgery.

- AimThe study aimed to compare 5-year overall survival in a national cohort of patients undergoing curative abdominal resection for colon cancer by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or by the open (OPEN) technique. MethodsAll patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2016 in Sweden with pathological Union International Contre le Cancer Stages I-III colon cancer localized in the caecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure or sigmoid colon and those who underwent curative right sided hemicolectomy, sigmoid resection or high anterior resection by MIS or OPEN were included. Patients were identified in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry from which all data were retrieved. The analyses were performed as intention-to-treat and the relationship between surgical technique (MIS or OPEN) and overall mortality within 5 years was analysed. For the primary research question a non-inferiority hypothesis was assumed with a statistical power of 90%, a one-side type I error of 2.5% and a non-inferiority margin of 2%. For the secondary analyses, multilevel survival regression models with the patients matched by propensity scores were employed, adjusted for patient- and tumour-related variables. ResultsA total of 11 605 pathological Union International Contre le Cancer Stages I-III patients were included with 3297 MIS (28.4%) and 8308 OPEN (71.6%) and were followed until 31 December 2020. The primary analysis demonstrated superiority for MIS compared to OPEN. The multilevel survival regression analyses confirmed that 5-year overall survival was higher in MIS with a hazard ratio of 0.874 (95% confidence interval 0.791-0.965), and if excluding pT4 the outcome was similar, with a hazard ratio of 0.847 (95% confidence interval 0.756-0.948). ConclusionThis observational study demonstrated that MIS was favourable to OPEN with regard to 5-year overall survival. These results support the use of laparoscopic colon cancer surgery in routine practice.

- Aim The continent ileostomy allows evacuation of an ileal reservoir at a time convenient to the patient. It is a surgical option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) when a restorative option is not suitable or has not succeeded and the patient does not want a conventional end ileostomy. Continent ileostomy types include the Kock pouch, Barnett continent intestinal reservoir and T-pouch. All of the published evidence on the long-term outcome and quality of life after continent ileostomy for UC was systematically reviewed. Methods A systematic review was performed in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies published between 1990 and 2020 were included. A descriptive synthesis was used due to the clinical heterogeneity. Results The search returned 1655 abstracts and after screening of abstracts and full text review, 19 were included in the final review, involving 1602 patients. Operative mortality is low (0%-3.6%) after all types of continent ileostomy but reoperation rates are high (20.8%-65%) because of valve mechanism failures. Rates of fistulae (0%-25.5%) and stomal stenosis (0%-25%) can be relatively high postoperatively. Quality of life scores improve for most patients undergoing continent ileostomy, especially for patients converted from ileal pouch anal anastomosis. Overall, continent ileostomy retention is high in the long-term. Discussion In the long-term, patients report high satisfaction and a good quality of life with continent ileostomy, despite high reoperation rates and complications. Newer technologies may reinvigorate interest in the continent ileostomy for this population.

- AimPreclinical studies have suggested that nitinol-based compression anastomosis might be a viable solution to anastomotic leak following low anterior resection. A prospective multicentre open label study was therefore designed to evaluate the performance of the ColonRing in (low) colorectal anastomosis. MethodThe primary outcome measure was anastomotic leakage. Patients were recruited at 13 different colorectal surgical units in Europe, the United States and Israel. Institutional review board approval was obtained. ResultsBetween 21 March 2010 and 3 August 2011, 266 patients completed the study protocol. The overall anastomotic leakage rate was 5.3% for all anastomoses, including a rate of 3.1% for low anastomoses. Septic anastomotic complications occurred in 8.3% of all anastomoses and 8.2% of low anastomoses. ConclusionNitinol compression anastomosis is safe, effective and easy to use and may offer an advantage for low colorectal anastomosis. A prospective randomized trial comparing ColonRing with conventional stapling is needed.
