Abstract

Aim

An estimated 5%–25% of women with endometriosis have colorectal involvement. Colorectal resection is the most suitable surgical management for cases with large bowel infiltration. However, this method is also associated with the highest rate of postoperative complications. Data focusing on surgeon speciality and surgical outcomes are currently limited. The aim of this work was to evaluate the surgical characteristics and short-term postoperative outcomes following colorectal resection for endometriosis according to surgeon speciality.

Method

Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, we included women who underwent colorectal resection for endometriosis between 2012 and 2020. Surgeries by general/colorectal surgeons were compared with those by gynaecological surgeons. The primary outcome was major complications according to the Clavien–Dindo classification.

Results

Among 745 colorectal resections, 82.3% were performed by general/colorectal surgeons and 17.7% by gynaecologists. Racial and ethnic characteristics differed between groups, but other baseline characteristics were comparable. General/colorectal surgeons performed fewer minimally invasive surgeries (29.9% vs. 58.3%, p < 0.001). General/colorectal surgery cases had lower rates of any postoperative complications and minor complications (14.8% vs. 29.5%, p < 0.001; 10.1% vs. 23.5%, p < 0.001), while major complication rates were similar. Multivariable regression showed no association between major complications and surgical speciality. In a propensity score-matched analysis, no significant differences were found between the two cohorts.

Conclusion

Most colorectal resections are performed by general/colorectal surgeons while a minimally invasive approach is more common among gynaecologists. There were no significant differences in outcomes between the two groups after adjusting for confounding variables. This suggests considering a multidisciplinary or dual surgery team approach to deep infiltrative endometriosis requiring bowel resection.

期刊介绍： Diseases of the colon and rectum are common and offer a number of exciting challenges. Clinical, diagnostic and basic science research is expanding rapidly. There is increasing demand from purchasers of health care and patients for clinicians to keep abreast of the latest research and developments, and to translate these into routine practice. Technological advances in diagnosis, surgical technique, new pharmaceuticals, molecular genetics and other basic sciences have transformed many aspects of how these diseases are managed. Such progress will accelerate. Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research relating to the demanding, rapidly expanding field of colorectal diseases. Essential for surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, gastroenterologists and health professionals caring for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract, Colorectal Disease furthers education and inter-professional development by including regular review articles and discussions of current controversies. Note that the journal does not usually accept paediatric surgical papers.
