Abstract

Introduction: Electrolyte imbalances are common following minimally invasive rectal resections, particularly in patients with protective ileostomies. Such imbalances can severely hinder postoperative recovery, resulting in dehydration, renal dysfunction, and various metabolic abnormalities. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the incidence and ramifications of electrolyte imbalances in rectal cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical procedures, irrespective of ileostomy status. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 117 rectal adenocarcinoma patients who underwent minimally invasive resections between 2016 and 2023. Patient categorization was based on ileostomy status, with rigorous assessment of preoperative and postoperative electrolyte levels and comprehensive documentation of complications. Results: Of 117 patients, 91 (77.8%) had a protective ileostomy. Hypokalemia and hyponatremia were significantly prevalent in the ileostomy cohort; hypokalemia affected 16.2% of patients by postoperative day two, declining to 7.7% by day four (p=0.03). Dehydration-related complications were recorded in 3.4% of cases, while acute renal insufficiency was observed in 0.9%. Readmission rates were significantly increased in the ileostomy group (32.5%) due to fluid and electrolyte disorders (p 0.01). Conclusions: The presence of a protective ileostomy during rectal cancer surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative electrolyte imbalances and subsequent complications, highlighting the need for diligent monitoring and management strategies.

保护性回肠造口术对直肠癌术后电解质失衡影响的回顾性分析。
引言:电解质失衡在微创直肠切除术后很常见,特别是在保护性回肠造口患者中。这种不平衡会严重阻碍术后恢复,导致脱水、肾功能障碍和各种代谢异常。目的:本研究旨在评估接受微创手术的直肠癌患者电解质失衡的发生率和后果,与回肠造口状态无关。方法:回顾性分析2016年至2023年117例行微创切除术的直肠腺癌患者。患者分类基于回肠造口状态,严格评估术前和术后电解质水平,并全面记录并发症。结果:117例患者中有91例(77.8%)行保护性回肠造口术。低钾血症和低钠血症在回肠造口组中明显普遍;术后第2天低钾血症发生率为16.2%,第4天降至7.7% (p=0.03)。脱水相关并发症占3.4%,急性肾功能不全占0.9%。由于体液和电解质紊乱,回肠造口组再入院率明显增加(32.5%)(p < 0.01)。结论:直肠癌手术中保护性回肠造口术的存在与术后电解质失衡和随后并发症的风险增加有关,强调需要认真监测和管理策略。

期刊介绍: Chirurgia is a bimonthly journal. In Chirurgia, original papers in the area of general surgery which neither appeared, nor were sent for publication in other periodicals, can be published. You can send original articles, new surgical techniques, or comprehensive general reports on surgical topics, clinical case presentations and, depending on publication space, - reviews of some articles of general interest to surgeons from other publications. Chirurgia is also a place for sharing information about the activity of various branches of the Romanian Society of Surgery, information on Congresses and Symposiums organized by the Romanian Society of Surgery and participation notes in other scientific meetings. Letters to the editor: Letters commenting on papers published in Chirurgia are welcomed. They should contain substantive ideas and commentaries supported by appropriate data, and should not exceed 2 pages. Please submit these letters to the editor through our online system.
