Abstract
We aim to investigate the correlation between perioperative blood transfusion and postoperative ileus in patients who have undergone minimally invasive elective colectomy for cancer. This is a retrospective study using the 2016-2020 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Patients with colon cancer who underwent elective laparoscopic or robotic colectomy were selected. Perioperative transfusion was defined as receiving one or more units of whole/packed RBCs within 72 h of onset of operation. Using multivariable logistic regression with backward elimination, comorbidities, and intraoperative and postoperative variables were analyzed to identify risk factors for postoperative ileus. 48,728 patients were included with a mean age of 64.7 years, 52.3% were males, and a mean BMI of 28.8 kg/m2. Overall, men had a higher rate of ileus than women (13 and 7.6%, respectively, P = 0.0001). There was no difference in rates of ileus following robotic and laparoscopic surgery (10.4 and 10.4%, respectively, P = 0.8). Of the 2960 patients who had a blood transfusion, 516 (17.4%) had an ileus, whereas of the 45,768 patients who did not have a blood transfusion, 4569 (10.0%) had an ileus (P = 0.0001). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, patients with blood transfusions were 1.37 times more likely to develop an ileus (95% CI 1.2-1.5, P = 0.0001). Perioperative blood transfusion is an independent risk factor for ileus following minimally invasive colectomy for cancer.
期刊介绍:
Updates in Surgery (UPIS) has been founded in 2010 as the official journal of the Italian Society of Surgery. It’s an international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the surgical sciences. Its main goal is to offer a valuable update on the most recent developments of those surgical techniques that are rapidly evolving, forcing the community of surgeons to a rigorous debate and a continuous refinement of standards of care. In this respect position papers on the mostly debated surgical approaches and accreditation criteria have been published and are welcome for the future.
Beside its focus on general surgery, the journal draws particular attention to cutting edge topics and emerging surgical fields that are publishing in monothematic issues guest edited by well-known experts.
Updates in Surgery has been considering various types of papers: editorials, comprehensive reviews, original studies and technical notes related to specific surgical procedures and techniques on liver, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, robotic and bariatric surgery.
