Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and the different potential risk factors for the development of anastomotic leakage (AL) after resection of left-sided colon cancer. Also, to evaluate the AL impact on long-term survival outcomes. Methods: We reviewed the cases who underwent surgical resection of left-sided colon cancer during the period between January 2008 and December 2018. Results: 218 cases were included in our study. The commonest presentations were weight loss (45.9%), and bleeding per rectum (40.8%). Left hemi-colectomy was performed in 101 cases (46.3%) and sigmoidectomy in 117 cases (53.7%). The median operation time was 3 hours (1 – 5), and blood loss was 150 ml (50 – 750). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 28 cases (22.1%). AL occurred in 12 cases (5.5%). Early mortality occurred in 6 cases (2.8%). After median follow up of 38 months (15 – 120), mortality occurred in 44 cases (20.2%). The 1, 3-, and 5-years overall survival (OS) were 98.8%, 84.4%, and 64.4%, respectively. Recurrence occurred in 91 cases (41.7%). The 1, 3-, and 5-years disease-free survival (DFS) were 94.9%, 49.1%, and 38%, respectively. We did not find any significant differences between cases with and without AL in terms of OS (p = 0.634) and DFS (p = 0.682). On multivariate analysis, only preoperative serum CEA and operative blood loss were significant predictors for AL. Conclusion: Preoperative serum CEA and operative blood loss were significant predictors for AL. AL did not have a significant impact on the survival outcomes of those cases.
期刊介绍:
Starting with this issue "Annals of Fundeni Hospital", founded in 1996 as the scientific journal of the prestigious hospital Fundeni becomes "Journal of Translational Medicine and Research" (JTMR), an Journal of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania. Therefore, an 18 years old Journal, attested and indexed in Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, Amsterdam and also indexed in SCOPUS, is continuing a tradition of excellence that lasted almost two decades. The new title of the Journal is inspired first of all from the important developments of translational research In Fundeni Clinical Institute and the "C.C Iliescu Institute for Cardio-Vascular Diseases", in parallel with the national and international trend to promote and develop this important area or medical research. Although devoted mainly to translational research, JTMR will continue to promote both basic and clinical research.
