    Transperitoneal colon and rectal operations, particularly those for tumors, show higher risks in emergency settings. Postoperative complications and anastomotic insufficiency are significant concerns, impacting patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Outcomes Research

    Context:

    • Analysis of 615 transperitoneal operations on the colon and rectum.
    • Procedures included abdominoperineal resections, anterior resections, colectomies, proctocolectomies, colostomy closures, and resections.
    • Tumors accounted for 66% of the operations.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of transperitoneal operations on the colon and rectum.
    • To compare complication rates and mortality between scheduled and emergency procedures.
    • To assess the incidence and types of postoperative complications and anastomotic insufficiency.

    Summary:

    • A total of 615 transperitoneal operations were performed, with 377 major resections and 151 other resections.

  • Mortality was significantly higher in emergency operations (25.7%) compared to scheduled ones (8.1%).
  • Postoperative complications occurred in 41.3% of cases, with infectious complications being most frequent, followed by cardiopulmonary and hemorrhagic issues. Anastomotic insufficiency was observed in 16% of cases, with a 1.4% mortality rate.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the increased risks associated with emergency colorectal surgeries.
    • Underscores the importance of preoperative preparation to reduce mortality.
    • Identifies key areas for improvement in postoperative care to mitigate complications like infection and anastomotic leaks.
