Stapled anterior resections showed a 23% leak rate, with no significant difference between double and single stapling techniques. Risk factors for complications included blood transfusions, cartridge size, and prior radiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Anterior resection is a common surgical procedure for rectal cancer.
  • Stapling devices have become widely used to create anastomoses.
  • Assessing the safety and outcomes of stapled anterior resections is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the complication rates associated with stapled anterior resections.
  • To compare outcomes between double and single stapling techniques.
  • To identify risk factors for anastomotic complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 131 patients undergoing stapled anterior resections between 1980 and 1990.
  • Data collected on clinical and subclinical leaks, fistulas, stenoses, and stoma outcomes.

  • Statistical analysis to identify risk factors for complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall complication rate was 23% (30/131), including clinical and subclinical leaks.
    • Leak rates were similar for double (22%) and single (25%) stapling.
    • Stenosis occurred in 21% of patients, with a higher rate in single stapling (27%).
    • Risk factors identified: blood transfusions (dehiscence), small cartridge size (stenosis), and prior radiotherapy (permanent stoma).

    Conclusions:

    • Stapled anterior resection is associated with a significant complication rate.
    • Double and single stapling techniques showed similar leak rates.
    • Specific risk factors are linked to different anastomotic complications, guiding surgical decision-making.
