The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

This audit of laparoscopic colorectal surgery found a low clinical anastomotic leak rate of 2.9% for intracorporeal stapled anastomosis. The results suggest this technique is as safe as open surgery for left-sided colonic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Anastomosis

Background:

  • Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is increasingly common.
  • Intracorporeal stapled anastomosis is a key technique.
  • Anastomotic leak remains a significant complication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the clinical anastomotic leak rate.
  • To assess the safety of left-sided intracorporeal stapled anastomosis.
  • To evaluate outcomes on an intention-to-treat basis.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit of 84 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
  • Standardized surgical technique and pre-operative preparation.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, procedure, leak rate, and outcomes.
Keywords:

High-throughput Fluorometric Measurement of Potential Soil Extracellular Enzyme Activities

Published on: November 15, 2013

Main Results:

  • A 2.9% clinical anastomotic leak rate was observed.
  • One intra-operative air leak required intervention.
  • Median hospital stay was six days; 30-day mortality was 0% in the non-leak group.

Conclusions:

  • Intracorporeal laparoscopic anastomosis has a low leak rate.
  • The leak rate is comparable to open surgery.
  • This technique is a safe option for left-sided colonic procedures.
