Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

34
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

69
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

37
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Summary

Failure to rescue (FTR) after colorectal surgery, defined as death following major complications, occurred in 15.7% of patients. Advanced age, anastomotic leaks, and sepsis were key factors contributing to FTR.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes Research
  • Patient Safety Indicators

Background:

  • Major complications (MC) following colorectal surgery pose significant risks to patient survival.
  • Failure to rescue (FTR) quantifies a center's ability to manage MC, measured by mortality among patients experiencing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the rate of Failure to Rescue (FTR) after colectomy for colon cancer.
  • To identify independent factors associated with FTR in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 564 patients undergoing scheduled colon cancer surgery (September 2012 - August 2016).
  • Major complications (MC) defined as Clavien-Dindo scores > II.
  • FTR defined as death within 90 days post-surgery for patients with MC.

Main Results:

  • 140 patients (24.8%) experienced MC, with 22 deaths, resulting in an FTR rate of 15.7%.
  • Non-survivors were older and had higher rates of ASA III/IV and anastomotic leaks.
  • Independent predictors of FTR included advanced age, anastomotic leak, and non-abdominal sepsis.

Conclusions:

  • The FTR rate in this series is comparable to existing literature.
  • Age, anastomotic leakage, and sepsis are significant independent factors associated with FTR.
  • FTR serves as a valuable metric for assessing and improving the management of major complications in colorectal surgery centers.
