E S Hughes, F T McDermott, J P Masterton

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Rectal resection surgery had a 6.7% operative death rate. Mortality was higher in males, older patients, and those undergoing palliative procedures, with cardiopulmonary issues and sepsis being primary causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal surgery
    • Surgical outcomes
    • Patient risk factors

    Background:

    • Rectal resection is a critical procedure in colorectal surgery.
    • Understanding operative mortality is essential for improving patient care.
    • Identifying risk factors can guide surgical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the operative mortality following rectal resection.
    • To identify patient demographics and surgical factors associated with increased mortality.
    • To determine the primary causes of death after rectal resection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1395 patients undergoing rectal resection.
    • Comparison of operative mortality across different excision types.
    • Statistical analysis to identify risk factors for mortality.

    Main Results:

    • Overall operative mortality was 6.7% (94 deaths).
    • Mortality rates were similar across the three excision types.
    • Higher mortality observed in males, older age groups, and palliative resections.

    Conclusions:

    • Rectal resection carries a significant operative risk.
    • Male gender, advanced age, and palliative intent are associated with increased mortality.
    • Cardiopulmonary complications and sepsis are the leading causes of operative death.
