This study shows that abdominoperineal resection surgery can be performed with minimal blood transfusion, even in unselected patients. This approach is feasible and associated with good outcomes, reducing risks linked to blood transfusions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Blood loss and hypovolemic shock significantly impact the immune system.
  • Perioperative blood transfusion is linked to increased tumor recurrence and infectious complications in cancer patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of abdominoperineal resection without blood transfusion.
  • To assess outcomes in patients undergoing this procedure with minimal transfusion.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 22 consecutive unselected patients undergoing synchronous abdominoperineal excision of the rectum.
  • Inclusion of patients with varying tumor stages (Dukes' B and C) and obesity.

Main Results:

  • Only four patients required blood transfusion (1-2 units each).

  • No hospital mortality was observed.
  • All perineal wounds healed primarily without infection.

    • Conclusions:

    • Abdominoperineal resection with minimal blood transfusion is a feasible surgical option.
    • This approach can be safely performed in unselected patients, including those with advanced disease or obesity.
