Smoking and tumor obstruction are risk factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic anterior resection during rectal cancer treatment

Abstract: Abstract:Objectives: To clarify the surgical outcomes and risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) following laparoscopic anterior resection (Lap-AR) for the treatment of rectal cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 175 consecutive primary rectal cancer patients who had undergone Lap-AR at our institution between April 2012 and November 2015. Patient, tumor, and surgical variables were analyzed using univariate analyses. Results: Of 175 patients, 116 were men (66.3%). All four patients w… Show more

“…We did not alter our criteria for stoma creation after the COVID-19 outbreak, which is why the number and rate of stoma creation did not significantly differ between 2019 and 2020 at our hospital ( Figure 1(b) ). There are at least two underlying reasons: a relatively low rate of anastomotic leakage in laparoscopic anterior resection in Japan (8.6% by the recent nationwide database [ 16 ] and 2.3% at our hospital [ 17 ]) and that the Japan Surgical Society has no recommendations for stoma formation in colorectal surgery.…”
