AimIleorectal anastomosis (IRA) following total abdominal colectomy (TAC) allows for resortation of bowel continuity but prior studies have reported rates of anastomotic leak (AL) to be as high as 23%. We aimed to report rates of AL and complications in a large cohort of patients undergoing IRA. We hypothesized that AL rates were lower than previously reported and that selective use of diverting loop

Multidisciplinary teams and social science: a patient perspective Colorectal Dis. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-23 Cheri Ostroff
Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are common in colorectal cancer and have been deemed important when providing care. Yet they take place outside of the patient, often with little consideration of the patient's views, goals and desires. In this paper specific examples from a patient perspective are integrated with the social science literature to provide an overview of areas of disconnect between MDT

When making anastomotic decisions in rectal cancer surgery, surgeons must consider the risk of anastomotic leakage, which bears implications for the patient's quality of life, cancer recurrence and, potentially, death. The aim of this study was to investigate the views of colorectal surgeons on how their individual attributes (e.g. experience, personality traits) may influence their decision-making

Colon cancer: feeling the imbalance? Colorectal Dis. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Devesh S. Ballal, Avanish P. Saklani
While neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard of care for rectal cancers in most centres, there is much interest in neoadjuvant chemotherapy in colon cancer after the recent publication of the FOxTROT trial. The management of colon cancers seems to be heading down the same path as rectal cancer, where the radicality of surgery is replaced by chemotherapy intensification. The role of demanding

Preoperative beta blockers and other drugs in relation to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer Colorectal Dis. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-10 Anders Gerdin, Jennifer Park, Jenny Häggström, Josefin Segelman, Peter Matthiessen, Marie-Louise Lydrup, Martin Rutegård
Previous research has indicated that preoperative beta blocker therapy is associated with a decreased risk of complications after surgery for rectal cancer. This is thought to arise because of the anti-inflammatory activity of the drug. These results need to be reproduced and analyses extended to other drugs with such properties, as this information might be useful in clinical decision-making. The

AimNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer facilitates tumour downstaging and complete pathological response (pCR). The goal of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (total neoadjuvant chemotherapy, TNT) is to further improve local and systemic control.

Reversal of stoma with biosynthetic mesh fascial reinforcement: a systematic review and meta‐analysis Colorectal Dis. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Dewantoro Dickson, Manson Paul, Brazzelli Miriam, Ramsay George
AimTemporary stoma formation remains a common part of modern‐day colorectal surgical operations. At the time of reversal, a second procedure is required when the bowel is anastomosed and the musculature is closed. The rate of incisional hernia at these sites is 30%–35% with conventional suture closure. Mesh placement at this site is therefore an attractive option to reduce hernia risk, particularly

AimVenous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are relatively common adverse surgical complications. Extended VTE prophylaxis for 4 weeks is recommended after colorectal cancer surgery, but its use in inflammatory bowel disease surgery lacks high‐quality evidence.
