ObjectivesHospital variation in risk-adjusted outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery has been shown. However, explanatory factors are not sufficiently clear. The objective of this study was to identify factors perceived by gastrointestinal surgeons as important to achieve excellent casemix-adjusted outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery.DesignBased on literature and experts’ opinion, 86 factors associated with serious complications, failure to rescue and mortality were listed. These were presented to gastrointestinal surgeons through two web-based surveys and an expert meeting. Participants were asked to choose their top 10 of most important factors.ParticipantsDutch gastrointestinal surgeons (n=52) of different hospitals and different hospital types (general/teaching/academic).ResultsOf 31 invited experts for the first survey and meeting, 71% responded. Of 130 invited surgeons, 34 responded to the second survey. Factors deemed important were: procedural hospital volume (46% in top 10), specialised surgeons performing surgery, (elective 87%, emergency 60% and reoperations 62% in top 10), accessibility of, and daily ward rounds by specialised surgeons (41% and 38% in top 10), preoperative screening for malnutrition (57% in top 10), a protocol for recognition of anastomotic leakage and rapid reintervention (54% and 49% in top 10).ConclusionProcedural hospital volume, specialisation of surgeons, screening for malnutrition, early recognition of complications followed by rapid action were perceived as most important factors to achieve good outcomes by gastrointestinal surgeons.

Abstract Background The relationship between hospital surgical volume and outcome after colorectal cancer surgery has thoroughly been studied. However, few studies have assessed hospital surgical volume and failure-to-rescue (FTR) after colon and rectal cancer surgery. The aim of the current study is to evaluate FTR following colorectal cancer surgery between clinics based on procedure volume. Methods Patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery in Sweden from January 2015 to January 2020 were recruited through the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. The primary endpoint was FTR, defined as the proportion of patients with 30-day mortality after severe postoperative complications in colorectal cancer surgery. Severe postoperative complications were defined as Clavien–Dindo ≥ 3. FTR incidence rate ratios (IRR) were calculated comparing center volume stratified in low-volume (≤ 200 cases/year) and high-volume centers (> 200 cases/year), as well as with an alternative stratification comparing low-volume (< 50 cases/year), medium-volume (50–150 cases/year) and high-volume centers (> 150 cases/year). Results A total of 23,351 patients were included in this study, of whom 2964 suffered severe postoperative complication(s). Adjusted IRR showed no significant differences between high- and low-volume centers with an IRR of 0.97 (0.75–1.26, p = 0.844) in high-volume centers in the first stratification and an IRR of 2.06 (0.80–5.31, p = 0.134) for high-volume centers and 2.15 (0.83–5.56, p = 0.116) for medium-volume centers in the second stratification. Conclusion This nationwide retrospectively analyzed cohort study fails to demonstrate a significant association between hospital surgical volume and FTR after colorectal cancer surgery. Future studies should explore alternative characteristics and their correlation with FTR to identify possible interventions for the improvement of quality of care after colorectal cancer surgery.

TÓM TẮT Đặt vấn đề: Gây tê ngoài màng cứng để giảm đau trong và sau mổ được áp dụng rộng rãi trên thế giới từ nhiều thập niên qua. Kết quả của nhiều công trình nghiên cứu cho thấy phương pháp này làm giảm những biến chứng trong và sau mổ, giảm tỉ lệ tử vong sau mổ của các phẫu thuật nặng. Nghiên cứu nhằm đánh giá hiệu quả và các tác dụng phụ của gây tê ngoài màng cứng trong phẫu thuật ung thư đại, trực tràng. Phương pháp: Nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang trên 28 bệnh nhân được gây tê ngoài màng cứng trong mổ ung thư đại, trực tràng có phối hợp gây mê nội khí quản. Sinh hiệu và tình trạng sức khỏe của bệnh nhân được theo dõi trước và sau khi tiêm thuốc giảm đau. Ghi nhận mức độ giảm đau theo Visual Analog Scale (VAS), mức độ liệt vận động theo Bromage và các tác dụng phụ sau mổ. Kết quả: Hiệu quả giảm đau sau mổ tốt, tại các thời điểm sau mổ VAS đều ≤ 1,5. Tỉ lệ các biến chứng: tụt huyết áp: 7,14%, đau đầu: 7,14%, lạnh run: 10,71%, buồn nôn, nôn: 17,86%. Kết luận: Kỹ thuật gây tê ngoài màng cứng phối hợp với gây mê toàn thân là kỹ thuật giảm đau hiệu quả và an toàn cho phẫu thuật vùng bụng trong mổ và 24 giờ sau mổ. ABSTRACT THE EFFICIENCY OF SPINAL EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA FOR LAPAROSCOPIC COLORECTAL CANCER SURGERY Background: Epidural anesthesia for pain relief during and after surgery has been widely applied in the world for decades. The results of many studies show that this method reduces intra - and postoperative complications and reduces the postoperative mortality rate of major surgery. The study aimed to evaluate epidural anesthesia’s effectiveness and side effects in colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive study on 28 patients receiving epidural anesthesia in surgery for colorectal cancer in combination with endotracheal anesthesia. The patient’s vital signs and health status were monitored before and after the injection of pain medication. Record the level of pain relief according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the degree of motor paralysis according to Bromage, and the side effects after surgery. Results: Good postoperative pain relief effect, at all times after surgery, VAS was ≤ 1.5. Rate of complications: hypotension: 7.14%, headache: 7.14%, shiver: 10.71%, nausea, vomiting: 17.86%. Conclusion: The epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia is an effective and safe analgesia technique for abdominal surgery during surgery and 24 hours after surgery. Keywords: Epidural anesthesia, colorectal cancersurgery
