Abstract Introduction Hospital centralization effect is reported to lower complications and mortality for high risk and complex surgery operations, including colorectal surgery. However, no linear relation between volume and outcome has been demonstrated. Aim of the study was to evaluate the increased surgical volume effect on early outcomes of patient undergoing laparoscopic restorative anterior rectal resection (ARR).Methods A retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients undergoing ARR with primary anastomosis between November 2016 and December 2020 after centralization of rectal cancer cases in an academic Centre. Short outcomes are compared to those of patients operated in the same unit during the previous 10 years before service centralization. The primary outcome was anastomotic leak rate. Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion, radicality, in-hospital stay, number and type of complications, readmission and reoperation rate, mortality and 1-year and stoma persistence rates were evaluated as secondary outcomes.Results 86 patients were operated in the study period and outcomes compared to those of 101 patients operated during the previous ten years. Difference in volume of surgery was significant between the two periods (p 0.019) and the estimated leak rate was significantly lower in the higher volume unit (p 0.05). Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion and in-hospital stay (p <0.05) were also significantly reduced in Group A.Conclusion: This study suggests that the shift toward higher volume in rectal cancer surgery is associated to decreased anastomotic leak rate. Potentiation of lower volume surgical units may yield optimal perioperative outcomes.

However, no linear relation between volume and outcome has been demonstrated. Aim of the study was to evaluate the increased surgical volume effect on early outcomes of patient undergoing laparoscopic restorative anterior rectal resection (ARR). Methods A retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients undergoing ARR with primary anastomosis between November 2016 and December 2020 after centralization of rectal cancer cases in an academic Centre. Short-term outcomes are compared to those of patients operated in the same unit during the previous 10 years before service centralization. The primary outcome was estimated anastomotic leak rate. Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion, radicality, in-hospital stay, number and type of complications, readmission and reoperation rate, mortality and 1-year and stoma persistence rates were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Results 86 patients were operated in the study period and outcomes compared to those of 101 patients operated during the previous ten years. Difference in volume of surgery was significant between the two periods (p 0.019) and the estimated leak rate was significantly lower in the higher volume unit (p 0.047). Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion and in-hospital stay (p < 0.05) were also significantly reduced in Group A. Conclusion This study suggests that the shift toward higher volume in rectal cancer surgery is associated to decreased anastomotic leak rate. Potentiation of lower volume surgical units may yield optimal perioperative outcomes.

Abstract Background: A consensus regarding diverting stoma (DS) construction in rectal cancer surgery was reached to avoid reoperation related to anastomotic leakage. However, the incidence of stoma-related complications (SRCs) remains high. In this study, we aimed to examine the perioperative outcomes of DS construction in patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.Methods: Between 2005 and 2017, we included 400 participants who underwent radical sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer. These participants were divided into two groups: DS (+) and DS (-) groups, and the outcomes, including postoperative complications (POCs), were compared.Results and conclusion: The incidence of ileus was higher in the DS (+) group (P<0.01); however, no patient showed anastomotic leakage of grade3. Furthermore, early SRCs were observed in 33 patients (21.6%) and bowel obstruction -related stoma outlet syndrome occurred in 19 patients (12.4%). There was no intergroup difference in the incidence of grade 3b POCs. However, the most common reason for reoperation was different in the two groups: anastomotic leakage in 91.7% of patients with 3b POCs in the DS (-) group, and SRCs in 85.7% of patients with 3b POCs in the DS (+) group.In patients with DS, there was an increase in the incidence of overall POCs, severe POCs (grade 3), and bowel obstruction, including stoma outlet syndrome, compared to patients without DS. Therefore, it is important to construct an appropriate DS to avoid SRCs and to be more selective in assigning patients for DS construction.
