Importance Patients undergoing unplanned abdominal surgical procedures are at increased risk of site infection (SSI). It is not known if incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) can reduce SSI rates in this setting. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness iNPWT reducing rate adults emergency laparotomy with primary skin closure. Design, Setting, and Participants SUNRRISE was an assessor-masked, pragmatic, phase 3, individual-participant, randomized clinical trial. Adult patients 22...
Many surgeons routinely place intraperitoneal drains after elective colorectal surgery. However, enhanced recovery surgery guidelines recommend against their routine use owing to a lack of clear clinical benefit. This study aimed describe international variation in drain placement and the safety this practice.COMPASS (COMPlicAted intra-abdominal collectionS Surgery) was prospective, international, cohort which enrolled consecutive adults undergoing (February March 2020). The primary outcome...
Balancing opioid stewardship and the need for adequate analgesia following discharge after surgery is challenging. This study aimed to compare outcomes patients discharged with versus opioid-free common surgical procedures.
To support the global restart of elective surgery, data from an international prospective cohort study 8492 patients (69 countries) was analysed using artificial intelligence (machine learning techniques) to develop a predictive score for mortality in surgical with SARS-CoV-2. We found that patient rather than operation factors were best predictors and used these create COVIDsurg Mortality Score (https://covidsurgrisk.app). Our demonstrates it is safe wide range services selected patients.
This study aimed to investigate the use of defunctioning stomas after rectal cancer surgery in Australia and New Zealand, as current practice is unknown.From Binational Colorectal Cancer Audit database, data on patients who underwent a resection between 2007 2019 with formation an anastomosis were extracted analysed. The primary outcome was rate stoma formation. Secondary outcomes anastomotic leakage (AL) rates other postoperative complications, length hospital stay (LOS), readmissions...
Abstract Introduction Gastrointestinal recovery describes the restoration of normal bowel function in patients with disease. This may be prolonged two common clinical settings: postoperative ileus and small obstruction. Improving gastrointestinal is a research priority but researchers are limited by variation outcome reporting across studies. protocol development core sets for contexts Method An international Steering Group consisting patient clinician representatives has been established....
Post-operative ileus (POI) and delayed return of gastrointestinal (GI) function are common complications after colorectal surgery. There is a lack uniformity in enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) with regards to interventions used target these complications. This systematic review aims categorize summarize management recommendations available from published ERPs.
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery is commonly used in the treatment of rectal cancer, despite lack evidence to support oncological equivalence or improved recovery compared with open surgery. OBJECTIVE: This study aims analyze prospectively collected data from a large Australasian colorectal cancer database. DESIGN: retrospective cohort using propensity score matching. SETTING: was conducted supplied by Bi-National Colorectal Cancer Audit. PATIENTS: A total 3451 patients who underwent...
Recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function is often delayed after colorectal surgery. Enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) recommend routine laxative use, but evidence benefit unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether the addition multimodal laxatives an ERP improves return GI in patients undergoing surgery.This was a single-centre, parallel, open-label RCT. All adult elective resection or having stoma formation reversal at Royal Adelaide Hospital between August 2018 and May 2020 were...
Background: In the West, pre-treatment abnormal lateral lymph nodes (LLN+) in patients with a low locally advanced rectal cancer (AJCC Stage III), are treated neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy (nCRT), without node dissection (LLND). It has been suggested, however, that LLN+ have higher local recurrence (LR) rates than similarly staged mesorectal only (LLN-), but no comparative data exist. Therefore, we conducted this international multi-centre study Netherlands and Australia of III either or...
Abstract The focus of the 2022 European Society Coloproctology (ESCP) annual campaign was diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in surgery. ESCP “Operation Equal Access” sought to interview key-opinion leaders trainees, raise awareness on inequalities, inform community status topic, identify future areas for improvement. Social Media Working Group interviewed experts who have made significant contributions DEI colorectal surgery were acknowledged opinion field. interviews focused their...
Abstract Aim Postoperative ileus (POI) is a major problem after colorectal surgery. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as pyridostigmine increase gastrointestinal (GI) motility through cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway. The purpose of this phase II pilot study to determine the safety oral elective Method This Stage 2b (IDEAL framework). All adult patients undergoing resection or formation reversal stoma at Royal Adelaide Hospital between September 2020 and January 2021 were eligible....
Providing discharge instructions to emergency department (ED) patients is not a standard practice and there wide disparity in its implementation. There evidence that ED instructions, especially pre- formatted one, complements verbal improves patient communication management.Our aim was audit the of providing summary standardized pre-formatted form visiting at Sundaram Medical Foundation (SMF), Chennai, India.Case sheets 200 who visited from 1 July 31 August 2007 were selected randomly...
