Background.
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a common and devastating postoperative issue for patients who have undergone anterior resection of rectal carcinoma and can lead to increased short-term morbidity and mortality.
Moreover, it might be associated with a worse oncological prognosis of tumors.
This study is aimed at exploring the risk factors for symptomatic AL after laparoscopic anterior resection (LAR) for rectal tumors without a preventive diverting stoma.
Materials and Methods.
This case control study retrospectively reviewed the data of 496 consecutive patients who underwent LAR of the rectum without a preventive diverting stoma at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between September 2016 and September 2017.
All patients were divided into an AL group and a control group based on the occurrence of postoperative symptomatic AL.
Factors regarding patient-related variables, operation-related variables, and tumor-related variables were collected and assessed between the two groups through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify independent risk factors for AL.
Results.
In total, 18 (3.6%) patients developed postoperative symptomatic AL.
Univariate analysis showed that a synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon (P=0.047), intraoperative chemotherapy (P=0.003), and level of anastomosis (P=0.033) were significantly related with AL.
Multivariate analysis was subsequently performed to adjust for confounding biases and confirmed that a synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon (odds ratio (OR), 12.225; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.764-84.702; P=0.011), intraoperative chemotherapy (OR, 3.931; 95% CI, 1.334-11.583; P=0.013), and level of anastomosis (OR, 3.224; 95% CI, 1.124-9.249; P=0.030) were independent risk factors for symptomatic AL for patients who received LAR for rectal neoplasms without a preventive diverting stoma.
Conclusions.
Synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon, intraoperative chemotherapy, and a low anastomotic level can increase the risks of postoperative symptomatic AL after LAR of the rectum without a protective diverting stoma.
