Objective To explore the impact of restrictive fluid administration for patients with colorectal cancer combined diabetes. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer with diabetes were analyzed retrospectively from January 2007 to October 2009 in this hospital, the clinical effects on postoperative early rehabilitation were studied and the differences between restrictive fluid regimen (fluid restriction group) and tradition fluid regimen (tradition therapy group) were compared. Results The time of first aerofluxus and the first ambulation in fluid restriction group were shorter than those of tradition therapy group, the differences had statistical significances (Plt;0.05). The incidence of wound infection in fluid restriction group was lower than that in tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05). The differences of preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC), glucose (GLU) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were not statistically significant between two groups, but the difference of postoperative GLU was statistically significant between two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Restrictive fluid regimen can reduce the incidence of common complications after colorectal surgery for diabetic, and has a certain promoter action to the early rehabilitation after rectal surgery.
Objective To explore the value and clinical safety of low-dose dexamethasone used after operation of anastomotic colorectal resection with fast-track surgery in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Between January 2008 and December 2009, 470 patients undergoing anastomotic colorectal resection were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into dexamethasone group and control group according to the use of low-dose dexamethasone treatment or not after operation. Postoperative adverse effect, complications, and early rehabilitations were studied. Results There was no statistical significance in postoperative incidence of adverse effect or complications between two groups (Pgt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, first ambulation of patients in the dexamethasone group was significantly earlier than that in the control group (Plt;0.05), while there was no statistical significance in first time of passing flatus, stool, and oral intake, the retain time of nasogastric tubes, urinary catheter, and drains, and postoperative hospital stay (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Using low-dose dexamethasone after operation anastomotic colorectal resection in patients with colorectal cancer is safe and may have potential to enhance recovery after operation.
Objective To discuss the impacts of completion rate of fast track items on postoperative management of colorectal cancer surgery. Methods Between February 2010 and May 2010, 100 patients (Group “Year 2010”) were analyzed retrospectively, who were compared with 76 patients (Group “Year 2008”) from the same period of 2008. Postoperative recovery indexes, complications, and completion rate of fast track items were studied and compared. Results For major fast track items, the completion rates of restrict rehydration, early out-of-bed mobilization, early oral intaking, and management of gastric tube and drains were significantly higher in Group “Year 2010” than those in Group “Year 2008” (Plt;0.05). Meanwhile, the completion rate of urinary catheter management was significantly higher in Group “Year 2008” than that in Group “Year 2010” (Plt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, the first flatus of patients in Group “Year 2010” 〔(3.86±1.05) d〕 was significantly earlier than that in Group “Year 2008” 〔(4.28±1.22) d〕, Plt;0.05; for postoperative hospital stay, though, there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). As to the complications, there was also no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions As the concepts of fast track surgery became increasingly favorable, completion rates of fast track items are increased. As a result, more and more fast track items turn into regular perioperative care. Although enhanced recovery has been achieved, better collaboration and localilzation are still needed to make the full advantage of fast track surgery.
Objective To explore the content and scientific evidence of every element of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery. Methods The literatures about the applied status and opinion of the modality applied in the surgical treatment of the colorectal cancer and fundament investigation in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The feasibility of the every fast-track’s element was based on the clinical and fundamental investigaton. Conclusion The advantage of the fast-track programmes in colorectal surgery is confirmed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of fasttrack (FT) and traditional care (TC) on patients with rectal cancer underwent different surgical strategies in perioperative period. MethodsThe clinical data of 285 patients with rectal cancer from January 2009 to January 2010 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed. These patients underwent high anterior resection (HAR) or lower/super lower anterior resection (LAR) under FT and TC were divided into four groups: FT+HAR (n=39), FT+LAR (n=17), TC+HAR (n=151), and TC+LAR (n=78), and intraoperative conditions and postoperative rehabilitation were analyzed. ResultsThe baselines characteristics of four groups were basically identical (Pgt;0.05). ①The operative time and blood loss of patients in four groups were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). ②Anastomotic leakage occurred in three cases, wound infection in 13 cases, and intestinal obstruction in four cases after operation, and the difference was not significant in four groups (Pgt;0.05). ③The time of first defecation and first flatus of four groups were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05), but there were significant differences in the time with drainage tube, nasogastric tube, and catheter tube, the time of first intake and first ambulation, and length of stay among four groups (Plt;0.05). Compared with TC+HAR and TC+LAR group, the time with drainage tube, nasogastric tube, and catheter tube, and the time of first intake and first ambulation of patients were shorter in FT+HAR and FT+LAR group, and the length of stay of patients in FT+LAR group was shorter than that in TC+HAR group and TC+LAR group (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsFT can promote postoperative rehabilitation of rectal cancer patients underwent different surgical strategies, but which does not demonstrate the superiority of reducing postoperative complications.
ObjectiveTo explain the latest concepts of colorectal surgery, and predict the future direction of it.
MethodsA review and summary based on the clinical experience of our hospitals and theses over the past years and new advances on the researches in home and abroad were performed.
ResultsDoctors should attach more importance to anal preserving operation; and there should be more usage of fast track in colorectal surgery. Besides, predicting low risk of postoperative complications and digitizing colorectal surgery also needed more attention.
ConclusionThose aspects of colorectal surgery in the result need further development.
Objective To discuss the clinical outcome of fast-track surgery for low/super-low rectal cancer. Methods Between October 2007 and December 2008, 120 patients underwent low/super-low rectal cancer resection without formation of stoma in the West China Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative early rehabilitations were compared between fast-track group and traditional group. Results In early rehabilitations, time of first passing flatus, ambulation, oral intake, and pulling out urinary catheter and the hospital stay in fast-track group were significantly earlier than those in traditional group （Plt;0.05）, while there was no significant difference in time of using nasogastric tubes or drains （Pgt;0.05）. There was also no significant difference in postoperative morbidity of complications between the 2 groups （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion Fast-track surgery for low/super-low rectal cancer is safe and can accelerate recovery with decreased length of hospital stay.
