To assess morbidity, mortality and cancer-related outcomes after supervised rectal resection for cancer by surgical specialist registrars (SpRs).
A total of 205 consecutive patients (115 male; median age 64 years [range, 24-90 years]) under the care of six consultant surgeons, who underwent elective rectal resection of their rectal cancer between 1995-1999 were studied. The modified Dukes' stages were A in 28 patients (13%), B in 47 (21%), C in 103 (51%), and D in 30 (15%).
Sixty-eight patients (35 males) of mean age 64 years (range, 38-82 years) underwent supervised resection (60 anterior resections. 8 abdomino-perineal resections) by a SpR. Of these, 7 (10%) were modified Dukes' stage A, 16 (22%) stage B, 37 (54%) stage C, and 8 (13%) stage D. Postoperative morbidity (SpRs 32% versus consultants 41%; P = 0.25) and mortality (SpRs 3% versus consultants 6%; P = 0.1) were comparable with consultant outcomes. Local recurrence rates (SpRs 9% versus consultants 9%; P = 0.5) and crude survival (SpRs 64% versus consultants 61%; P = 0.31) were also comparable after a median follow-up of 48 months (range, 24-72 months).
Operative and cancer-related outcomes are not compromised by supervised SpR resections of rectal cancer in selected patients.
评估外科专科住院医师(SpRs)在有监督情况下进行直肠癌切除术后的发病率、死亡率及癌症相关结局。
对在6位顾问外科医生照料下,于1995年至1999年间接受择期直肠癌切除术的205例连续患者(115例男性;中位年龄64岁[范围24 - 90岁])进行研究。改良Dukes分期:A期28例(13%),B期47例(21%),C期103例(51%),D期30例(15%)。
68例平均年龄64岁(范围38 - 82岁)的患者(35例男性)接受了SpR的有监督切除术(60例低位前切除术,8例腹会阴联合切除术)。其中,改良Dukes分期A期7例(10%),B期16例(22%),C期37例(54%),D期8例(13%)。术后发病率(SpRs为32%,顾问医生为41%;P = 0.25)和死亡率(SpRs为3%,顾问医生为6%;P = 0.1)与顾问医生的结局相当。中位随访48个月(范围24 - 72个月)后,局部复发率(SpRs为9%,顾问医生为9%;P = 0.5)和总生存率(SpRs为64%,顾问医生为61%;P = 0.31)也相当。
在选定患者中,由SpR有监督地进行直肠癌切除术,手术及癌症相关结局不受影响。
