Surgical technique might influence rectal cancer survival, yet international practices for surgical treatment of rectal cancer are poorly described.
We performed a cross-sectional survey in a cohort of experienced colorectal surgeons representing 123 centers.
Seventy-one percent responded, 70% are from departments performing more than 50 proctectomies annually. More than 50% defined the rectum as "15 cm from the verge." Seventy-two percent perform laparoscopic proctectomy, 80% use oral bowel preparation, 69% perform high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery, 76% divert stomas as routine for colo-anal anastomosis, and 63% use enhanced recovery protocols. Different practices exist between US and non-US surgeons: 15 cm from the verge to define the rectum (34% vs 59%; P = .03), personally perform laparoscopic resection (82% vs 66%; P = .05), rectal stump washout (36% vs 73%; P = .0001), always drain after surgery (23% vs 42%; P = .03), transanal endoscopic microsurgery for T2N0 in medically unfit patients (39% vs 61%; P = .0001).
Wide international variations in rectal cancer management make outcome comparisons challenging, and consensus development should be encouraged.
手术技术可能会影响直肠癌的生存,但直肠癌的国际手术治疗实践情况描述较差。
我们对代表 123 个中心的经验丰富的结直肠外科医生进行了横断面调查。
71%的人做出了回应,其中 70%来自每年进行超过 50 例直肠切除术的科室。超过 50%的人将直肠定义为“距肛缘 15cm”。72%的人进行腹腔镜直肠切除术,80%的人使用口服肠道准备,69%的人进行肠系膜下动脉高位结扎,76%的人常规行结肠直肠吻合术转流造口,63%的人使用加速康复方案。美国和非美国外科医生之间存在不同的做法:以距肛缘 15cm 来定义直肠(34% vs 59%;P =.03),亲自进行腹腔镜切除(82% vs 66%;P =.05),直肠残端冲洗(36% vs 73%;P =.0001),术后始终引流(23% vs 42%;P =.03),不适合手术的患者经肛门内镜微创手术治疗 T2N0(39% vs 61%;P =.0001)。
直肠癌管理方面存在广泛的国际差异,使得结果比较具有挑战性,应鼓励制定共识。
