Factor analysis of postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome after right hemicolectomy for colon cancer.

The present study aimed to investigate factors influencing postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) in patients with right-sided colon cancer. In total, 260 patients who underwent complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer were included in the present analysis. Among the included patients, 69 underwent open radical right-sided colon resection, 175 underwent laparoscopic radical right-sided colon resection and 16 underwent robot-assisted radical right-sided colon resection. The occurrence of PGS was observed, and both the χ test and multivariate regression analysis were conducted to identify influencing factors. Among the 260 patients, 32 experienced PGS, with an incidence rate of 12.3%. Univariate analysis demonstrated that age, perioperative blood glucose levels, self-rated anxiety scale scores and surgical approach were significantly associated with PGS (P<0.05), whereas sex, surgical duration, diabetes and perioperative albumin levels were not significant factors (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age >70 years, perioperative blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/l, a self-rating anxiety scale score ≥50 and radical extended right-sided colon resection were risk factors for PGS occurrence. In conclusion, the occurrence of PGS in patients with right-sided colon cancer was revealed to be associated with age, perioperative blood glucose levels, self-rated anxiety scale scores and surgical approach.
