Filter by:Anastomotic leak (AL) is one of the most feared complications after colon cancer (CC) surgery. The incidence varies according to the studies, the definition used and the location of the excised segment. In some of the series described, AL incidence have hardly changed, despite the evolution of the technique and technological improvements. The leak rate obtained in the only Spanish prospective multicenter observational study at national level was 9% (ANACO study). The aim of the present study is to determine the current rate of AL in our country, 10 years after the ANACO study, to determine if there has been any evolution and to analyze the factors associated with it. For this purpose, AL is defined with the same criteria as in the first study, as leakage of luminal contents through the junction between two hollow visceras, diagnosed radiologically (radiography with soluble enema or CT with collection adjacent to the anastomosis), clinically (extravasation of luminal contents or gas through the wound or drainage), endoscopically or intraoperatively. To compare AL rates throughout this decade, a 60-day follow-up will be performed, the same as in the ANACO study. As a modification respect to the ANACO study protocol, the aim is to analyze the possible influence of AL and perioperative intra-abdominal infection on short-term oncologic prognosis, with a one-year follow-up. This question has hardly been studied in prospective multicenter studies to date. The variables to be collected are divided into demographic (information about the hospital center, patient comorbidities), diagnostic variables (analytical values, diagnostic reason, neoadjuvant, localization, TNM), surgical variables (type of surgery, preparation, intention, intraoperative findings and complications, type of resection and anastomosis), admission (AL, other complications), histology, 60-day follow-up (AL, readmissions), one-year follow-up (readmissions, local recurrence, peritoneal and distant recurrence). Patients included in the study must be >18 years old undergoing oncologic surgery for CC located 15 cm above the anal margin, with preoperative histological confirmation or with endoscopic suspicion of infiltrating lesion or with radiological suspicion in the context of urgent surgery. Intestinal continuity (anastomosis) should be reconstructed and a derivative stoma should not be associated in the same surgery. According to ANACO data and follow-up times according to the primary objective (AL) at 60 days and the secondary objective (oncologic prognosis) with annual follow-up, inclusion will be carried out until the 1628 individuals required according to the sample size calculation performed are included.
A Delphi consensus to define surgical steps of lymphadenectomy and complete mesocolic excision for radical right colectomy
The purpose of oral care is to reduce the effect of oral pathological microbial flora and to prevent infection, pain, and bleeding associated with cancer treatment. New agents are introduced each day to be used in the prevention and treatment of mucositis in cancer treatment. One of those agents is the Ankaferd Hemostat. Ankaferd Hemostat has pleiotropic effects and anti-infective characteristics in tissue healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ankaferd Hemostat in the prevention of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy in adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to be conducted with patients who are recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will receive the first course of chemotherapyd. The data were collected using the Performance Score and the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Scale.
ONCOFIT is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the influence of a multidisciplinary prehabilitation + postoperative program on post-surgery complications in patients undergoing resection of colon cancer. This intervention will include supervised physical exercise, dietary behavior change, and psychological support comparing its influence to the standard care.
Background: Many digital devices, such as smartphones and activity monitors, have sensors to collect and track health data. Researchers believe these devices may be able to transform the quality of clinical research and healthcare. They believe they may be able to help assess the symptoms, response to therapy, and quality of life of people with cancer. Objective: To collect data from people with cancer using an Apple iPhone alone or together with an Apple Watch in order to assess their symptoms and activity levels. Eligibility: People ages 18 years and over who have cancer and receiving treatment for their cancer in another NIH protocol Design: Participants will be screened with their medical records. Participants will have a baseline visit. They will have visits every 2 4 weeks based on the treatment protocol in which they are co-enrolled. Then they will have a follow-up visit 4 months after the baseline visit. Visits include: Medical history Physical exam Karnofsky Performance Scale/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status to see how their disease affects daily activities The study team will use an iPhone to collect data. This includes a 6-minute walk test and tests of hearing, reaction time, and cognitive status. Questionnaires If participants have an iPhone, an Apple Watch will be provided to them after training at the baseline visit. Continuous measurement of their activity will be recorded by the watch between 2 visits. They will wear the watch while they are on study. They will wear the watch while it is not being charged. They should charge the watch at night time. They will have the watch for 4 months.
To explore the effect of general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) and/or rectus sheath block (RSB) on the recovery of patients with gastrointestinal tumor after surgical treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Single Port (SP) robot (daVinci, Intuitive Surgical) to perform single port robotic colon surgery and transanal robotic surgery. The hypothesis of the study is that the SP robot will prove a safe effective modality to perform these procedures.
