C-Reactive Protein and Sodium in Predicting Anastomotic Leakage

Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Postoperative C-Reactive Protein and Sodium Value on the Early Prediction of Anastomotic Leaks in Patients Operated on for Colorectal Cancer

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Anastomotic leakage is serious morbidity that can develop in patients operated on for colorectal cancer and can reach potentially life-threatening dimensions. Many international studies have been conducted to reduce and eliminate this postoperative complication that may have a mortal course. In these studies, preoperative, perioperative and postoperative factors of the patient, operation techniques, structure of the material used in the operation and multiple factors belonging to the surgeon were held responsible. Intraabdominal sepsis secondary to late anastomotic leakage and subsequent multiorgan failure can cost the patient's life. Anastomotic leaks that develop in patients who have been operated for colorectal cancer; In order to detect patients' postoperative clinical findings, laboratory examinations, imaging tests, and to eliminate them before intraabdominal sepsis develops, studies including many different laboratory and imaging methods have been carried out. Although previous studies have shown that there are many laboratory examinations and imaging methods that can predict anastomotic leaks early, they have many advantages over each other in terms of efficiency, sensitivity, specificity, and cost. The investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of C reactive protein and blood sodium value, as well as their superiority, among the tests that can predict postoperative anastomotic leakage, especially in patients who have undergone a single anastomosis following resection for non-metastatic colorectal cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

- Investigate the effectiveness of postoperative C-reactive protein and sodium values in predicting anastomotic leakage in the early postoperative period in patients who have undergone anastomosis following resection for non-metastatic colorectal cancer, and their superiority to each other. - Investigate the effectiveness of these laboratory parameters in developing anastomotic leaks according to tumor location and different age subgroups (<45 years, 45-65 years,> 65 years). ;
