Mortality and Complications of Large‐bowel Resection for Carcinoma1

Abstract: The mortallty and complications of large-bowel resection for carcinoma performed at the Princess Alexandra Hospital since the Colorectal Project commenced in 1971 are reviewed and compared with the results in other published series. There were 443 patients in this prospective study, and 375 underwent resection of their tumour. The overall operative mortality was 6.4%for colonic lesions it was 8.0% and for rectal 3.4%. The mortality for elective curative resections was Z.6%, and for emergency resections it was … Show more

“…Despite its magnitude, APR is a safe operation. Operative mortality varies from 0-6% [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] (Table 2). This mortality rate has remained relatively stable over the past 2 decades.…”

“…A relationship to tumor location has been established only for anastomotic leak rate. Clinically manifest anastomotic leaks following rectal resection occur in about 3-30% of cases [2,4,5,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. The leak rate depends directly on the depth of the resection plane.…”
