Risk Factors for Early Postoperative Small Bowel Obstruction after Elective Colon Cancer Surgery: An Observational Study of 1,244 Consecutive Patients

Abstract: Background: Early postoperative small bowel obstruction (EPSBO) is a common complication following colon cancer surgery. EPSBO is associated with increased hospital stays, mortality rates, and healthcare costs. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for EPSBO following elective colon cancer surgery. Study Design: We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological variables of 1,244 patients with colon cancer who underwent partial colectomy from January 2000 to December 2014. A multivariable lo… Show more

“…The current study found a close relationship between preoperative serum albumin level and EPSBO, which indicates that poor systemic nutritional status increases the risk of EPSBO after right colectomy. This is consistent with the findings of Pan Chi et al [ 14 ], who hypothesized that preoperative low albumin induced EPSBO. Hypoproteinemia leads to intestinal swelling, which results in a local inflammatory response in the small intestine and increases the risk of EPSBO.…”

“…After multivariate analysis and controlling for confounding factors, a history of abdominal surgery was not an independent risk factor for EPSBO ( P = 0.111). A long operative time was considered a very important independent risk factor in current and previous studies [ 4 , 12 , 14 , 22 ]. Therefore, surgeons should complete the operation as soon as possible while ensuring surgical treatment to reduce complications caused by long operative times.…”

“…Postoperative bowel obstruction was a quite common complication after colorectal surgery [ 10 ]. Previous studies showed that risk factors of prolonged or early postoperative bowel obstruction for patients after colorectal surgery [ 11 13 ]. But few studies analyzed multiple risk factors for early postoperative bowel obstruction and no one previous study was found focusing on the prediction model of early postoperative bowel obstruction [ 14 ].…”
