Article Synopsis
- Abdominoperineal resection (APR) for rectal cancer traditionally uses primary perineal wound closure, but new methods like the gluteal turnover flap may enhance healing by providing well-vascularized tissue without donor site scars.
- This multicenter randomized controlled trial will involve 160 patients undergoing APR, comparing the gluteal flap technique to standard closure, with patients and assessors blinded to the technique used.
- The primary goal is to determine the rate of uncomplicated perineal wound healing at 30 days, with secondary measures including complications, quality of life, and urogenital function, aiming to increase healing rates significantly from 65% to 85%.
Background: Radical gastrectomy is the cornerstone of the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer. This study was designed to evaluate factors associated with a tumor-positive resection margin after gastrectomy and to evaluate the influence of hospital volume.
Methods: In this Dutch cohort study, patients with junctional or gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy between 2011 and 2017 were included.
