Background: With the increasing use of decompressing stoma as a bridge to surgery for left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC), the timing of restoration of bowel continuity (ROBC) is a subject of debate. There is a lack of data on immediate ROBC during elective resection as an alternative for a 3-stage procedure. This study analysed if immediate ROBC during tumour resection is safe and of any benefit for patients who underwent decompressing stoma for LSOCC.
Methods: In a Dutch nationwide collaborative research project, 3153 patients who underwent resection for LSOCC in 75 hospitals (2009-2016) were identified. Extensive data on disease and procedural characteristics, and outcomes was collected by local collaborators. For this analysis, 332 patients who underwent decompressing stoma followed by curative resection were selected. Immediate ROBC during tumour resection was compared to two no immediate ROBC groups, (1) tumour resection with primary anastomosis (PA) with leaving the decompressing stoma in situ, and (2) tumour resection without PA.
Results: Immediate ROBC was performed in 113 patients (34.0%) and no immediate ROBC in 219 patients [168 with PA (50.6%) and 51 patients without PA (15.4%)]. No differences at baseline between the groups were found for age, ASA score, cT, and cM. Major surgical complications (8.8% immediate ROBC vs. 4.8% PA with decompressing stoma and 7.8% no PA; P =0.37) and mortality (2.7% vs. 2.4% and 0%, respectively; P =0.52) were similar. Immediate ROBC resulted in a shorter time with a stoma (mean 41 vs. 240 and 314 days, respectively; P <0.001), and fewer permanent stomas (7% vs. 21% and 80%, respectively; P <0.001) as compared to PA with a decompressing stoma or no PA.
Conclusion: After a decompressing stoma for LSOCC, immediate ROBC during elective resection appears safe, reduces the total time with a stoma and the risk of a permanent stoma.

Article Synopsis
- There is evidence suggesting that using stents or decompressing stomas before surgery for left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC) is safer than emergency surgery, particularly for patients aged 70 and older.
- A study analyzing data from 2012 to 2020 showed a decrease in emergency resections, from 79.7% to 54.7%, with an increase in safer approaches like resection after stent or stoma.
- Despite a national trend towards safer surgical methods, some hospitals still performed over 75% emergency resections, leading to higher mortality rates, emphasizing the need to follow updated guidelines for elderly patients.
The Effect of Multifaceted Anastomotic Leakage Prevention ICG and SST for Lower Rectal Anastomosis.

Background/aim: In rectal cancer surgery, anastomotic leakage (AL) is the most important complication and has a reported frequency of 11-15%. The causes of AL leakage are complex, and AL prevention should be performed in multiple directions. Thus, this study examined the usefulness of the comprehensive and multifaceted AL preventive measures.

A Bridge to Curative Surgery for Obstructive Colorectal Cancer: Self-expandable Metallic Stent Decompression Tube.
Anticancer Res

Department of Surgery, Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan.
Background/aim: Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is becoming the standard bridge-to-surgery (BTS) strategy for potentially curable left-sided obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC). The study objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of SEMS placement as a BTS strategy for both right- and left-sided OCRC.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively compared the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with OCRC who underwent placement of a SEMS versus a trans-nasal/anal decompression tube (DCT).

Introduction: Patients presenting with large bowel obstruction (LBO) frequently undergo emergency surgery that is associated with significant morbidity. In malignant LBO, endoscopic approaches with placement is a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS), have been proposed to prevent emergency surgery and act as a bridge to an elective procedure-with the intention of avoiding a stoma and reducing morbidity. This systematic review aims to assess the quality and outcomes of data available on the use of SEMS in benign causes of colonic obstruction.
