Abstract

Introduction: Currently, anastomosis dehiscence represents one of the major complications in both elective colorectal surgery and urgent surgery. This is associated with high morbidity and mortality, increased hospital stay, and greater consumption of resources. The search for acute phase reactants as inducers for the arrest and anticipation of anastomotic dehiscence after surgery continues to be studied. Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein are the markers used in our center to monitor postoperative complications. The need for reoperation and anastomotic dehiscence are two closely linked concepts; every Colorectal Surgery unit should know and follow protocols to carry out a more effective, efficient and safe treatment. Methods: Observational and retrospective study nested in a cohort of 435 patients operated on for colorectal cancer at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Ferrol (CHUF) between 2017-2020. Statistical analysis consisted of contrast tests and regression models. Results:The incidence of anastomotic dehiscence was 7.59%; PCT and PCR measurement on the second and fourth postoperative day showed an upward trend in cases that required reintervention, especially PCR seriation which, in terms of Odd ratio (OR), implies 3.30 times more probability of said event. Conclusions: The PCT and PCR serialization on the second and fourth postoperative days did not have a great impact on the time until surgery. However, the increasing values of both PCR and PCT suggest the need for additional tests.
