To Analyze Variables Considered as Potential Risk Factors for Gastro Intestinal Anastomotic Leaks
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The study conducted in the department of surgery, consent from the patient was taken to proceed the cases development with gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks, admitted and managed in Hospital were evaluated by using prestructured Pre-Tested proforma. Study aimed to analyze variables considered as Potential Risk factors for Gastro Intestinal Anastomotic leaks. Material and Methods: This Prospective Longitudinal Study was conducted in the department of surgery, consent from the patient was taken to proceed the cases development with gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks, admitted and managed in Hospital and were evaluated by using pre-structured Pre-Tested proforma. Result: The most common risk factor for AL identified in this study was Hypoalbuminemia (n=24,80%) followed by blood loss (n=11,36.66%), intraop-contamination (n=8,26.66%), Chronic smoking (n=6,20%). Other factors identified were Comorbidities (n=5,16.66) such as COPD, TB, CAD, DM (n=4,13.33%), Chemotherapy (n=4,13.33%), Duration of Surgery>200 min (n=4,13.33) History of RT (n=2,6.66%). Conclusion: Anastomotic leak is one of the most pertinent complications following GI surgery. Consequently, it is the obligation of surgeons to do their best to reduce the risk of Anastomotic leaks. In spite of one’s best efforts, these complications are bound to occur and we cannot underestimate the importance of a high index of suspicion leading to early diagnoses of leaks.
