Abstract
To analyze the risk factors for intraperitoneal sigmoid stoma complications after abdominoperineal resection (APR) surgery to guide clinical practice. Patients who were diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent APR surgery from June 2013 to June 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. The characteristics of the stoma complication group and the no stoma complication group were compared, and univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were employed to identify risk factors for sigmoid stoma-related complications. A total of 379 patients who were diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent APR surgery were enrolled in this study. The average age of the patients was 61.7 ± 12.1 years, and 226 (59.6%) patients were males. Patients in the short-term stoma complication group were younger (55.7 vs 62.0, P < .05) and had a more advanced tumor stage (P < .05). However, there was no significant difference between the long-term stoma complication group and the no stoma complication group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that operation time was an independent risk factor (P < .05, OR = 1.005, 95% CI = 1.000–1.010) for short-term stoma complications. Both the short-term and long-term stoma complication rates in our institution were low. A longer operation time was an independent risk factor for short-term stoma complications after APR surgery.
