In order to standardize this period, a common flow diagram after endoscopy should be established for patients with suspected malignancy.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The effect of expertise of physicians who perform endoscopy on preoperative wait-time of colorectal cancer patients was evaluated.Material and Methods: Data of 86 patients who have been operated with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer from January 2011-February 2013 regarding age, sex, tumor location, colonoscopy date, surgery date, the expertise and institution of the endoscopist were retrospectively examined.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The time between colonoscopy and surgery was accepted as the pre-operative wait time (PWT).Results: From 86 patients, 24 (27.9%) colonoscopies were performed by general surgeons (GS), and 62 (72.1%) by gastroenterologists (GE).

Abstract

Objective: The effect of expertise of physicians who perform endoscopy on preoperative wait-time of colorectal cancer patients was evaluated.Material and Methods: Data of 86 patients who have been operated with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer from January 2011-February 2013 regarding age, sex, tumor location, colonoscopy date, surgery date, the expertise and institution of the endoscopist were retrospectively examined. The time between colonoscopy and surgery was accepted as the pre-operative wait time (PWT).Results: From 86 patients, 24 (27.9%) colonoscopies were performed by general surgeons (GS), and 62 (72.1%) by gastroenterologists (GE). When patients who underwent colonoscopy in other centers were extracted, the PWT for our center was 20.4±10.8 days. When grouped according to specialties, the PWT of patients who had their colonoscopy performed by GS was significantly shorter than patients who underwent colonoscopy by GE at the same center (p<0.05). Patient's age, sex and location of the tumor had no effect on PWT (p>0.05).Conclusion: The preparation time for surgery in colorectal cancer patients is influenced by the specialty of the physician performing the procedure. In order to standardize this period, a common flow diagram after endoscopy should be established for patients with suspected malignancy.

Özet

Amaç: Kolorektal kanserli hastaların ameliyat hazırlık süresine endoskopiyi yapan hekimin uzmanlığının etkisi değerlendirildi.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2011-Şubat 2013 tarihleri arasında kolorektal kanser tanısı ile ameliyat olan 86 hastanın yaşı, cinsiyeti, tümör yerleşim yeri, kolonoskopi tarihi, ameliyat tarihi, endoskopistin uzmanlığı ve çalıştığı kurumu geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Kolonoskopi ile ameliyat arası geçen zaman ameliyat hazırlık süresi (AHS) olarak hesaplandı.Bulgular: Toplam 86 hastanın 24'ünün (%27,9) kolonoskopisi genel cerrah (GC), 62'sinin (%72,1) gastroenterolog (GE) tarafından yapılmıştı. Dış merkezde kolonoskopisi yapılmış hastalar çıkartıldığında, merkezimizin AHS 20,4±10,8 gündü. İşlemi yapan uzmana göre gruplandığında GC tarafından kolonoskopisi yapılan hastaların AHS aynı merkez GE'larınca yapılanlardan anlamlı olarak daha kısaydı (p 0,05).Sonuç: Kolorektal kanser hastalarının ameliyata hazırlık süresi işlemi yapan hekimin uzmanlığından etkilenmektedir. Bu sürelerin standardize edilmesi için endoskopi sonrası kanser şüphesi olan hastalarda ortak bir akış şeması oluşturulmalıdır.
