Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of hyperlipidemia on postoperative complications in patients of colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing open or laparoscopic surgery. Methods Clinical data of 382 CRC patients who received either traditional or laparoscopic operation from Mar. 2005 to Sep. 2009 were reviewed. By preoperative blood lipid levels, patients were divided into hyperlipidemia group and normal blood lipid group. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test and T test. Results In hyperlipidemia group of 201 CRC cases, volume of blood loss ( t = 11.318, P ＜ 0.01 ), time to resume oral intake( t =5.956, P ＜ 0.01 ), drainage tube removing (t = 4.781, P ＜ 0.01 ), hospital stay( t = 2.449, P ＜ 0.05 ), and incidence of wound liquefaction( x2 =3.988 ,P ＜0.05) were inferior to the other 181 cases in normal blood lipid group, while no difference was observed in operation time ( t = 0.374, P ＞ 0.05 ) and incidence of anastomotic leakage( x2 = 0.239, P ＞ 0.05 ). Patients who received laparoscopic operation had less blood loss (t=10.078 ,P ＜0.01 ), less time to resume oral intake(t =6.366,P ＜0.01 ) and earlier drainage tube removing ( t = 7.654, P ＜ 0.01 ), shorter hospital stay ( t = 4.241, P ＜ 0.01 ) and lower incidence of wound liquefaction ( x2 = 5. 203, P ＜ 0.05 ), though longer operation time ( t = 8.456, P ＜ 0.01 ) comparing with those receiving traditional operation. Among patients who received laparoscopic operation, there was no difference observed postoperatively in time to resume oral intake ( t = 0.356, P ＞ 0.05 ) and drainage tube removing (t = 0.261, P ＞ 0.05 ), and hospital stay (t = 0.248, P ＞ 0.05 ) between the hyperlipidemia group and normal blood lipid group, though the former suffered from more blood loss (t =8.784,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Hyperlipidemia impacts adversely on hemorrhage, delayed recovery and increasing rate of wound liquefaction on rectal cancer surgery. Laparoscopic surgery effectively eliminates prolonged postoperative recovery caused by hyperlipidemia.
