AbstractDespite advances in coloanal anastomosis techniques, satisfactory procedures completed without complications remain lacking. We investigated the effectiveness of our recently developed ‘Short stump and High anastomosis Pull-through’ (SHiP) procedure for delayed coloanal anastomosis without a stoma. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality rates and local recurrence of 37 patients treated using SHiP procedure, out of the 282 patients affected by rectal cancer treated in our institution between 2012 and 2020. The inclusion criterion was that the rectal cancer be located within 4 cm from the anal margin. One patient died of local and pulmonary recurrence after 6 years, one developed lung and liver metastases after 2 years, and one experienced local recurrence 2.5 years after surgery. No major leak, retraction, or ischaemia of the colonic stump occurred; the perioperative mortality rate was zero. Five patients (13.51%) had early complications. Stenosis of the anastomosis, which occurred in nine patients (24.3%), was the only long-term complication; only three (8.1%) were symptomatic and were treated with endoscopic dilation. The mean Wexner scores at 24 and 36 months were 8.3 and 8.1 points, respectively. At the 36-month check-up, six patients (24%) had major LARS, ten (40%) had minor LARS, and nine (36%) had no LARS. The functional results in terms of LARS were similar to those previously reported after immediate coloanal anastomosis with protective stoma. The SHiP procedure resulted in a drastic reduction in major complications, and none of the patients had a stoma.

738 Background: The association of hospital and surgeon volume with the outcome of rectal cancer patients is under debate. In this study the long-term influence of the hospital as well as the surgeon volume on overall survival and local recurrence were investigated. Methods: In a post-hoc analysis of the randomized phase III CAO/ARO/AIO-94 trial after a follow-up of more than 10 years, 799 patients with locally advanced rectal cancers were evaluated. Survival and local recurrence rates were stratified by the hospital recruitment volume (≤20 vs. 21-90 vs. > 90 patients) and by the surgeon volume (≤10 vs. 11-50 vs. > 50 procedures). Results: Patients treated in „high-volume“ hospitals had a longer overall survival than those treated in hospitals with medium or low treatment volume (p = 0.03). The surgeon volume was significantly associated with decreased local recurrences (p = 0.01) but had no influence on overall survival. The effect of neoadjuvant chemoradiation on local control was the strongest in patients being operated by medium-volume surgeons. Conclusions: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancers might benefit from treatment in in specialized high-volume hospitals. In particular, the surgeon volume had significant influence on local control.
