BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1153-1161, December 2020., 2020 This retrospective study compared two classification tools, the Dutch region count and the Peritoneal Cancer Index, for colorectal peritoneal metastases, and validated the results in a separate cohort. The region count was easier to apply, and may benefit doctors who refer patients to expert centres.

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1015-1021, December 2020., 2020 This meta‐analysis investigated the influence of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on outcomes after upper gastrointestinal surgery. SDD led to a reduction in anastomotic leakage (odds ratio (OR) 0·39, 95 per cent c.i. 0·19 to 0·80; P = 0·010) and pneumonia (OR 0·42, 0·23 to 0·78; P = 0·006).

Obese patients and robotic colorectal surgery: systematic review and meta‐analysis
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1042-1053, December 2020., 2020 Obesity is a major health problem that doubles the chance of colorectal cancer. The benefits of robotic surgery for colorectal operations in obese patients versus non‐obese patients are unknown. This meta‐analysis and systematic review highlights that robotic surgery in obese patients is similar and feasible compared with that in non‐obese patients ...

Accuracy of faecal immunochemical testing in patients with symptomatic colorectal cancer
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1180-1188, December 2020., 2020 This study confirmed that the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) has a high diagnostic accuracy for detecting colorectal cancer in symptomatic patients. FIT can be used to triage 2‐week‐wait colorectal referrals. FIT tests to streamline pathways Background The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the faecal immunochemical test ...

Chemical signature of colorectal cancer: case–control study for profiling the breath print
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1189-1199, December 2020., 2020 Available screening methods for colorectal cancer have poor reliability and low patient compliance. Cancer cells produce altered metabolites, which are transported in the bloodstream and released in the alveoli; these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be detected in exhaled breath.

Tumour growth rate of carcinoma of the colon and rectum: retrospective cohort study
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1200-1207, December 2020., 2020 Few studies have evaluated the growth pattern of colorectal cancer. Forty‐three patients who underwent CT twice more than 5 weeks apart were included over a 2‐year interval. The median doubling time was 211 days, with a concerning suggestion of tumour progression.

Australasian ACPGBI risk prediction model for 30‐day mortality after colorectal cancer surgery
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1208-1216, December 2020., 2020 The aim was to test the Association of Coloproctologists of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) original (2003) and revised (2010) models as predictors of 30‐day mortality in an Australian patient cohort, and then recalibrate these models using data from Australian patients.

Colorectal Disease, Volume 22, Issue 12, Page 2232-2242, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim The aim was to develop and operationally define ‘performance metrics’ that characterize a reference approach to robotic‐assisted low anterior resection (RA‐LAR) and to obtain face and content validity through a consensus meeting. Method Three senior colorectal surgeons with robotic experience and a senior behavioural scientist formed the ...
