20.500.12556/DiRROS-24955 Colorectal-vaginal fistula after rectal cancer resection international comparative cohort study of characteristics and treatment A colorectal-vaginal fistula (CRVF) can occur as a complication of rectal cancer surgery. They can cause discomfort, repeated infection, need for treatment/further surgery, and a permanent stoma (an opening in the abdomen to collect bowel contents). This study looked at how often CRVF happened after surgery complicated by a leak where bowels ends have been joined together, how they were treated, and how likely patients were to live without a stoma 1 year after surgery. Researchers collected data on women from around the world who had rectal cancer surgery between 2014 and 2018 and developed a bowel leak (called anastomotic leakage). They compared those with and without a CRVF. A total of 88 out of 694 patients (12.7%) developed a CRVF. These patients more often had major surgery involving removal of nearby organs, including part of the vagina. They were more likely to have ongoing problems and needed more surgeries to manage them. Most had a temporary stoma, but only 29.5% could live without it after 1 year, compared with 48.7% of women without CRVF. CRVF is a serious complication that makes recovery harder. These patients are less likely to live without a stoma and usually need more surgery. However, if the leak is small, the chances of recovery without a permanent stoma are better. rectal fistula rectal cancer rectal resections postoperative complications anastomotic leak fistule danke rak danke resekcije danke postoperativni zapleti dehiscenca anastomoze true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-01-05 14:48:22 2026-01-05 14:48:23 2026-01-06 03:43:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 24. 11. 2025; str. 1-9 issue 11 Vol. 12 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616-089:616-006 1365-2168 10.1093/bjs/znaf189 258446851 RAZ_Van_Lieshout_Mila_L._2025.pdf RAZ_Van_Lieshout_Mila_L._2025.pdf 1 47543E7BE8CE60DC1D8EF4FF21820E62 39486532111eb489a2f4b44731eb39f1e8bc41aa0191debc381feff42df2156b 6542d3d4-ea3d-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37386 https://academic.oup.com/bjs/article/112/11/znaf189/8326593 0 7204ea86-ea3d-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37387 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
