Prediction of short-term results after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Is sarcopenia superior to other methods?

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: We aimed to determine the factors that predict early mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and their superiority over each other.Method: Demographic data, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, American Society of Anesthesiologists Score, body mass index, modified-Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), stage of disease, and sarcopenia were evaluated in patients who underwent right hemicolectomy between 2010-2022.Their superiority in predicting short-term outcomes was compared.Results: 78 patients were included in the study.The complication rate was higher in sarcopenic patients (p = 0.002).A high mGPS score was associated with increased mortality risk (p = 0.012).Other methods were not found to be related to short-term results.Conclusions: Sarcopenia is useful for the prediction of complications, and the mortality rate can be estimated by the mGPS score.These are superior to the other short-term results prediction methods.However, randomized controlled studies are needed.
