BACKGROUND: The surgical procedure of choice for the resection of @entity14 has shifted in favor of laparoscopic surgery. Although increasing data prove advantages of elective laparoscopic surgery, less is known about the results in acute indications such as surgical re-interventions following colorectal resections. This study aims to assess the clinical benefits in recovery following laparoscopic re-interventions compared with open re-interventions following laparoscopic @entity14 surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We performed an analysis of data from the Dutch Surgical Colorectal Audit from January 2010 to December 2012. All @entity1 requiring surgical re-intervention after initial laparoscopic colorectal surgery were analyzed. RESULTS: Out of 27,448 @entity1 , 11,856 underwent laparoscopic surgery. Following laparoscopic surgery, 159 @entity1 (1.3%) had a laparoscopic re-intervention, and 659 @entity1 (5.6%) had an open re-intervention. In a multivariable analysis adjusting for @entity1 ' demographics and risk factors, the length of hospital stay was 17 days (interquartile range, 11-16 days) for the laparoscopic group and 23 days (interquartile range, 14-37 days) for the open group (odds ratio [OR]=0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.84). In the laparoscopic group the intensive care unit admission rate was 39% compared with 66% in the open group. The 30-day mortality rate was 7 (4%) in the laparoscopic group compared with 89 (14%) in the open group (OR=0.31; 95% CI, 0.13-0.73). CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic re-intervention following laparoscopic surgery for @entity14 is feasible in selected @entity1 . Because of the unknown extent of selection bias, prospective studies are needed to define the exact position and benefits of laparoscopic re-interventions.
