Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Calculation postoperative of the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) for each patient

    The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)summarises all postoperative complications based on the established Clavien-Dindo classification (ranging from mild complications not leading to a deviation from the normal clinical course (grade I) up to postoperative death (grade V)) at an individual patient level according to their grade of severity.

    An average of 1 year from the date of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer until the date of when the patient's condition is stabilized without complications

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Postoperative hospitalization days

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Readmission rates

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • The number of hospitalizations

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • First hospitalization costs

    During hospitalization,approximately 7 days

  • Total hospitalization costs

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Whether patients undergo terminal ostomy after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • The number of participants with ghost ileostomy converted to diverting ileostomy

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • The number of patients who required secondary abdominal surgery under general anesthesia due to complications

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • +2 more other outcomes
