Same-Day Colectomy: is it Safe for Patients?

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a prospective cohort study of outcomes of patients undergoing outpatient colorectal surgery at a single institution to study outpatient colectomy as a viable treatment option for a select group of patients requiring colon and rectal surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 70 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Ages 18-70
  2. * Undergoing robotic-assisted right colectomy, sigmoidectomy, or low anterior resection.
  3. * Able to perform greater than 4 metabolic equivalents (METS) without shortness of breath
  4. * Must have a designated adult who can care for them at home postoperatively until their in-person clinic visit
  5. * Access to a cell phone or computer and running water.
  6. * Successfully completed pre-operative and post-operative education
  7. * Medical criteria:
  8. * Well controlled hypertension with systolic blood pressure \< 140 controlled by less than two medications which they are compliant with
  9. * Well controlled diabetes on oral agents only with blood glucose level \< 180 on daily checks
  10. * Anti-platelet agents including aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor or ticlopidine will be stopped 7 days preoperatively and restarted on postoperative day 1. See exclusion criteria 7 for specific exclusion criteria regarding antiplatelet agents.
  1. * Medical criteria:
  2. * Neurocognitive deficits not allowing for adequate preoperative education
  3. * Congestive heart failure with EF \< 45%
  4. * Symptomatic aortic stenosis causing heart failure, syncope, dyspnea or angina
  5. * Pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary hypertension
  6. * COPD or home oxygen use \> 2L
  7. * Chronic kidney disease of any stage.
  8. * Lack of a caregiver at home or functionally bed-bound
  9. * Ultralow pelvic resection
  10. * Need for ostomy creation intraoperatively
  11. * Operative time greater than 5 hours as this likely indicates a complex case and dissection necessitating closer monitoring in the hospital
  12. * Conversion to open procedure intraoperatively
  13. * Patients receiving antiplatelet agents such as clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor or ticlopidine within one year of coronary or carotid stent implantation, TAVR or LAAO placement.
  14. * Patients on therapeutic anticoagulation medications such as warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto, Enoxaparin
  15. * Current tobacco use
  16. * Patients who were unable to complete preoperative education, do not feel comfortable with care at home, or do not have an available caregiver for the first 7 postoperative days
  17. * Any surgical history that would preclude safe abdominal entry for robotic surgery
