Abstract:Objective To analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of complications after endoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal polyps.Methods The clinical data of 282 patients with colorectal polyps admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of Tongling People's Hospital from July 2023 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent EMR surgery or argon plasma coagulation under colonoscopy, and a telephone follow-up was conducted for 3 months postoperatively. Patients were divided into the combined group (n = 57) and the non-combined group (n = 225) according to whether complications occurred after surgery. The baseline data of the two groups were compared. The factors affecting the occurrence of complications after endoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal polyps and their predictive values for postoperative complications were analyzed. The incidence of complications in the two groups was recorded.Results The age of patients in the combined group was older than that in the non-combined group (P < 0.05). The operative duration in the combined group was longer than that in the non-combined group (P < 0.05). The proportion of patients with polyps > 2 cm in diameter, the proportion of patients using metallic clips during surgery, and the serum CRP level in the combined group were higher than those in the non-combined group (P < 0.05). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis (P = 0.05 for including variables and P = 0.10 for excluding variables) showed that older age [O^R = 1.237 (95% CI: 1.163, 1.315) ], polyp diameter > 2 cm [O^R = 7.358 (95% CI: 3.906, 13.862) ], higher serum CRP levels [O^R = 7.358 (95% CI: 1.837, 2.865) ], longer operative duration [O^R = 1.550 (95% CI: 1.363, 1.763) ] and intraoperative use of metallic clips [O^R = 3.658 (95% CI: 1.087, 12.313) ] were all risk factors for the occurrence of complications after endoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal polyps (P < 0.05). The area under the curve of the combination of all indicators for predicting postoperative complications was 0.979 (95% CI: 0.896, 1.000), with a sensitivity of 96.50% (95% CI: 0.856, 1.000), and a specificity of 96.00% (95% CI: 0.873, 1.000). A total of 67 patients experienced postoperative complications.Conclusions Older age, polyps > 2 cm in diameter, higher serum CRP levels, longer operative duration, and use of metallic clips during the operation may all increase the risk of occurrence of complications after endoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal polyps, and they could assist in predicting the occurrence of postoperative complications.
