Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: During 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2018, all patients who underwent circular end to end anastomosis (CEEA) for colorectal cancer at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center (SKMCH & RC), Pakistan were selected. It is a retrospective study with convenient sampling. The ethical approval was sought from Institutional Review Board (IRB) of SKMCH & RC. Data was collected through human information system (HIS), electronic database of SKMCH & RC. It is our practice to examine the donuts produced after stapled anastomosis which are then examined by consultant pathologists. Patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection and permanent colostomy were excluded because of unavailability of donuts. Variables recorded were age, gender, circumferential resection margin (CRM) , clinical T stage, involvement of proximal and distal margins, involvement of proximal and distal donuts , length of proximal and distal margins, length of proximal and distal donuts. Margins are found to be involved if the tumor was found with in 1 mm of margin. If there was any involvement of margins, the actions taken to tackle the condition were also recorded. Calculations were performed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 20) for Windows version 20 statistical software. Data was described using median with minimum and maximum value for skewly distributed quantitative variables. For categorical variables, number of observations and percentages were reported. The study is complied with the SKMCH and RC guidelines on research involving human subjects.
