First, do no harm: rethinking routine diversion in sphincter-preserving rectal cancer resection.
The authors hypothesized that routine temporary diversion is not associated with decreased rates of leak or reintervention in cancer patients at large undergoing sphincter-sparing procedures. Using HCUP data from the Florida State Inpatient Database, they found no association between diversion and anastomotic leak. However, temporary diversion was associated with increased incidence of nonelective reinterventions, readmissions, and higher costs. They recommended additional study to identify which patients would benefit most from diversion.
