NSAID administration post colorectal surgery increases anastomotic leak rate: systematic review/meta-analysis.
Surgical Endoscopy 2019 March
BACKGROUND: Current enhanced recovery guidelines suggest that opioid sparing medications should be used for analgesia whenever possible following colorectal surgery. The present study aims to assess whether post-operative NSAID use is associated with an increased anastomotic leak rate after a colonic or rectal anastomosis.
METHODS: A systematic review was performed for studies investigating anastomotic leak rate following NSAID use vs control after colonic or rectal anastomosis. Meta-analysis was performed to assess for overall risk of anastomotic leak with NSAID use, as well as sub-group analysis to compare selective vs non-selective NSAIDs and drug-specific NSAID safety profiles.
RESULTS: Seven studies were included in the final review. Use of an NSAID post-operatively was associated with an overall increased risk of anastomotic leakage [OR 1.58 (1.23, 2.03), P = 0.0003]. Non-selective NSAIDs were associated with an increased risk [OR 1.79 (1.47, 2.18), P < 0.00001], but selective NSAIDs were not. The non-selective NSAID diclofenac was associated with an increased leak rate [OR 2.79 (1.96, 3.96), P < 0.00001], but ketorolac was not [OR 1.36 (0.89, 2.06), P = 0.16].
CONCLUSIONS: Great caution must be taken when prescribing NSAIDs following colonic or rectal anastomotic creation. The safety profile varies within the NSAID class and further research is needed to clarify which NSAIDs are safe for use and which are not.
