ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex multifactorial disease, usually manifested as hematochezia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.

Research motivation

Patients with rectal cancer are prone to stress ulcer (SU) after laparoscopic surgery.

Research objectives

This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for SU in patients with CRC after laparoscopic surgery, and construct a risk prediction nomogram model with clinical value based on these risk factors.

Research methods

This study was a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 135 patients with CRC who underwent laparoscopic surgery from November 2021 to June 2022. Risk factors for the development of postoperative SU were screened by univariate and multivariate regression analyses, and nomogram models were constructed based on these risk factors.

Research results

Among the 135 patients with CRC, 23 patients had postoperative SU, with an incidence of 17.04%.

Research conclusions

By comparing other studies, we found that most scholars emphasize the advantages of laparoscopic treatment of CRC, but there is a lack of research on its disadvantages. This study proposes that laparoscopic treatment of CRC is prone to SU, further analyzes its influencing factors, and establishes a predictive model with clinical value. This study proposed a new prediction model of SU after laparoscopic surgery in patients with CRC.

Research perspectives

Future research should be based on clinical observation, incorporating more possible influencing factors, and establishing a more practical predictive model.
