However, very few patients having rectal surgery were included in these studies.

The incidence of symptomatic anastomotic leakage was similar in the two groups (8 versus 10 per cent respectively; P = 1\u00b7000). Although not significant, peritonitis occurred more frequently in the absence of MBP (2 versus 6 per cent; P = 0\u00b7294). A trend towards a higher rate of infectious complications was noted in patients who had MBP (23 versus 12 per cent; P = 0\u00b7141), but MBP was associated with a significantly higher rate of infectious extra-abdominal complications (11 versus 0 per cent; P = 0\u00b7014). Mean hospital stay was significantly longer in the MBP group (12 versus 10 days; P = 0\u00b7022).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elective rectal surgery for cancer without MBP may be associated with reduced postoperative morbidity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.5524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,26]],"date-time":"2007-07-26T10:18:22Z","timestamp":1185445102000},"page":"1266-1271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Rectal cancer surgery without mechanical bowel preparation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"F","family":"Bretagnol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Colorectal Surgery, Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Colorectal Surgery, Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Ricci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Valleur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y","family":"Panis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Colorectal Surgery, Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070907374213300_bib1","first-page":"323","article-title":"Preoperative preparation of the colon","volume":"132","author":"Nichols","year":"1971","journal-title":"Surg Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"2021070907374213300_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(79)90014-X","article-title":"A controlled trial of whole gut lavage as a method of bowel preparation for colonic operations","volume":"137","author":"Chung","year":"1979","journal-title":"Am J Surg"},{"key":"2021070907374213300_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"598","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800810439","article-title":"Prospective randomized study of preoperative bowel cleansing for patients undergoing colorectal surgery","volume":"81","author":"Wolters","year":"1994","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2021070907374213300_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"609","DOI":"10.1093\/clind\/24.4.609","article-title":"Current practices of preoperative bowel preparation among North American colorectal surgeons","volume":"24","author":"Nichols","year":"1997","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"2021070907374213300_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02055384","article-title":"Mechanical bowel preparation for elective colorectal surgery.
