Abstract

Aim

The aim of this work is to develop and operationally define performance metrics that characterize a reference approach to circular stapling anastomosis during minimally invasive left-sided colorectal resection and to obtain face and content validity through a consensus meeting.

Method

Three expert colorectal surgeons with advanced experience with minimally invasive surgery, a senior behavioural scientist and a research fellow with experience in performance metrics development formed the Metrics Group. Technical support was provided by device engineers. Published guidelines, training materials, manufacturers' instructions for use and unedited videos of circular stapling anastomosis in minimally invasive left-sided colorectal resection were used to deconstruct the task into defined, observable performance units or metrics (i.e. procedural phases, steps, errors and critical errors). The performance metrics were then subjected to detailed review by 16 expert colorectal surgeons in a modified Delphi process.

Results

Performance metrics for circular stapling anastomosis during minimally invasive left-sided colorectal resection had three procedural phases with 32 steps, 40 errors and 38 critical errors. After the modified Delphi process the agreed performance metrics consisted of three procedural phases, 36 steps, 42 errors and 39 critical errors. A group of expert colorectal surgeons from Europe verified the face and content of these metrics. After discussion, all procedural phases received unanimous consensus by the Delphi panel.

Conclusion

Circular stapling anastomosis during the minimally invasive approach to left-sided colorectal resection can be broken down into procedural phases and steps, with errors and critical errors known as performance metrics. We consider the metrics essential for the development of structured training in using circular stapling anastomosis in the minimally invasive approach to left-sided colorectal resection.

期刊介绍： Diseases of the colon and rectum are common and offer a number of exciting challenges. Clinical, diagnostic and basic science research is expanding rapidly. There is increasing demand from purchasers of health care and patients for clinicians to keep abreast of the latest research and developments, and to translate these into routine practice. Technological advances in diagnosis, surgical technique, new pharmaceuticals, molecular genetics and other basic sciences have transformed many aspects of how these diseases are managed. Such progress will accelerate. Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research relating to the demanding, rapidly expanding field of colorectal diseases. Essential for surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, gastroenterologists and health professionals caring for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract, Colorectal Disease furthers education and inter-professional development by including regular review articles and discussions of current controversies. Note that the journal does not usually accept paediatric surgical papers.
