AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of laparoscopic lateral seminal vesicle approach to preserve the bladder neck during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. METHODS: Between September 2020 and December 2022, we retrospectively analyzed patients with T1–T3b stage prostate cancer treated at our institution using the laparoscopic lateral seminal vesicle approach. We recorded the bladder neck preservation success rate, cystourethral anastomosis time, urinary catheter extraction time, length of hospital stay, and urinary control scores, including urine pad use, at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-catheter removal. Adverse events included rectal injury, bladder injury, ureteral injury and positive surgical margins. RESULTS: There were 56 patients (mean age 70 ± 5.8 years) The success rate of bladder neck preservation was 100%. The median cystourethral anastomosis time was 11 (9–14) minutes. The median postoperative hospital stay was 10 (9–11) days. The urinary continence rate was 83.9% (47/56) in 1 week, 89.3% (50/56) in 1 month and 98.2% (55/56) in 3 months. One patient developed adhesions caused by invasion of both seminal vesicles, which damaged the rectal wall. CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopic lateral seminal vesicle approach can preserve the bladder neck completely during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, improving postoperative urinary continence, with a high rate of immediate urinary continence, and significantly improving patients' quality of life.

Introduction: Primary chest wall tumors account for 5% of all thoracic neoplasms and 1% of all primary tumors. Chondrosarcoma is a rare solid tumor, with an annual incidence of <0.5 per million people per year. It predominantly occurs in the pelvis and femur, occasionally occurs in flat bones such as the sternum and ribs, and rarely invades lung tissue. Chest wall chondrosarcomas represent only 5–15% of all chondrosarcomas. Radical surgery often leads to a large range of chest wall defects, especially when the range exceeds 6 cm × 6 cm and involves the sternum, spine, or multiple consecutive ribs. The reconstruction of the chest wall bone should be considered to restore the integrity and stability of the chest, prevent chest wall softening and abnormal breathing, and ensure the stability of respiratory circulation. Chest wall reconstruction can help restore thoracic hardness and integrity, prevent lung hernia and abnormal breathing, while also ensuring a positive aesthetic outcome. The chest wall reconstruction includes reconstruction of the pleura, bony structures, and soft tissues. Case Report: In our case of an adult male, after the resection of the third and fourth anterior rib chondrosarcoma, the common anatomical plate was shaped and fixed to the stump of the third rib with screws to ensure the stability of the thorax while retaining the mobility of the thorax. After applying hernia mesh pruning, the chest wall defect was stitched to complete the pleural reconstruction of the defect area. This procedure can effectively maintain the stability of the pleural cavity, provide more effective support for the chest wall soft tissue, and promote the recovery of upper limb function and lung function. Conclusion: The radical surgery of giant chest wall chondrosarcoma often leads to a large range of chest wall defects. Chest wall reconstruction needs to be carried out at the same time to restore the integrity and stability of the chest wall, to avoid chest wall softening and abnormal breathing, and to ensure the stability of respiratory circulation. Using the “sandwich” method for chest wall reconstruction, in which an anatomical plate is combined with hernia mesh and muscle soft tissue, and during which pleura, bony structure, and soft tissues are reconstructed, can provide more effective support for chest wall soft tissue, effectively prevent postoperative muscle tissue collapse, avoid postoperative abnormal breathing, and promote the recovery of postoperative upper limb function and lung function. It is a very effective method for chest wall reconstruction.

Background: Hydatid cyst of the liver induced by Echinococcus granulosus is a pervasive zoonotic disease in our region. Its incidence varies across age groups, contingent on community lifespans and hygiene standards. Therapeutic modalities include Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Re-aspiration (PAIR), and surgery. Due the limited feasability of PAIR, we suggest that surgery represents the optimal treatment in all stages, especially in endemic regions, depending on patient-specific variables. Method: Patients with hydatid cyst of the liver treated with PAIR and surgery in our center between January 2016 and January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. PAIR or cystectomy were applied in treatment. These were then compared in terms of efficacy, feasibility, and complications. Results: A single hydatid cyst of the liver was detected in 184 of the 225 cases, two cysts in 33, and three or more cysts in eight. The largest cyst diameter was 233 × 124 mm in the surgery group and 100 × 90 mm in the PAIR group. One hundred thirty-three of the 225 patients underwent open surgery, and no recurrence was encountered in these. However, recurrence was observed 19 patients treated with PAIR. Allergic reaction developed in one case during surgery, postoperative abscess in two cases, biliary fistula in five, and pneumonia in one. Conclusion: Surgical treatment should represent the standard procedure since it is safe and effective, ensures complete elimination of the parasite, involves no intraoperative shedding, preserves healthy tissues, and minimizes the risk of long-term recurrence and cavity-related complications.

Objective: The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after traumatic fracture is high, and DVT causes serious adverse effects on the postoperative recovery of patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of coagulation-related indicators combined with vascular ultrasound measurements for the risk assessment of DVT after secondary traumatic fracture, and to provide a new method for predicting the occurrence of DVT. Methods: The clinical data of patients with secondary traumatic fracture surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a non-DVT group and a DVT group according to whether DVT was indicated in the medical record system. The coagulation-related indices and vascular ultrasound measurements of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors for postoperative DVT were analyzed by bivariate correlation and multivariate logistic regression. Results: According to the medical record system, 55 patients (47.41%) had DVT, and 61 patients (52.59%) did not have DVT. There was no significant difference in prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) between the two groups (p > 0.05). The thrombin time (TT) in the DVT group was lower than that in the non-DVT group. The levels of fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer (D-D) in the DVT group were higher than those in the non-DVT group (t = 2.766, 3.242, 2.649, p = 0.007, 0.002, 0.009). Spearman correlation analysis showed that peak systolic velocity (Vs), end-diastolic velocity (Vd), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), FIB, and D-D were positively correlated with the risk of DVT after secondary traumatic fracture surgery (r = 0.264, 0.656, 0.293, 0.276, 0.287, 0.251, p < 0.05). TT was negatively correlated with DVT risk after secondary traumatic fracture surgery (r = –0.249, p < 0.05). The measurements of peak systolic velocity (Vs), end diastolic velocity (Vd), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) in the DVT group were higher than those in the non-DVT group (t = 2.663, 2.998, 3.135, 2.953, p = 0.009, 0.003, 0.002, 0.004). FIB, D-D, Vs, Vd, PI, and RI were independent risk factors for DVT after secondary traumatic fracture surgery (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.483, 2.026, 2.208, 1.893, 1.820, 1.644, p < 0.05). TT index was an independent protective factor for DVT after secondary traumatic fracture surgery (OR = 0.868, p < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity for prediction of DVT based on combined coagulation-related indicators and vascular ultrasound imaging measurements were higher than those of individual measurements (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Coagulation-related indicators and vascular ultrasound parameters can effectively predict the formation of DVT. Through the analysis of factors related to DVT formation, screening of high-risk patients for effective intervention may help to reduce the risk of DVT. Further verification in additional, large-scale clinical trials is adv

Background: The degree of postoperative pain and defecation function in colorectal cancer will affect patients' prognosis. Therefore, exploring the correlation between postoperative pain and defecation function, and analyzing the related factors, will help to improve the quality of patients' prognosis. Methods: A total of 94 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected for study. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain level of the patients. The low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scale was used to evaluate bowel function of the patients, and the incidence of LARS was recorded. The patients were grouped according to whether or not they had the complications of LARS, and they were divided into the groups of concurrent LARS and non-concurrent LARS. The patients' anorectal pressure was measured, and the measurements included maximum tolerated volume (MTV), anorectal resting pressure (ARP), and maximum squeeze pressure (MSP). Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to test associations between anal defecation function and postoperative pain and anorectal manometry. Logistic regression was used to test predictors of concurrent LARS, and the value of each of the indices for prediction of LARS was examined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results: Patients' VAS scores were positively correlated with LARS scores (p < 0.05). A total of 22 patients with VAS score ≥20 points were found to have a LARS incidence of 23.40% based on the LARS score. The VAS score was higher in the concurrent LARS group than in the non-concurrent LARS group (p < 0.05). The concurrent LARS group had a higher percentage of patients with age ≥60 years, body mass index ≥24 kg/m2, anastomotic position <5 cm from the anal verge, preoperative radiotherapy, and anastomotic fistula than the non-current LARS group (p < 0.05). The levels of MTV, ARP, and MSP were lower in patients in the concurrent LARS group than in the non-current LARS group (p < 0.05). Patients' LARS scores were negatively correlated with MTV (r = –0.420), ARP (r = –0.300) and MSP (r = –0.220) levels (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that anastomotic position <5 cm from the anal verge, preoperative radiotherapy, anastomotic fistula, high VAS level, and low MTV level were all significant predictors of concurrent LARS. Anastomotic position, whether or not radiotherapy was administered preoperatively, anastomotic fistula, VAS score, and MSP level all had high sensitivity and specificity for prediction of concurrent LARS, and the combined area under the curve (AUC) of each index was 0.921, sensitivity was 0.818, and specificity was 0.944. Conclusion: LARS is strongly associated with the patient's pain level, and factors such as anastomotic position <5 cm from the anal verge, preoperative radiotherapy, anastomotic fistula, high VAS level, and low MTV level will increase the risk of concurrent LAR
背景：结直肠癌术后疼痛程度和排便功能会影响患者的预后。因此，探讨术后疼痛与排便功能的相关性并分析相关因素，将有助于改善患者的预后质量。研究方法回顾性选取我院 2022 年 3 月至 2023 年 6 月收治的 94 例结直肠癌患者作为研究对象。采用视觉模拟量表（VAS）评估患者的疼痛程度。低位前切除综合征（LARS）量表用于评估患者的肠功能，并记录 LARS 的发生率。根据患者是否出现 LARS 并发症进行分组，分为并发 LARS 组和非并发 LARS 组。测量患者的肛门直肠压力，包括最大耐受量（MTV）、肛门直肠静息压（ARP）和最大挤压力（MSP）。采用皮尔逊相关系数检验肛门排便功能与术后疼痛和肛门直肠测压之间的关联。使用 Logistic 回归检验并发 LARS 的预测因素，并使用接收器操作特征（ROC）检验每个指数预测 LARS 的价值。结果显示患者的 VAS 评分与 LARS 评分呈正相关（P < 0.05）。根据 LARS 评分，VAS 评分≥20 分的患者共有 22 人，LARS 发生率为 23.40%。并发 LARS 组的 VAS 评分高于非并发 LARS 组（P < 0.05）。与非并发 LARS 组相比，并发 LARS 组患者中年龄≥60 岁、体重指数≥24 kg/m2、吻合口位置距肛门边缘 <5 cm、术前接受过放疗和吻合口瘘的比例更高（P < 0.05）。并发 LARS 组患者的 MTV、ARP 和 MSP 水平低于非并发 LARS 组（P < 0.05）。患者的 LARS 评分与 MTV（r = -0.420）、ARP（r = -0.300）和 MSP（r = -0.220）水平呈负相关（P < 0.05）。逻辑回归分析表明，吻合口位置距肛缘小于 5 厘米、术前放疗、吻合口瘘、高 VAS 水平和低 MTV 水平都是并发 LARS 的重要预测因素。吻合口位置、术前是否放疗、吻合口瘘、VAS评分和MSP水平对并发LARS的预测均有较高的灵敏度和特异性，各指标的曲线下面积（AUC）之和为0.921，灵敏度为0.818，特异性为0.944。结论LARS与患者的疼痛程度密切相关，吻合口位置距肛缘小于5厘米、术前放疗、吻合口瘘、VAS水平高和MTV水平低等因素会增加患者并发LARS的风险。

Objective: Hysteroscopic surgery will stimulate the autonomic nerves innervating the uterus, causing intense discomfort and pain in the examined person, and in severe cases, it will cause blood pressure drop, heart rate slowing, arrhythmia and even cardiac arrest, so most patients need anesthetic intervention. This study to retrospectively compare the anesthetic effect of remimazolam and propofol in minimally invasive painless hysteroscopic surgery and to explore the safety and efficacy of remimazolam. Methods: The clinical data of 110 female patients who underwent painless hysteroscopic minimally invasive surgery in our hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 were collected. The patients were divided into the remimazolam group (group R, n = 55) and the propofol group (group P, n = 55) according to the main anesthetic drugs used during the operation. The changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and respiratory rate (RR) at the time of entry (T0), modified vigilance/sedation score (MOAA/S) 0 (T1), cervical dilation (T2), end of the operation (T3) and anesthesia recovery (T4) were compared between the two groups. Anesthesia induction time, operation time, and anesthesia recovery time were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative adverse reactions was compared between the two groups. Results: HR, MAP, and SpO2 in group R were significantly higher than those in group P at T1, T2, T3, and T4 (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in RR between the two groups (p > 0.05). HR, MAP, and SpO2 at T1 and T2 were significantly lower than those at T0 in group R (p < 0.05), and RR at different time points in the group had no significant difference (p > 0.05). HR, MAP, and SpO2 at T1, T2, T3, and T4 were significantly lower than those at T0 in group P (p < 0.01), and RR at different time points in the same group had no significant difference (p > 0.05). The anesthesia induction time in group R was more prolonged than in group P, and the anesthesia recovery time in group R was shorter than in group P (p < 0.05). The incidences of hypotension, bradycardia, low oxygen saturation, respiratory depression, and injection pain in group R were significantly lower than those in group P (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Intravenous induction of remimazolam at 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 and maintenance of anesthesia at 1–2 mg·kg-1·h-1 have less effect on hemodynamics, faster recovery time and lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with propofol when used in minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery. Remimazolam can be safely and effectively used in this kind of surgery.
目的：宫腔镜手术会刺激支配子宫的自主神经，使受术者产生强烈的不适感和疼痛感，严重者会引起血压下降、心率减慢、心律失常甚至心跳骤停，因此大多数患者需要麻醉干预。本研究旨在回顾性比较瑞美唑仑和异丙酚在无痛宫腔镜微创手术中的麻醉效果，探讨瑞美唑仑的安全性和有效性。研究方法收集2023年1月至2023年6月在我院接受无痛宫腔镜微创手术的110例女性患者的临床资料。根据手术中使用的主要麻醉药物，将患者分为雷马唑仑组（R 组，n = 55）和丙泊酚组（P 组，n = 55）。比较两组在入室（T0）、改良警觉/镇静评分（MOAA/S）0（T1）、宫颈扩张（T2）、手术结束（T3）和麻醉恢复（T4）时的心率（HR）、平均动脉压（MAP）、血氧饱和度（SpO2）和呼吸频率（RR）的变化。比较两组的麻醉诱导时间、手术时间和麻醉恢复时间，并比较两组术中和术后不良反应的发生率。结果R组在T1、T2、T3和T4的HR、MAP和SpO2明显高于P组（P＜0.05），两组的RR无明显差异（P＞0.05）。R 组 T1 和 T2 时的 HR、MAP 和 SpO2 明显低于 T0 时（P < 0.05），该组不同时间点的 RR 无明显差异（P > 0.05）。P组在T1、T2、T3和T4时的HR、MAP和SpO2均明显低于T0时（P＜0.01），同组不同时间点的RR无明显差异（P＞0.05）。R 组的麻醉诱导时间比 P 组更长，而 R 组的麻醉恢复时间比 P 组更短（P < 0.05）。R 组低血压、心动过缓、低血氧饱和度、呼吸抑制和注射疼痛的发生率明显低于 P 组（P < 0.05）。结论与异丙酚相比，在宫腔镜微创手术中使用6 mg-kg-1-h-1剂量的雷马唑仑静脉诱导和1-2 mg-kg-1-h-1剂量的麻醉维持对血流动力学的影响更小，恢复时间更快，不良反应发生率更低。雷马唑仑可安全有效地用于此类手术。

Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation and liver resection in the therapeutic management of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Method: We conducted a comprehensive search of domestic and foreign databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang to retrieve literature on radiofrequency ablation and liver resection for the treatment of early hepatocellular carcinoma. The retrieved literature underwent thorough screening, and relevant data were extracted. Following the evaluation of the literature's quality, Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results: In this study, a total of 11 documents were selected, comprising 1334 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Meta-analysis results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in the 1-year overall survival rate [Relative risk (RR) = 1.01, 95% confidence intervals (CI) (0.98; 1.04)] and the 3-year overall survival rate [RR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.90; 1.01)] between the radiofrequency ablation and liver resection groups (p > 0.05). Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference in the 1-year disease-free survival rate [RR = 0.94, 95% CI (0.87; 1.01)] between the two groups. However, the 3-year disease-free survival rate [RR = 0.84, 95% CI (0.74; 0.96)] of patients in the radiofrequency ablation group was significantly lower than that in the hepatectomy group (p < 0.05). Notably, the incidence of complications [RR = 0.42, 95% CI (0.33; 0.55)] was significantly lower in the radiofrequency ablation group compared to the hepatectomy group. Conversely, the local recurrence rate [RR = 1.45, 95% CI (1.22; 1.73)] was significantly higher in the radiofrequency ablation group compared to the hepatectomy group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: During the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatectomy demonstrates superior clinical efficacy compared to radiofrequency ablation, particularly in its ability to control tumor recurrence. However, radiofrequency ablation presents with fewer complications and a higher level of safety. These findings can serve as a valuable foundation for clinicians when selecting the most suitable treatment approaches for liver cancer.
目的：系统评估射频消融术和肝切除术在早期肝细胞癌治疗中的有效性和安全性：系统评估射频消融术和肝切除术在早期肝细胞癌治疗中的有效性和安全性：我们对国内外数据库进行了全面检索，包括PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、Cochrane Library、中国国家知识基础设施（CNKI）和万方数据库，检索有关射频消融和肝切除治疗早期肝细胞癌的文献。对检索到的文献进行了全面筛选，并提取了相关数据。在对文献质量进行评估后，使用RevMan 5.4软件进行了Meta分析：本研究共选取了 11 篇文献，包括 1334 名肝细胞癌患者。Meta 分析结果显示，射频消融组和肝切除组的 1 年总生存率[相对风险 (RR) = 1.01，95% 置信区间 (CI) (0.98; 1.04)]和 3 年总生存率[RR = 0.95，95% CI (0.90; 1.01)]差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。同样，两组间的 1 年无病生存率[RR = 0.94，95% CI (0.87; 1.01)]也无显著统计学差异。然而，射频消融组患者的 3 年无病生存率[RR = 0.84，95% CI (0.74; 0.96)]明显低于肝切除组（P < 0.05）。值得注意的是，射频消融组的并发症发生率[RR = 0.42，95% CI (0.33; 0.55)]明显低于肝切除组。相反，射频消融组的局部复发率[RR = 1.45，95% CI (1.22; 1.73)]明显高于肝切除组（P < 0.05）：结论：在肝细胞癌的治疗过程中，肝切除术的临床疗效优于射频消融术，尤其是在控制肿瘤复发方面。不过，射频消融术的并发症更少，安全性更高。这些发现为临床医生选择最适合的肝癌治疗方法提供了宝贵的依据。

Background: Kidney stones are one of the most common benign diseases in urology. As technology updates and iterates, more minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgeries with higher safety performance appear. This paper explores the effectiveness of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in treating kidney stones, focusing on their effects on inflammatory responses and renal function. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 200 patients with kidney stones treated in our hospital between June 2019 and June 2023. 100 patients who underwent RIRS were included in the RIRS group. Another 100 patients who underwent PCNL treatment were included in the PCNL group. The intraoperative blood loss, operation duration, and hospitalization time of the two groups of patients were recorded and compared. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum of the two groups of patients: [serum amyloid A (SAA), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP)] and renal function index [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Scr) and serum cystatin (Cys-c)]. The two groups of patients were recorded separately: Postoperative complications and stone-free rate. Results: Operation duration was longer for the RIRS group than the PCNL group, which exhibited significantly less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stays (p < 0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the serum levels of SAA, IL-6, and CRP between the two groups of patients (p > 0.05). On the first day after surgery, the serum SAA levels in both groups were lower than before surgery, IL-6 and CRP levels were higher than before surgery, and the serum levels of SAA, IL-6, and CRP in the RIRS group were significantly lower than those in the PCNL group. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the serum BUN, Scr, and Cys-c levels between the two groups of patients (p > 0.05). On the first day after surgery, the serum BUN, Scr, and Cys-c levels of the two groups of patients were significantly higher than those before surgery. The serum BUN, Scr, and Cys-c levels of the RIRS group were significantly lower than those of the PCNL group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Both surgical methods have sound stone-clearing effects regarding long-term stone clearance rates 1 month and 3 months after surgery (p > 0.05). PCNL had a better stone clearance rate on the 2nd postoperative day (p < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the RIRS group was significantly lower than that in the PCNL group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: For kidney stones ≤2 cm, PCNL showed higher stone clearance rates on the second postoperative day. However, RIRS and PCNL demonstrated adequate long-term stone clear

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a frequent complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), may lead to severe conditions like pulmonary embolism. Current knowledge on postoperative DVT risk factors is, however, limited. The aim of our study was to investigate the risk of DVT after PCNL. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent PCNL from March 2020 to March 2023 at our institution. Patient demographics and clinical data, including, DVT-specific information, preoperative labs, and surgical details, was evaluated. Results: One hundred patients were included. Thirty-two (20 males, 12 females, mean age 52.5 ± 7.4 years) developed lower limb DVT post-surgery, while the remaining 68 (48 males, 20 females, mean age 51.1 ± 5.5 years) had no DVT symptoms. Analysis revealed significant correlations between hyperlipidemia, operating time, postoperative bed rest duration, D-dimer level on the first day after surgery, Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) score, and DVT risk. D-dimer on the first day after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, postoperative bed rest time and Caprini RAM scores were independent risk factors for DVT after PCNL. Sex, age, hypertension status, diabetes status and smoking and drinking habits were not significantly associated with DVT risk. Conclusions: D-dimer on the first day after PCNL, postoperative bed rest time and Caprini RAM scores were independent risk factors for DVT after PCNL.

Background: Pretreatment levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and perineural invasion (PNI) are related to poor prognosis in colon cancer. We analyzed the CEA and PNI (defined as incorporation of carcinoembryonic antigen and perineural invasion (CP)-stage), which are included in the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), and evaluated the survival prognosis of patients treated with surgery in I-III stage colon carcinoma. Materials and Methods: We employed a retrospective study for eligible colon carcinoma patients obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. Kaplan-Meier curve and Multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to analyze different TNM-CP stages for the cancer-specific survival (CSS) probabilities in colon cancer. Result: In our study, CEA levels and PNI were significant prognostic factors (p < 0.05), and the newly proposed CP-stage was an independent prognostic index in stage I-III colon carcinoma after surgery. Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that CP1-stage was related to a 63.9% increased risk of cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 1.639, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.544–1.739, p < 0.001), compared with CP0-stage in colon cancer. In respective TNM stages, the CP0-stage had an advantage over the CP1-stage for CSS (p < 0.001). Moreover, CP1-stage patients with node-negative colon cancer were contacted with similar or worse survival in comparison to CP0-stage patients with node-positive. Conclusion: For postoperative patients with stage I-III colon cancer, our study indicated that the CP stage is a significant prognostic factor for CSS, which deserves more clinical attention. It's worth noting that including the CP stage in the AJCC TNM staging system of colon carcinoma is beneficial to the survival prediction and clinical treatment.
