Table 2. Perioperative Outcomes.
Outcome | Patients, No. (%) | Median difference or RR (95% CI)a | |
---|---|---|---|
Laparotomy arm (n = 47) | MIS arm (n = 48) | ||
Length of stay, median (IQR), d | 4 (3-6) | 1 (0-4) | median: −3 (−4 to −2) |
Estimated blood loss, median (IQR), mL | 200 (100-400) | 100 (50-250) | median: −100 (−166 to −33) |
Any intraoperative complication | 3 (6) | 3 (6) | RR: 0.98 (0.21-4.61) |
Any postoperative complication | 12 (26) | 4 (8) | RR: 0.33 (0.11-0.94) |
Any gross residual disease | 8 (17) | 6 (13) | RR: 0.73 (0.28-1.95) |
Abbreviations: MIS, minimally invasive surgery; NA, not applicable; RR, relative risk.
Median differences are for continuous and discrete variables; RRs are for binary variables.
