TL;DR
Preoperative anemia is a significant risk factor for perioperative transfusion with significant increase in postoperative infectious complications and anastomotic complications after IPAA and strategies to correct preoperatively anemia, refine indications for transfusion, and define the use of blood salvage techniques may be helpful in decreasing this risk.
Abstract
Preoperative anemia is a significant risk factor for perioperative transfusion with significant increase in postoperative infectious complications and anastomotic complications after IPAA. Strategies to correct preoperative anemia, refine indications for transfusion, and define the use of blood salvage techniques may be helpful in decreasing this risk.

In cardiac surgery patients, especially when more than three blood transfusions are required, leukocyte depletion by filtration results in a significant reduction of the postoperative mortality that can only partially be explained by the higher incidence of postoperative infections in the PC group.

The data suggests that the association between allogeneic blood transfusion and postoperative infection is limited to allogeneed blood products that are not adequately depleted of immunosuppressive leucocytes, and can be reduced by leucocyte depletion with high-efficiency filters.

Neither the eligible group nor the curative group showed significant differences between the two trial transfusions in survival, disease-free survival, cancer recurrence rates, or overall infection rates after an average follow-up of 36 months, and the relation is not due to promotion of cancer.

There is limited evidence in the literature to support the use of mechanical bowel preparation in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, and there is a need for clinical trials comparing the more traditional, aggressive forms of bowel preparation with either no preparation or simpler techniques, such as a single phosphate enema.

Patients receiving more than 1 unit of blood were significantly more likely to have low preoperative serum albumin levels, to have undergone abdominoperineal or small bowel resection, and to have an ostomy, and blood transfusion was a more significant factor in postoperative immune suppression and susceptibility to infection than previously recognized.

Perioperative blood transfusions are reported to be related to cancer recurrence and reduced survival, and allogeneic leucocytes in transfused blood have been suggested to contribute to this phenomenon.

A previous meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) did not detect an immunomodulatory (TRIM) effect of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT), but if such a TRIM effect was mediated by white blood cell (WBC)‐derived soluble mediators accumulating during storage, however, stored autologous blood obtained by PABD would not prevent theTRIM effect.
