Congenital factor V (FV) deficiency is a rare hemorrhagic disorder that can cause excessive bleeding during and after surgery in the affected patient. This report is the case of a patient who had FV deficiency with recurrent posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding treated with the hemostatic procedure and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusions. A 45-year-old male patient had previously undergone hemorrhoidectomy for multiple hemorrhoids at a local hospital. Hemorrhoidectomy was successful; however, he was transferred to our hospital for evaluation of the origin of the recurrent posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding and underwent a hemostatic procedure. This bleeding was treated with coagulation using electrocautery, multiple sutures, and FFP transfusion (1,600 mL/day) for 7 consecutive days. The patient’s plasma FV activity was 23%. Early detection of clotting factor deficiency in patients with hemorrhagic events after surgical treatments may prevent unnecessary procedures such as reoperations and minimize the cost of replacement therapy such as large-volume FFP transfusion.

Purpose There is a concern that enhanced recovery after surgery may affect other proposed quality measures, including the rate of readmission due to early discharge. We examine the 30-day readmission rate, risk factors associated with readmission after elective colorectal surgery for colon cancer, causes of readmission, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) in a single institution.
Methods We retrospectively investigated 292 patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery for colon cancer between 2010 and 2015. Baseline data including age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, preoperative comorbidities, previous operation history, TNM stage, surgical approach, operation time, gas passage time, and length of hospital stay were obtained. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with 30-day readmission.
Results A total of 229 patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery were enrolled. Twenty-four patients were readmitted 30 days after discharge. The most common readmission diagnoses were wound bleeding or surgical site infection. Multivariate analysis indicated that patients who had preoperative hepatic disease were at the highest risk of readmission (odds ratio [OR], 8.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 7.35–10.61). Survival outcomes were significantly better in the nonreadmitted group (OS, P=0.00; DFS, P=0.04).
Conclusion This study identified that preoperative comorbidities including hepatic and pulmonary diseases were associated with higher readmission rates after elective colorectal surgery. Moreover, the most common cause of readmission in patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery was wound bleeding or surgical site infection.
