Key result
Neostigmine administration during anesthesia for total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis was associated with a higher postoperative anastomotic leakage rate compared to no neostigmine (36% vs 4%).

Neostigmine may increase leak risk after colectomy; hypothesis-generating observational data requiring RCTs before practice change.
Cohort
Does neostigmine increase the risk of postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis?
Absolute Event Rate: 36% vs 4%
Administration of neostigmine to reverse muscle relaxants during total colectomy is associated with a significantly increased risk of postoperative anastomotic leakage.
Bell et al. (1968) conducted a cohort in Chronic ulcerative colitis. Neostigmine vs. No neostigmine was evaluated on Postoperative anastomotic leakage. Neostigmine administration during anesthesia for total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis was associated with a higher postoperative anastomotic leakage rate compared to no neostigmine (36% vs 4%).
