Abstract

The current treatment of GI tract tumours is based to a large degree on the combined use of varied types of therapy: surgery, chemotherapy, irradiation. Severe post-operative complications may significantly affect the possibilities of application of non-surgical methods of treatment. Therefore, monitoring the early results of surgical treatment is extremely crucial to ensuring the appropriate necessary follow up and keep the risk of post-operative complications to a minimum. This paper describes the methodology of prospective collection of clinical data, which allows monitoring the quality of the surgical treatment of GI tumours on a current basis. On the basis of the data collected in the period from 2010 to 2015, the results of the analysis of three types of surgeries were presented (anterior resection of the anus, right hemicolectomy and a total gastric resection) and the actions taken on the basis of the annual report concerning the post-operative complication risks were described. Moreover, the examples of the application of prospectively collected clinical information for academic purposes were presented.
