The aim of the study is to compare CT enterography with polyethylene glycol solution (PEG-CT) enteroclysis (CT-E) in patients suspected small bowel disease.145 underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced 16-row multidetector after administration 2000 ml PEG by mouth (n = 75) or methylcellulose nasojejunal tube 70). Small distension, luminal and extraluminal findings were evaluated compared follow-through examination 60 patients, double contrast enema 50, surgery 25 endoscopy 35. Statistical...
To evaluate if a single and/or combined (clinical, endoscopic and radiological) assessment could predict clinical outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD).We prospectively evaluated 57 CD cases who underwent both colonoscopy CT-enterography (CTE). Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBi), SES-CD (and/or Rutgeerts score) the radiological activity were defined to stratify patients according clinical, respectively. Hospitalizations, surgery, therapeutic changes deaths up 36 months (time 1) for 53 patients.CTE...
Abstract Background During their lifetime, patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) frequently develop strictures as a complication, where various degrees of inflammation and fibrosis coexist. Distinguishing between inflammatory fibrotic is crucial for deciding on surgery or treatment changes, yet it currently challenging in clinical practice. Cross-sectional imaging techniques (e.g. magnetic resonance MRI) provide reasonably accurate estimate bowel wall fibrosis. However, only histopathological...
Background/Objectives: The histological involvement of surgical resection margins in Crohn’s disease (CD) is an important risk factor for postoperative recurrence. aim this study was to evaluate the usefulness intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) small bowel best identify site and reduce rate margins. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent ileocolic surgery CD were prospectively enrolled (IOUS group) IOUS fix site. A control historical group undergoing same procedures considered a 1:1...
PURPOSE: To prospectively assess contrast material–enhanced voiding ultrasonography (US) for grading of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and to compare results with those cystourethrography (VCUG) in adult patients undergoing antireflux ureteral implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-seven consecutive who had undergone renal transplantation Politano-Leadbetter (18 patients) or Lich-Gregoire (19 technique were included on the basis previous urinary tract infections (UTIs) time elapsed after...
Acute colonic diverticulitis (ACD) is an acute episode of severe and prolonged lower abdominal pain due to diverticular inflammation, usually associated with change in bowel movements, fever, leukocytosis. Worldwide, computed tomography (CT) the abdomen pelvis intravenous contrast accepted as best imaging method for evaluating serving following functions: confirming presence ACD; evaluation disease severity degree; therapy planning guide complications (such abscess or intestinal...
Many patients with Crohn's disease (CD) require surgical intervention during their lifetime. A correct preoperative assessment of the intestinal length is necessary to predict and quickly treat postoperative nutritional disorders. The aim this paper explain method used in our hospital measure CD its usefulness for making therapeutic decision. Vessel analysis software small bowel through computed tomography enterography (CTE) or magnetic resonance (MRE). permits two-dimensional...
