Sarcopenia, which is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass strength, has been well described to be associated with numerous poor postoperative outcomes, such as increased perioperative mortality, sepsis, prolonged length stay, cost care, decreased functional outcome, poorer oncological outcomes in cancer surgery. Multimodal prehabilitation, a concept that involves boosting optimizing the preoperative condition patient prior upcoming stressors surgical...
With increasing global life expectancy, the number of major surgeries performed on aged adults invariably increases. This study aimed to examine effectiveness a structured prehabilitative program for colorectal cancer patients in improving short-term surgical outcomes.A prospective philanthropically sponsored Programme Enhanced Elderly Recovery at Sengkang General Hospital (PEERS) was initiated February 2017 ≥70-years-old who were due undergo elective colectomies.

However, surgery deferred months after completion, which may lead to fibrosis and increased surgical difficulty. The aim this study was assess whether TNT (TNT-RAPIDO) associated with difficulty total mesorectal excision (TME) compared long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCRT) upfront surgery.Methods: Twelve laparoscopic videos low anterior resection TME cancer were prospectively...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Haemorrhoids result in a variety of symptoms that cause significant patient anxiety. Treatment has long been associated with post-operative complications, which and may readmissions.
