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...
Purpose: Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) is becoming the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. 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...
Purpose: In patients with acute left-sided colonic obstruction, stenting can convert an emergency operation into a semi-elective procedure. However, its use continues to be debated. We performed cost-effective analysis using our institution’s experiences.Methods: Endoscopic, surgical, and financial details were prospectively collected for who presented obstruction underwent between 2019 2022. Outcomes defined as technical/clinical success successful surgical resection. The cost of was...
Background: Multimodal prehabilitation programs, which may incorporate nutritional supplementation and exercise, have been developed to combat sarcopenia in surgical patients enhance post-operative outcomes. However, the optimal regime remains unknown. The use of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has beneficial effects on muscle mass strength. its effect quality perioperative setting yet be established. This study aims explore impact a multimodal program using bundle care that includes...
A colovaginal fistula (CVF) is an abnormal epithelialized connection between the colon and vagina. It a rare complication following gynaecology surgery can significantly affect patients’ quality of life. CVFs are commonly associated with diverticular disease usually seen in patients previous hysterectomy. We report uncommon case postsurgical CVF vaginal hysterectomy mesh-augmented pelvic floor repair, which was unrelated to diverticulitis. The patient successfully managed by...
Esophageal granular cell tumors (GCT) represent a rare entity of the esophagus. Patients with esophageal GCTs are usually asymptomatic, lesion most commonly presenting as an incidental finding on endoscopy. The esophagus poorly understood in medical literature. It is unknown if they undergo malignant degeneration, whether malignancy can be diagnosed preoperatively, and how tumor managed. authors evaluated clinical pathologic features all at their institution to understand them better.
Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is a rare clinical entity, which can masquerade as the more common and lethal necrotising fasciitis. The authors present case of PPG in 65-year-old woman who underwent robotic abdominoperineal resection for low rectal carcinoma returned 8 days postoperation peristomal skin ulcerations pain, accompanied by leucocytosis; thus, she was treated per fasciitis surgical debridement. Thereafter, her wound continued to worsen despite conventional care with...
