The best management for diverticulitis with abscess formation remains unknown.The purpose of this study was to determine the natural course and outcomes patients medically treated diverticular abscess.We conducted a retrospective review all at our institution confirmed by CT from 2004 2014.This in tertiary referral hospital.A total 1194 were acute 10 years; 210 CT-documented analyzed (140 men (66.7%) 70 women (33.3%); median age 45 range, 23-84 years).Overall recurrence disease complication...

Background: Cosmetic appearance of incisions remains one the most important aspects patient recovery experience. Despite advances in surgery, scar prevention is gold standard improved results. Closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy has shown promise decreasing surgical site infection and healing time. This study aimed to assess outcomes primarily closed with mechanically powered dressings (MP-NPDs) compared dressings. Methods: was a single-center, within-subjects, randomized...
<title>Abstract</title> Background: Anastomotic leak is a serious complication of bowel anastomosis, with multifactorial etiology. Thorough intraoperative evaluation the anastomosis using white light endoscopy and tests critical. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) has emerged as tool to assess perfusion but limitations, including patient allergies procedural complexity. The FUJIFILM Eluxeo Vision system uses Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI) measure tissue oxygenation saturation...
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the management of rectal prolapse in elderly involved a perineal approach to repair. However, paradigms have evolved, and use transabdominal may be as safe patients. OBJECTIVE: To provide contemporary analysis early postoperative outcomes trends surgical prolapse. DESIGN: This was retrospective review large multicenter database. SETTING: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program captured data from 702 participating sites. PATIENTS: All patients aged 70...
Early-onset colorectal cancer has been on the rise in Western populations. Here, we compare patient characteristics between those with early- (<50 years) vs. late-onset (≥50 disease a large multinational cohort of patients (n = 2193). We calculated descriptive statistics and assessed associations clinicodemographic factors age onset using mutually-adjusted logistic regression models. Patients were average 60 years old, BMI 29 kg/m2, 52% colon cancers, 21% early-onset, presented stage II or...
The molecular profile of early-onset colonic cancer is undefined. This study evaluated clinicopathological features and oncological outcomes young patients with according to microsatellite status.
BACKGROUND: Pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer is associated with improved survival. It unclear whether residual carcinoma in situ portends a similar outcome. OBJECTIVE: To compare survival of patients locally advanced who received therapy and achieved pathologic versus response. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: National public database. PATIENTS: A total 4,594 the Cancer Database from 2006 to 2016 therapy, underwent surgery, had...
Complex laparoscopy is difficult to master because it involves 3-dimensional (3D) interpretation on a 2-dimensional (2D) viewing screen. The use of 3D technology has an uncertain effect training surgeons. We aim evaluate the effectiveness learning and performing laparoscopic tasks.Medical students without experience (novices) were evaluated doing inanimate object transfer suturing. Tasks repeated using 2D cameras with standard instruments. Time error rates (missed attempts, dropped objects,...
The epidemic increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide represents a potential source surgical morbidity. impact DM on need for management and its effect outcomes colonic diverticulitis have not been well defined.We investigated all versus non-DM patients admitted with diagnosis acute between January 1, 2003, December 31, 2011, to large urban safety net hospital. An administrative database search was divided into two groups: those without DM. They were retrospectively...

In this study of 400 patients with early-onset rectal cancer, 12.5 per cent demonstrated microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI was associated a reduced likelihood nodal positivity, an increased rate pathological complete response, and improved disease-specific survival.
A prospectively maintained database of 415 patients undergoing colectomy was evaluated. We performed a logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with 1) length stay (LOS) 2 days or less and 2) LOS 10 more. Investigated variables included demographics, American Society Anesthesiology (ASA) score, diagnosis, operative procedure, approach time, transfusion requirements, occurrence any complications. Factors two ASA [odds ratio (OR): 0.34, 95% confidence interval (CI):...
