Background: The most frequent standard acute still is hospital admission both Europe United States. Methods: This multicenter, randomized controlled trial included older than 18 years diverticulitis. All underwent abdominal computed tomography. There were management: hospitalization (group 1)...
To evaluate the impact of surgeon specialization on emergency colorectal resection in terms mortality, morbidity, and type operation performed.Observational study from January 1, 1993, through December 31, 2006.Bellvitge University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain.A total 1046 patients underwent resection. Patients were classified into 2 groups: those operated by a (CS) general (GS).Preoperative variables studied sex, age, American Society Anesthesiologists grade, associated medical disease,...
BackgroundPelvic exenteration for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and recurrent (LRRC) is technically challenging but increasingly performed in specialist centres. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes over time.
Abstract Background Patients with rectal cancer often experience adverse effects on urinary, sexual, and digestive functions. Despite recognised impacts available treatments, they are not fully integrated into follow-up protocols, thereby hindering appropriate interventions. The aim of the study was to discern activities conducted in our routine clinical practice outside trials. Methods This multicentre, retrospective cohort included consecutive patients undergoing surgery between January...
To study any possible differences in morbidity, mortality and overall survival rate after curative surgery for obstructive colon cancer according to tumour location.From January 1994 December 2006, patients with colonic presenting as obstruction were analysed. The two groups defined proximal distal the location respect splenic flexure. In relation surgeon specialization, operated on by a colorectal general surgeon. Postoperative morbidity cancer-related at 3 years analysed.Of 377 included...
Ileocolic anastomosis is performed using a stapled or manual technique, but with either there risk of bleeding from the suture line. The aim this study was to analyse, retrospectively, after different anastomotic techniques.Patients having elective right colectomy were divided, according type ileocolic anastomosis, into Group 1 (circular, double-stapled, end-to-side), 2 (linear-stapled, side-to-side) and 3 (handsewn, side-to-side). Postoperative lower gastrointestinal (LGIB) studied in three...
The multidisciplinary perioperative and anaesthetic management of patients undergoing pelvic exenteration is essential for good surgical outcomes. No clear guidelines have been established, there wide variation in clinical practice internationally. This consensus statement consolidates experience best collectively, systematically addresses key domains the management.The modified Delphi methodology was used to achieve from PelvEx Collaborative. process included one round online questionnaire...
Immunosuppression is believed to worsen outcomes for patients who require surgery perforated diverticulitis. The aim of this study was compare surgical between immunocompromised and immunocompetent undergoing complicated diverticulitis.All underwent emergency diverticulitis 2004 2012 in a single unit were studied. Patients classified as immunosuppressed (group I) or II). Operation type postoperative morbidity mortality compared groups. impact operating surgeons' specialization the...
PURPOSE: Double-barreled wet colostomy consists of simultaneous urinary and fecal diversions into a lateral is indicated after pelvic exenteration or in palliative operations, when complete intestinal reconstruction not possible. We report experience at our institution with regarding postoperative long-term morbidity mortality. METHODS: All patients who underwent double-barreled construction from 1980 through 2008 were included the study. Medical records reviewed for type history malignant...
