Many women undergoing sacral neuromodulation for faecal incontinence have coexisting pelvic floor dysfunction. We used a global pelvic-floor assessment questionnaire to evaluate the effect of on non-bowel related symptomatology.The electronic Personnel Assessment Questionnaire - Pelvic Floor (ePAQ-PF) is validated Web-based questionnaire. Women with underwent using ePAQ. Pre- and poststimulator data were analysed over 4.5-year period.Forty-three (mean age 56.5 years; median follow up 6.8...

Method Data were collected on all patients undergoing or Trans‐STARR over a 2 year period. Initially, treated using device during last 8 months Results During analysis period, 25 consecutive 27 median follow up 12 (range 3–12 months) group 6 group. Although resected...
Esophagectomy or gastrectomy for malignant tumors can have a profound effect on nutritional status of patients undergoing the procedure. Hence, postoperative is an important prognostic factor to consider in ensuring optimal recovery. In this study, we looked at assessing prevalence micronutrient deficiencies post esophagectomy gastrectomies and efficiency Allied Health Professionals (AHP) led clinics identifying appropriately managing deficiencies.Between February 2017 2018, all who attended...
Rectal prolapse is a disease presentation with prevalence of about 1%, mainly affecting older women. It usually presents symptoms rectal mass, bleeding, fecal incontinence or constipation, patients frequently feeling socially isolated as result. Perineal rectosigmoidectomy associated lesser morbidity and mortality than the abdominal procedure, but much higher recurrence rate. Therefore, this technique suitable for frail elderly patient. Specific outcomes in an population have been described...
Objective: This study aimed to assess 30-day morbidity and mortality rates following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease identify the factors associated with complications. Summary Background Data: Although is common disease, there a gap in knowledge of current practice variations on global level. Methods: A prospective, international, observational collaborative cohort consecutive patients undergoing from participating hospitals 57 countries between January 1 June 30, 2022, was...
Introduction There is a known correlation between anaerobic threshold (AT) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing and development of complications in high-risk patients undergoing oesophagogastric cancer surgery. This study aimed to assess the value routine retesting following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Patients chemotherapy with subsequent surgery pre- post-neoadjuvant data were identified from prospectively maintained database. Measured variables included AT maximum oxygen uptake...

Abstract Background Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a surgical emergency with mortality rate of 16-30% and morbidity 20-50%. All studies reporting on the outcome surgery for PPU are either local or national. Most these based small cohort sizes. A few larger have been reported, but still limited to single nation, accounting wide variations in literature. There lack global, multicenter data this topic. We aimed assess global 30-day factors influencing it. Methods conducted observational study...
Background: Ivor lewis oesophagectomy (ILO) for oesophageal cancer (OC) is associated with high morbidity an anastomotic leak (AL) rate of upto 30% been quoted in literature.This can lead to return intensive care, delayed recovery and mortality.Several techniques have developed attempt reduce this risk such as, hand sewn technique, circular anastomosis side linear stapled (LSA).Recent meta-analysis suggested reduced AL LSA.We demonstrate our technique a totally robotic LSA performed distal...
