Patients an obstructive lesion splenic flexure assessed as having a obstruction. Resection primary anastomosis was operation choice selected patients. Alternative procedures Hartmann's procedure high-risk patients, subtotal colectomy cases...
To assess the prevalence of surgical site infection (SSI) after elective operations for colon and rectal cancer application evidence-based preventive measures to identify risk factors SSI.Prospective, observational, multicenter.Tertiary community public hospitals in Catalonia, Spain.Consecutive patients undergoing resections during a 9-month period.The SSI within 30 days SSI.Data from 611 were documented: 383 underwent 228 cancer.

Abstract Background Oral Gastrografin® has been used to differentiate partial from complete small bowel obstruction (SBO). It may have a therapeutic effect and predict the need for early surgery in adhesive SBO. The aim of this study was determine whether contrast examination management SBO allows an oral intake reduces hospital stay. Methods Eighty-three patients admitted between February 2000 November 2001 with 90 episodes symptoms signs suggestive postoperative were randomized into two...
There is ongoing controversy concerning the virulence and management of diverticulitis in young patients. This study reports on acute with reference to outcome disease respect age.Between January 1994 June 1999, 327 patients were treated for left colonic diverticulitis. Patients divided two groups: those aged 50 years or less (group 1, 72 patients) older than 2, 255 patients).

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an established treatment for faecal incontinence. We aimed to identify specific factors that could predict the outcome of temporary and permanent stimulation.A cohort analysis was performed potential predictive in 81 patients who underwent SNS at a single institution over 10-year period (June 1996 June 2006). Data were obtained from prospectively collected patient symptom diaries quality life questionnaires, operation reports, anorectal physiological...
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a minimal invasive treatment that can be performed in the outpatient clinic. This pilot study to investigate PTNS of faecal incontinence. was by insertion needle electrode near posterior nerve. Patients were treated twice week. Evaluation incontinence and quality life at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, months 1 year. Quality estimated using SF-36 FIQL questionnaires.A total 22 patients included. The mean age 60.4 ± 11.7 years. After 18 continued...
Several studies have suggested that laparoscopy might confer an oncological advantage in patients undergoing surgery for colonic cancer. A decreased inflammatory and angiogenic response has been proposed. This study compared the local systemic responses after open laparoscopic cancer.Some 122 with cancer were randomized to or colectomy. Levels of interleukin (IL) 6 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) measured serum peritoneal fluid at baseline, then 4, 12, 24 48 h on day 4 surgery....
There is no consensus about the risk factors for anastomotic failure after elective or emergency colorectal surgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze that may contribute in dehiscence.A total 208 patients who underwent left colonic resection and primary anastomosis distal emergencies were studied. Preoperative operative variables analyzed each patient gender, age, American Society Anesthesiologists score, comorbidities, indication surgery, etiology disease, presence grade...
Abstract Background Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an established treatment for faecal incontinence in patients who have failed conservative management. This study the cost-effectiveness of treating with SNS compared non-surgical treatment. Methods A decision analysis model was performed. Data from 70 were obtained medical records, bowel habit diaries and Short Form 36 quality life questionnaires. Direct non-medical costs ascertained using 2005/2006 national tariff, statistics,...
Abstract Aim Evidence supporting outpatient treatment with oral antibiotics in patients uncomplicated diverticulitis is limited. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an ambulatory protocol acute diverticulitis. Method All diagnosed based on abdominal computed tomography findings from June 2003 December 2008 were considered for treatment. Admission indicated not able tolerate intake those comorbidity or without adequate family support. Treatment consisted 7 days...
