The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety laparoscopic surgery for cure colorectal cancer with emphasis on oncologic follow-up in particular.A performed patients treated by laparoscopy five German centers between May 1991 September 1997. Surgical pathologic data were recorded an anonymous registry database analyzed type resection. Standard procedures sigmoid or left colectomy, anterior resection, abdominoperineal right hemicolectomy. Follow-up information included...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome both laparoscopic suture rectopexy and resection-rectopexy in treatment complete incomplete rectal prolapse, outlet obstruction, or both. METHODS: Data from surgery were collected prospectively. Semiannual follow-up performed by assessment recurrence, continence, constipation using patients' history, physical examination, continence score, anorectal manometry. Statistical analysis chi-squared test Student's t -test (P <0.05 accepted as...
Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the outpatient workflow efficiency an optimized facility (OF) compared established reference (RF) for abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: In retrospective study, we analyzed 2,723 contrast-enhanced liver and prostate MRI examinations conducted between March 2022 April 2024. All were performed on 3T scanners (MAGNETOM Vida, Siemens Healthineers) at two different facilities within our institution. featured a three-bay setup, with...
Background: Cryptoglandular anal fistula arises in 2 per 10 000 persons year and is most common young men.Improper treatment can result fecal incontinence thus impaired quality of life.Method: This S3 guideline based on a systematic review the pertinent literature.Results: The level evidence for low, because relevant randomized trials are scarce.Anal fistulae classified according to relation channel sphincter.The indication established by clinical history physical examination.During surgery,...
Treatment of high anal fistulas may be associated with a risk continence disorders. Beside traditional procedure flap-reconstruction the occlusion fistula tract using fistula-plugs offers new sphincter-saving treatment option. In this study for first time results from Germany are described.40 patients (30 male, 10 female, age 51 ± 12 years) underwent closure trans-sphincteric (n = 28) or supra-sphincteric 12) Gore BioA Fistula Plug(®) in three surgical departments. The procedures had been...
The OTSC Proctology is a surgical device for anorectal fistula closure. It consists of super-elastic nitinol clip, which placed (with the aid transanal applicator) on internal opening to achieve healing track. A prospective, two-centre clinical pilot study was undertaken assess efficacy and safety in patients with complex high fistula.In primary track debrided using special brush clip applied opening. After 6 months postoperative course were assessed.Twenty cryptoglandular (14...

The effectiveness of modern perioperative treatment concepts has been demonstrated in several studies and meta-analyses. Despite good evidence, limited implementation the fast track (FT) concept is still a widespread concern. To assess status quo Austrian German hospitals, survey on FT measures was conducted among members Society General Visceralsurgery (DGAV), Coloproctology (DGK) Surgery (OEGCH) to analyze where there potential for improvement.Twenty questions care colorectal surgery...
'Fast-track' rehabilitation has been shown to accelerate recovery, reduce general morbidity and decrease hospital stay after elective colonic surgery. Despite this evidence, there is no information on the acceptance utilization of these concepts among entirety Austrian German surgeons. In 2006, a questionnaire concerning perioperative routines in elective, open resection was sent chief surgeons 1270 120 surgical centres. The response rate 63% Austria (76 centres) 30% Germany (385 centres)....
Zusammenfassung Die Analfissur ist eine der häufigsten Pathologien, welche sich dem Proktologen präsentiert. Entsprechend es wichtig, verlässliche Leitlinien dazu zu entwickeln. aktuelle Leitlinie wurde anhand eines systematischen Literaturreview von einem interdisziplinären Expertengremium diskutiert und verabschiedet. akute Analfissur, soll auf Grund ihrer hohen Selbstheilungstendenz konservativ behandelt werden. Heilung wird am besten durch die Einnahme Ballaststoff reicher Ernährung...
Liver vessel segmentation in magnetic resonance imaging data is important for the computational analysis of vascular remodelling, associated with a wide spectrum diffuse liver diseases. Existing approaches rely on contrast enhanced data, but necessary dedicated sequences are not uniformly acquired. Images without enhancement acquired more frequently, challenging, and requires large-scale annotated data. We propose multi-task learning framework to segment vessels MRI contrast. It exploits...

Abstract Aim Patients suffering from advanced colorectal cancer can experience unintended weight loss and/or treatment‐induced gastrointestinal toxicity. Based on current evidence, the routine use of parenteral nutrition (PN) for patients with is not recommended. This study evaluates effect PN supplementation body composition, quality life (QoL), chemotherapy‐associated side effects and survival in cancer. Method Eighty‐two receiving a palliative chemotherapy were prospectively randomized to...
