To evaluate the outcome after Hartmann's procedure (HP) versus primary anastomosis (PA) with diverting ileostomy for perforated left-sided diverticulitis.The surgical management of colonic perforation purulent or fecal peritonitis remains controversial. PA seems to be superior HP; however, results in literature are affected by a significant selection bias. No randomized clinical trial has yet compared 2 procedures.Sixty-two patients acute (Hinchey III and IV) from 4 centers were HP (n = 30)...
To investigate morbidity and mortality following complete mesocolic excision (CME) central vascular ligation (CVL) in patients undergoing right colectomy.Data from consecutive elective colectomy at a university-affiliated referral centre were retrospectively analysed. Patients who underwent conventional right-sided colonic cancer surgery (January 2001-April 2009, n = 84) compared to CME/CVL (May 2009-January 2015, 71). The primary end point was anastomotic leak. Secondary points delayed...
Abstract Background Patient-oriented questionnaires are indispensable in the assessment of surgical outcome. The psychometric properties a brief multidimensional instrument were examined patients with inguinal hernia undergoing surgery. Methods Fifty-one (mean(s.d.) age 50·6(17·4) years; 48 men) participated. following questionnaire assessed for Core Outcome Measures Index adapted (COMI-hernia) and EuroQol: practicability, floor ceiling effects, test–retest reliability (over 2 weeks),...

Long-term outcome data after total endoscopic preperitoneal hernia repair are scarce. This study reports the 10-year results extraperitoneal in terms of recurrence rates and various patient-orientated indicators quality life.Between July 1995 April 2000, 107 consecutive patients underwent inguinal repair. The follow-up assessment between December 2007 June 2008 included a clinical examination patient questionnaire.Sixty-three (64.3%) with 108 hernias attended follow-up, an average 115.7...
BACKGROUND: Networks are known to improve performance and create synergies. A research network can provide a significant advantage for all parties involved in surgery by systematically tracking the outcome of huge number patients over long period time. The aim present study was investigate experiences surgeons with respect activities, evaluate opinions regard development national field Switzerland obtain data on how such should be designed. METHODS: An anonymous postal survey board-certified...
