Functional outcome after rectal excision with coloanal anastomosis is improved by construction of a colonic J pouch. Present prospective randomized studies lack follow-up beyond 1 year. The aim this study was to assess the clinical at both short- and long-term follow-up.Forty patients low cancer were prospectively either pouch-anal or straight anastomosis. Clinical assessments performed 3, 12 24 months colostomy closure using standard questionnaire physical examination.There no significant...
PURPOSE: Improved functional results can be obtained by construction of a colonic J-pouch after coloanal anastomosis. Variability in pouch size following anastomosis is prevalent current literature. In this study, the authors compare clinical bowel function complete rectal excision with for patients carcinoma using either small 6-cm or large 10-cm The outcome assessed both at short-term and long-term follow-up. METHODS: Fifty-nine consecutive cancers 4 to 8 cm from anal verge were recruited...
Residual viral replication persists in a significant proportion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients receiving potent antiretroviral therapy. To determine the source this virus, levels HIV RNA and DNA from lymphoid tissues serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), genital secretions 28 treated for < or =2.5 years with indinavir, zidovudine, lamivudine were examined. Both remained detectable all lymph nodes. In contrast, was not detected 20 23 any 13 CSF samples after 2 treatment....
Jeopardizing cure and risking high local recurrence have served as arguments against sphincter-saving resection for patients with distal third rectal cancer. This prospective study examines compares the survival rates in cancer treated by either coloanal anastomosis or abdominoperineal resection.Between 1977 1993, 174 underwent anastomoses 38 resection. All tumors were located 4 to 7 cm from anal verge. One hundred ninety-three (91 percent) excision a curative intent. Mean follow-up was 66...
PURPOSE: For patients with distal rectal or anal tumors, quality of life can be compromised after abdominoperineal resection and iliac colostomy. This study examines our experience a continent perineal colostomy constructed from colonic smooth-muscle cuff wrap. METHODS: Between 1987 1996, 63 tumors (0-5 cm the verge) underwent construction at site Postoperatively, all required irrigations daily every two days. The complications, continence 6 12 months, degree satisfaction were prospectively...
PURPOSE: The cause of rectal intussusception in patients primarily dominated by symptoms anal incontinence has not been fully elucidated, especially for with idiopathic incontinence. METHODS: Between 1991 and 1996, 51 referred a diagnosis were prospectively evaluated standard questionnaire, clinical examination, defecography, manometry. Fourteen female identified treated transabdominal rectopexy. Postoperatively, assessment manometry performed at regular intervals. RESULTS: Continence was...
We report a case of large perforated adenocarcinoma the rectum manifesting as an ischiorectal abscess progressing to Fournier's gangrene in insulin-dependent diabetic man. Recognition and management this rare syndrome setting common disease is discussed.
Published comparisons of minimally invasive approaches to colon surgery are limited. The objective the current study is compare effectiveness robotic-assisted and laparoscopic sigmoid resection.A multicenter retrospective comparative analysis perioperative outcomes from consecutive resections performed between 2010 2015 by six general colorectal surgeons, who experienced in both surgical techniques had >50 annual case volumes for each approach. Baseline characteristics risk factors two...
We report a case of large post-traumatic liver cyst in symptomatic patient treated by laparoscopic excision an ambulatory setting. This rare lesion can be safely this alternative modality on outpatient basis, with minimal morbidity.

Cimetidine, a histamine type 2 (H2) receptor antagonist, is commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as well gastric and duodenal ulcer disease. In addition, cimetidine has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects. This led investigators study effects in various neoplasms. Chemotherapy colon cancer based on fluorouracil, which only minimal activity high-stage Pharmacologic agents that can improve survival patients with will profound impact...
Objective Appropriate surgical treatment of distal third rectal cancer limited to bowel wall (i.e. T1 or T2) in medically operable patients is controversial. Transanal excision can deprive some accurate pathological staging, prognosis and cure. In contrast abdominoperineal resection has considerable practical psychosocial problems largely related a permanent colostomy. We hypothesize that superficial tumours be effectively treated with coloanal anastomosis. Subjects methods Prospective...
