Abstract Objectives The incidence of parastomal hernia (PSH) can be up to 80% patients who have a stoma following abdominal surgery (1). Surgical intervention is required in 70% due pain, obstructive symptoms or appliance issues (2). This study aims show the morbidity related presumed temporary loop stoma. Methods was retrospective cohort all left-sided colorectal cancer resections undertaken s...

Abstract Aims Minimally symptomatic diverticular stricture poses diagnostic and management dilemma for the Colorectal Surgeon. Long term outcome, risk of missing a cancer complications are not well documented in literature. This study aims at assessment outcomes patients with minimally who were treated conservatively. Methods Retrospective chart review all confirmed on endoscopy imaging scans h...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Fulminant necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) may result in extensive bowel necrosis. Resection of involved segments may result in short bowel syndrome. Multiple stomas result in complications and further loss of intestinal length with closure. METHODS Two patients with extensive multisegmental NEC were treated with an intraluminal stent without anastomosis. All necrotic intest...

INTRODUCTION Abdominal wall defects with exposed bowels present a significant risk of iatrogenic and spontaneous intestinal fistulation, and early wound closure is warranted. We describe our experience with the use of biological mesh (BM) for facilitation of secondary abdominal wall closure in patients with abdominal wall defects after severe complications, including surgically inaccessible ent...

The specialty of colon and rectal surgery, a specialty of general surgery, has evolved from the field of proctology. Clinical care has demonstrated decreased number of patients requiring intestinal stomas, improved quality of life in patients with benign anorectal disorders, and more favorable results in patients afflicted with primary and recurrent colorectal cancer. Basic science investigatio...

BACKGROUND The introduction of circular staplers into colorectal surgery has revolutionized anastomotic techniques stretching the limits of sphincter preservation. Data on the double-stapling technique (DST) has been widely published in the West where the incidence of colorectal cancer is high. However studies using this technique and their results, in the Indian scenario, as well as the rest o...
