Mesenteric defects are often not closed in laparoscopic colectomy. We herein report a case of an internal hernia projecting through a mesenteric defect following laparoscopy-assisted right hemicolectomy. A 74-year-old woman was hospitalized for the surgical treatment of double colon cancer. Preoperative colonoscopy demonstrated the presence of ascending colon and transverse colon cancers. A lap...

Besides most common signs and symptoms suggesting a colic cancer, sometimes the clinical presentation can be difficult. Extra-abdominal abscess as a first sign of perforated colon carcinoma is a very unusual finding. We report a case of an old male patient, in bad general condition, with a post-traumatic finding of right lumbar abscess. After the percutaneous drainage with discharge of fecal ma...

Synchronous carcinoma of the colon is rare but not infrequent. The incidence ranges from 2-5% . Synchronous primary carcinoma of the colon is defined as two or more primary colonic cancers are identified at the same time and confirmed by histological evaluation. The significance of synchronous primaries is not to miss second lesion, patients needs complete screening of the colon and excision of...

A 77-year-old man had sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer. Two years later, a right hepatectomy for a liver metastasis was performed. Two years thereafter, abdominal computed tomography scanning and FDG-PET showed the right adrenal mass. Right adrenalectomy was performed with a diagnosis of solitary adrenal metastasis from sigmoid colon cancer. On pathology, adrenal metastasis was confirmed....

We report here the main characteristics of 'Marseilla massiliensis' strain Marseille-P2475(T) (CSURP2475) isolated from the human right colon.

Cecocolic torsion is a class of right colon obstruction. Under this heading, the known and the recently identified variants are unified under 1 classification. An algorithm is utilized to trace the pathogenesis of these variants. Recent data, prevailing definitions, and controversies are discussed and resolved. The significance of specific membranes and the blood supply is clarified. New sympto...

We report here the main characteristics of 'Acidaminococcus timonensis' strain Marseille-P2764T, isolated from human right colon, and 'Acidaminococcus massiliensis' strain Marseille-P2828T, isolated from human duodenum.

We report here the main characteristics of 'Millionella massiliensis' strain Marseille-P3215T (= CSUR P3215), which was isolated from a human right colon liquid sample.

We reported a case report of mass-like cecum and ascending colon carcinoma featuring exophytic cavity growth. The external lump size was about 84 mm × 72 mm that violated right-side illiopsoas and psoas major muscles. Preoperative CT diagnosis was performed to confirm a retroperitoneal cancer involving right hemicolon, psoas major and casiliopsoas muscles. Mesenchymoma was the paramount conside...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) based on the occurrence of anastomosis leakage, surgical site infection (SSI), and severity of surgical complication when performing elective colorectal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS MBP and non-MBP patients were matched using propensity score. The outcomes were evaluated according to tumor location such as ...
