BACKGROUND It is possible to resect the perforated segment and reestablish intestinal continuity with adequate morbidity and mortality results in patients with complicated diverticulitis. AIMS To evaluate the type of surgery performed at our center and the results of the procedures in patients with complicated diverticulitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients that underwent sigmoidectomy du...

Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common malformation of the esophagus. Primary anastomosis is achievable in more than 90% of the cases and the milestone of the surgical intervention is achieving a watertight, low-tension anastomosis of the esophageal pouches. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for releasing tension in the anastomosis and also to provide a safe way for enter...

OBJECTIVES A prospective audit of all patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with the intention of primary colonic left-sided intracorporeal stapled anastomosis to identify the clinical anastomotic leak rate on an intention to treat basis. METHODS All patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery resulting in left-sided stapled anastomosis were included. All operations were conducted ...

a standard surgical procedure (Judd et al., 1931). The object of this paper is to show that the best treatment may be primary anastomosis to the stomach, duodenum or jejunum, and that this is usually possible. The operation of marsupialization has several disadvantages, and consequently should, in the opinion of writer, give place to this procedure of primary anastomosis to the stomach, duodenu...

There are several options for surgical treatment of large bowel obstruction caused by cancer, depending on location of obstruction, intraoperative local findings (perforation, peritonitis, bowel dilatation proximal to obstruction) and patients' condition. Resection and anastomosis as one stage surgery would be prefered procedure. Anastomotic leakage, on the other hand, highly elevates risk of m...

We report a rare case of late staple-line recurrence arising 10 years after functional end-to-end anastomosis for splenic flexure colon cancer. An 80-year-old man, who underwent partial colectomy with functional end-to-end anastomosis for splenic flexure colon cancer 10 years earlier, presented with a chief complaint of anorexia. Complete blood count showed anemia, and the fecal occult blood te...

Background: Intestinal atresia is a life-threatening problem requiring early active intervention. The aim of the study was to compare management outcomes between Duodenal-Atresia (DA) and Jejunoileal-Atresias (JIA). The secondary objective was to analyse tapering enteroplasty versus end-to-end anastomosis in JIA. Materials and Methods: Retrospective descriptive analysis of patients operated be...

Background In this study, given the importance of gastrointestinal anastomosis in surgical procedures, attempts have been made to compare the results of employing magnetic compression anastomosis and magnetic coils in intestinal anastomosis of rats. Materials and Methods This study was an experimental trial on 60 rats which had been randomly divided into two experiment (30) and control (30) gro...

introduction ileal diverticulum is a rare disease that presents with complications such as diverticulitis. case presentation we present an 81-year-old man with partial small bowel obstruction having abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting for 48 hours and a mobile abdominal mass. after ct scan, exploratory laparoscopy and small bowel resection was done with primary anastomosis. conclusions when adhesi...
