Purpose. To analyse perioperative and oncological outcomes of minimally invasive simultaneous resection of primary colorectal neoplasm with synchronous liver metastases. Methods. A Medline revision of the current published literature on laparoscopic and robotic-assisted combined colectomy with hepatectomy for synchronous liver metastatic colorectal neoplasm was performed until February 2015. Th...

Background: The Colonoscopy with accompanying mucosal biopsy is the prime diagnostic tool in the workup of patients with different neoplastic as well as non-neoplastic lesions of colon & rectum. The objectives of this study were to study the spectrum of lesions in colon & rectum on colonoscopic biopsies, to find age & sex distribution of these lesions & to correlate them with presenting complai...

The objective of this study was to investigate development of the weight and the morphological development of the rectum in broiler chickens. Twenty broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used in this experiment and they were 12, 20, 35 and 44 days of age. Samples from the rectum of chicks were sectioned in an unbiased manner and examined quantitatively using stereology. In addition, the weight of bo...

colorectal lymphoma is an extremely rare disease, representing less than 0.5% of all primary colorectal neoplasms. the disease is usually diagnosed in the advanced stages because of its primary non-specific symptoms. the most common involved site is cecum followed by rectum and ascending colon. diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is a more frequent subtype. although surgical resection is often techni...

Prostate cancer rarely metastasis to the rectum. Findings in the patient reported here emphasize the importance of the relationship between urinary and gastrointestinal symptoms in detecting prostatic neoplasms in older male patients.

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer remains a huge diagnostic and therapeutic issue in Poland and worldwide. World epidemiological data indicates a constant increase in morbidity in recent decades. OBJECTIVES The aim of this research was to present surgical procedures in malignant and benign colorectal neoplasms based on authors' clinical data. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 2001 and 2010, in the 1s...

Investigation of a possible relationship between asbestos exposure and the development of colon-rectum cancer must consider that recognizable changes in the bowel mucosa may antedate the appearance of clinically apparent carcinoma. It is generally acknowledged that at least some carcinomas of the large bowel arise in a pre-existent benign neoplasm, the so-called adenoma or adenomatous polyp (1)...

Primary colonic adenocarcinoma and synchronous rectal carcinoids are rare tumors. Whenever a synchronous tumor with a nonmetastatic carcinoid component is encountered, its prognosis is determined by the associate malignancy. The discovery of an asymptomatic gastrointestinal carcinoid during the operative treatment of another malignancy will usually only require resection without additional trea...
