Abstract Background This study compared the short-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for IBD patients to assess efficacy using robotics in minimally invasive surgery. The goal was explore whether is a superior surgical technique with better outcomes. Method A retrospective review all who underwent conducted from 2018-2022 . Demographics, peri, intra post-operative data were analy...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify risk factors influencing permanent stomas after low anterior resection with temporary stomas for rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2528 consecutive rectal cancer patients who had undergone low anterior resection were retrospectively reviewed. Risk factors for permanent stomas were evaluated among these patients. RESULTS Among 2528 ...

HYPOTHESIS Proximal intestinal stomas established by the exteriorization of leaking anastomosis in the presence of peritonitis can be used to reinfuse succus entericus and provide adequate enteral nutrition. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively gathered data from a cohort of consecutive patients admitted between January 1993 and December 1999 for postoperative peritonitis requiring ...

This article explores the management of patients with high-output stomas fashioned under acute surgical conditions where management may be difficult owing to the presence of a large laparostomy wound. Available products that meet the technical demands required to manage these patients, achieve optimal wound healing, manage high-output stoma and encourage patient independence are considered. A n...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES When deciding about the use of a defunctioning stoma in rectal cancer surgery, benefits and risks need to be weighed. This study investigated: (1a) factors associated with the use of defunctioning stomas; (1b) hospital variation; and (2) surgeons' perceptions regarding factors that determine this decision. METHODS Population-based data from the Dutch Surgical Colorec...

Spina bifida and myelodysplasia are associated with neurogenic abnormalities of the bladder and bowel function. All children with myelodysplasia require an evaluation of their urinary tract with ultrasound and urodynamics to confirm normal bladder and kidney function. Patients with anatomical and functional abnormalities require treatment, the mainstay being intermittent catheterization and ant...

Anastomotic leakage (AL) after resection for rectal carcinoma accelerates morbidity and mortality rates, extends hospital stay, and increases treatment costs, particularly when requiring laparotomy. The role of a protective diverting stoma (DS) in avoiding leakage has repeatedly been discussed, but prospective randomized studies on this subject are rare and their results contradictory. The MEDL...

Intestinal stomas are commonly used in a temporary or permanent fashion in gastrointestinal surgeries. The complication rate of stomas has been reported to vary between 23 and 50%. There is only one case in the literature involving transstomal small bowel evisceration following colonic perforation. In this paper, we aimed to present a patient with a perforated colon secondary to ischemic coliti...

PURPOSE Fecal incontinence (FI) is a devastating problem for children. The failure of optimal medical treatment may require further interventions such as appendicocutaneostomy. We report on a patients' perspective of the success of a Malone procedure for FI. PATIENTS AND METHODS The records of 32 patients who had undergone ACE procedure in the past 9 years were reviewed. Patients and families...
