Cecectomy May Be a Superior Alternative to Right Hemicolectomy for Select Benign Cecal Polyps
Introduction: Colorectal cancer usually arises from polyps. Patients with endoscopically-unresectable polyps frequently undergo hemicolectomy. Selected patients with very proximal benign cecal polyps may be amenable to cecal cap resection with preservation of the ileocecal valve. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes at our institution of patients undergoing cecectomy vs. right hemicolectomy for… Continue Reading

Clinical & functional results of transanal endoscopic local excision of rectal tumors
Transanal endoscopic excision of rectal tumors is an accepted sphincter preserving technique in rectum surgery. Detailed preoperative diagnostic procedures (histopathology, endosonography) and functional assessment (manometry, electromyography) are crucial for proper patients selection. Aim: To determine clinical and functional results of patients undergoing local excision for benign and malign lesions. Material and Methods: 90 patients (54… Continue Reading

Comparison of Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Laparoscopic Hemicolectomy
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine short-term outcomes of an intra- vs extra-corporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic hemicolectomy.METHODS: Retrospective chart review of 105 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic hemicolectomy performed by a single surgeon from January 2006-August 2008. Pearson Chi-square and student’s t-test were used to test for significance.RESULTS: There were 105 patients… Continue Reading

Comparison Wound Bacterial Contamination Between Open Colorectal Surgery and Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
PURPOSE: Many investigators reported the advantage of laparoscopic colorectal surgery for prevention of surgical site infection (SSI). To compare wound bacterial contamination between open colorectal surgery (OC) and laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LC).METHOD: Colorectal cancer surgery with no association of ileus was evaluated between 22 OC cases and 19 LC cases. Preoperatively, only mechanical preparation was… Continue Reading

CT Scan As a Complementary Study for Colon Tumor Localization
Introduction: Our hypothesis is that a CT scan may complement colonoscopy in preop localization of colon tumors.Erroneous tumor localization via colonoscopy creates a challenging intraoperative problem for surgeons. The ideal method to minimize these errors is unclear. In this study, we have examined the ability of CT scans to properly localize colon lesions, and potentially… Continue Reading

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Outcomes of Duodenal Neoplasms
Duodenal neoplasms are rare and range from benign lesions that can be treated with endoscopic techniques to adenocarcinoma that often requires surgical resection. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of duodenal neoplasms at a large tertiary-care hospital. A retrospective review was conducted (2002-2007). Patients were identified from… Continue Reading

Does Operative Time Influence Outcome in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery?
Laparoscopy has gained acceptance for the treatment of many colorectal disorders. However, the reality that laparoscopic cases are often time consuming and take longer than the conventional open approach has led to speculation that increased operative time may negatively affect the overall patient outcome. We examine all laparoscopic cases performed by a single surgeon (N… Continue Reading

Does the Learning Curve During Laparoscopic Colectomy Adversely Affect Costs?
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the learning curve during laparoscopic colectomy (LC) is associated with increased costs when compared with the procedure after the learning curve has been achieved.Methods: Direct costs for patients undergoing LC during the learning curve (Group A) and after the attainment of proficiency by two colorectal… Continue Reading

Effects of Preventing Oxidative and Nitrooxidative Stress on Healing of Experimental Rat Colon Anastomosis
Introduction;Colon anastomosis is a frequently used technique.Decreasing oxidative substances may prevent surgeon from complications.We investigated the efficacy of N-acetyl cysteine(NAC) as an antioxidant, Ebselen as a peroxide reducer and 1400W as an inducible nitricoxide synthetase(INOS) inhibitor on ischemic and non-ischemic colon anastomosis. Methods and procedures; 90 Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Study design as follows;1)non-ischemic control… Continue Reading

Evaluation of the Short Term Outcome of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Aim: The outcome of 536 patients who underwent LAC during 1993-2007 were compared with that of 1140 patients of OC. Methods: We evaluated patient outcome in two phases; phase 1 (1993-2004) and phase 2 (2005-2007). Results: Operation time was significantly longer in LAC patients ( 254 min. v.s. 234 min.). Bleeding, postoperative hospital stay and… Continue Reading
