OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for recurrent or complicated diverticulitis requiring colectomy.
METHODS
A total of 112 patients were admitted to the West Haven Veterans Affairs Medical Center with the diagnosis of colonic diverticular disease from January 1998 to
BACKGROUND
In colorectal cancer (CRC), no biological marker is known that could serve both as a marker for detection and prognosis. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy of spin-labeled fatty acid (FA) molecules binding to human serum albumin is a suitable method for the detection of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the comorbid disease could be the predictors for the elective colectomy in colonic diverticulitis.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of 246 patients with colonic diverticulitis admitted between 2000 and 2008 was conducted, and 19 patients received emergent operation were
The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes after treatment of patients with this condition and to identify prognostic factors of morbidity and mortality. From 1986 to 2005, the charts of 114 consecutive patients who were treated for perforated sigmoid diverticulitis were retrospectively
The applications of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, but there is still controversy about its application in patients with peritonitis resulting from diverticulitis perforation. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the postoperative mortality rate in patients BACKGROUND
Patients who undergo a Hartmann's procedure may not be offered a reversal due to concerns over the morbidity of the second procedure. The aims of this study were to examine the morbidity post reversal of Hartmann's procedure.
METHODS
Patients who underwent a Hartmann's procedure for acute
Robotic surgery might have an advantage over conventional laparoscopy for colonic diverticulitis. We intend to compare both approaches in the elective management of left side diverticulitis.The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database BACKGROUND
Complicated diverticulitis is associated with a postoperative mortality rate of 20%. We hypothesized that age ≥80 was an independent risk factor for mortality after Hartmann's procedure for diverticular disease when controlling for baseline comorbidities.
METHODS
Patients who underwent an
OBJECTIVE
Hartmann's procedure for perforated diverticulitis is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study analyses factors associated with morbidity/mortality and possible changes over time.
METHODS
Patients treated by urgent Hartmann's procedure for perforated diverticulitis
This prospective study evaluated host resistance in a surgical population who walked into the hospital for elective surgery. Patients were stratified into Hospital Reactive (HR, n = 19) if they reacted to two or more of five recall skin test antigens and Walk-in Anergic (WA, n = 26) if they did not
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present study was to discuss the possible risk factors related to the parastomal infection after the patients received emergent stoma creation in colorectal obstruction that was caused by adenocarcinoma, diverticulitis, or a variety of other miscellaneous causes.
METHODS
A
The length of a patient's stay in a hospital is an indication of the patient's recovery rate. Length of hospital stay has also become an important economic factor for hospitals. This is especially true since 1983 as a result of implementation of the Prospective Payment System based on
Vaginal elimination of stool due to sigmoid-uterine fistula was the first symptom in a case of neoplasia of the sigma. Few instances of a similar fistula appear in the literature. Bouskela, Chérisié, Yourde and Taieb observed one case starting from the uterus. McGregor & Bacon have described a
BACKGROUND
Patients with liver disease face significant risk of complications and death when considering elective colorectal resection for benign or malignant indications.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the relationship between Model of End-Stage Liver Disease score and 30-day outcomes in patients
UNASSIGNED
Pathological features of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients.
