The process of functional adaptation after extensive small bowel resection is complex and imprecisely understood. In vivo electrophysiological measurements for monitoring the functional adaptive process after massive small bowel resection in Brown-Norway rats were evaluated. Rats underwent either a sham operation (SH) or a 90% small bowel resection (SB). Standard rat chow was fed in unlimited q...

Intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an extremely rare event. It might be associated with various degrees of bladder injury ranging from simple mucosal tear to rupture of the bladder. It is believed that intravesical explosion occurs due to formation of explosive gases in the bladder during TURP and its admixture with air. One case of intravesical expl...

PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the characteristics of selective spinal anesthesia using 1 mg of bupivacaine combined with fentanyl or sufentanil in elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six patients were randomized into two groups. The Fentanyl group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.2 mL+fentanyl 20 μg+5% dextrose 1.4 mL, and th...

Study sample Power calculations were not utilised to determine the sample size. The study sample consisted of 69 hospitalised TURP patients, 32 in the CP group and 37 in the control (non-CP) group. The mean age was 70.4 years (range: 54 88; median 69) for the CP group and 71.9 years (range: 52 87; median 71) for the control group. The seriousness of the condition (mean volume of the affected ar...

A case is presented of an ileosigmoid knot in a 70 year old man. A strangulated loop of ileum was wrapped around the neck of a sigmoid volvulus. Following small bowel resection and sigmoid colectomy with colostomy, the patient made an uneventful recovery.
