Laparoscopic colorectal surgery had been widely used for colorectal cancer patient and showed a favorable outcome on the postoperative morbidity rate. We attempted to evaluate physiological status of patients by mean of Estimation of physiologic ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) system and to analyze the difference variation of postoperative morbidity rate of open and laparoscopic colorectal...

Objectives The objective of the present study was to compare prognosis of patients with gastric or colorectal cancer according to places where they received surgeries. Methods The cancer patients underwent surgeries in sampled hospitals located in Daegu were matched 1:1 to the patients who visited sampled hospitals in Seoul using propensity score method. After the occurrences of death were ex...

the aim of this paper is to introduce new methods of colorectal and anus surgeries. it is not a comprehensive paper and just is a summary of issues related to colon surgeries due to intestinal inflammatory diseases (ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease), and anus cancer. ulcerative colitis usually initiates from rectum and then develops upward to colon. there are three methods of surgery...

Purpose The impact of previous abdominal surgery (PAS) on surgical outcomes from laparoscopic and robot surgeries is inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the impact of PAS on perioperative outcomes from laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgeries. Methods From March 2007 to February 2014, a total of 612 and 238 patients underwent laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, respectively. Pa...

Over the past 15 years, several randomized controlled trials, long-term follow-up studies, meta-analyses, and editorials have been published in regard to the effect of a high fraction of inspired oxygen concentration (FiO(2)) during the perioperative period on the incidence of surgical site infections. Although the evidence is not uniformly favorable for all types of surgeries, a beneficial ass...

BACKGROUND Surgery is the primary treatment for colorectal cancer for both curative and palliative intent. Availability of high quality surgery data is essential for assessing many aspects of the quality of colorectal cancer care. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of different administrative data sources in identifying surgery for colorectal cancer with respect to complet...

BACKGROUND The value of the preparation of the colon prior colorectal surgery remains debatable. Since installed as traditional the use of this routine, few studies have been conducted to support the safety of surgeries done without mechanical bowel preparation. AIM To determine if there is a correlation between postoperative complications and no use of mechanical bowel preparation in operate...

Iatrogenic ureteric injuries are a well-documented consequence of non-urological abdomino-pelvic surgeries. Colorectal resections for benign inflammatory diseases associated with obliteration the planes. In such situations, identifying and securing ureter during laparoscopy is challenging due to absence tactile feedback. We describe use real-time near-infrared Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescen...
