: The 3 cut-off values of LNRs had strong independent prognostic value in a population-based collective of patients with colorectal cancer. The LNR should be routinely reported and included in the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system. Nevertheless, the benefit of lymphadenectomy on survival is still unclear.
This large cohort reveals specific histopathological and recurrence patterns for patients with colorectal AC, MAC, and SC. MAC and SC are diagnosed at more advanced tumor stages and therefore entail reduced survival rates.
Damage control strategy in patients with generalized peritonitis due to perforated diverticulitis leads to a significantly reduced stoma rate after the initial hospital stay without an increased risk of postoperative morbidity.
This document contains the guidelines of the German Societies of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, Gastroenterology (committee for proctology), Abdominal Surgery (coloproctology working group), and Coloproctology for anorectal manometry in adults. Recommendations are given about technical notes, study preparation (equipment; patient), technique for performing manometry and data analysis, reproducibility, and indications. Minimum standards for anorectal manometry are measurement of resting and squeeze pressure, testing of rectoanal inhibitory reflex, determination of rectal sensation (first perception and urge), and calculation of rectal compliance. Anorectal manometry is indicated in patients with fecal incontinence and constipation in the context of a structured programme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
