[The dual competence profile: A support of collaboration between practice and science. A qualitative descriptive study].

The dual competence profile: A support of collaboration between practice and science. A qualitative descriptive study To ensure orientation towards needs existing in the realm of practice, the dual competence profile is mandatory at universities of applied sciences (UAS): in addition to academic qualifications, entrenchment in professional practice is demanded. However, it is unclear how needs, attitudes, and expectation of clinical practice regarding the interface between UAS and practice looks like.

Combining staged laparoscopic colectomy with robotic completion proctectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in ulcerative colitis for improved clinical and cosmetic outcomes: a single-center feasibility study and technical description.

Robotic proctectomy has been shown to lead to better functional outcomes compared to laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer. However, in ulcerative colitis (UC), the potential value of robotic proctectomy has not yet been investigated, and in this indication, the operation needs to be adjusted to the total colectomy typically performed in the preceding 6 months. In this study, we describe the technique and analyze outcomes of a staged laparoscopic and robotic three-stage restorative proctocolectomy and compare the clinical outcome with the classical laparoscopic procedure.

Prognostic factors in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia-novel tools for determining patient outcomes.

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a devastating disease with poor prognosis. Due to the multitude of underlying factors, prediction of outcomes remains poor. We aimed to identify factors governing diagnosis and survival in AMI and develop novel prognostic tools.

Effect of closed and permanent stoma on disease course, psychological well-being and working capacity in Swiss IBD cohort study patients.

Background: Little is known about the impact of ostomy formation in inflammatory bowel disease patients on course of disease, psychological well-being, quality of life and working capacity.

Methods: We analyzed patients over a follow-up of up to 16 years in the Swiss inflammatory bowel disease cohort study (SIBDCS) with prospective data collection. We compared Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients with and without ostomy as well as permanent and closed stoma formation before and after surgery, investigating disease activity, psychological wellbeing and working capacity in a case-control design.

Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) versus conventional laparoscopic technique for ileostomy: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Minimal-invasive surgery has gained wide acceptance in colorectal surgery. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) was designed to minimize surgical trauma and improve postoperative outcome. However, the role of SILS in ileostomy formation is unclear.
