[Stapled vs. hand-sewn colorectal anastomosis in complicated colorectal cancer--a retrospective study].

Unlabelled: Emergens in colorectal pathology are in most cases by complications of cancer. The prognosis for colorectal cancer is poor when this pathology is addressed in emergency situations because, on one hand, of the organ specific structure, blood supply, septic content and, on the other hand, because of the special group of patients with this pathology: aged, immunosuppressed and with various comorbidities. The high rate of postoperative complications of these patients requires a specific management.

[Splenic angioembolization--a safe, efficient and rational approach].

The authors present a case of postraumatic splenic rupture grade III (AAST-OIS), with injury severity score 10, revised trauma score 7841 managed nonoperatively, by angioembolization, with successful outcome. The indications and different types of splenic angioembolization in trauma are discussed, together with the role of this procedure in increasing the success rate of nonoperative management. Up to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of therapeutic splenic angioembolization in the Romanian medical literature.

[Köhlmeier-Degos disease (Malignant Atrophic Papulosis): a cause of recurrent multiple intestinal perforations].

Malignant Atrophic Papulosis (MAP) or Degos disease is a very rare vasculopathy affecting multiple systems. When associated with gastrointestinal tract or central nervous system involvment, patients with Degos disease have a poor prognosis and a high mortality. We report a case of Degos disease with systemic involvement, which ultimately caused peritonitis, sepsis, and death, despite all treatment.
