Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer surgery can lead to cognitive decline, especially in older patients, but there's no standard way to measure this post-operative issue.
- A scoping review analyzed 49 studies to evaluate how cognitive function was assessed after colorectal cancer surgeries, revealing a variety of tools and inconsistent definitions used across research.
- Most studies indicated some level of cognitive decline post-surgery, with recovery noted over time, but the reported incidence of decline greatly varied, highlighting a lack of uniformity in assessment methods and outcomes.
Objective: To compare long-term outcomes after laparoscopic lavage with resection surgery for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey grade III as practiced in Sweden for 3 years.
Background: Laparoscopic lavage has been studied in 3 randomized controlled trials. Long-term results indicate that additional surgery and a remaining stoma are less common after lavage compared with resection, but data from routine care and larger cohorts are needed to get a more complete picture.
Background: High rates of negative intrusive thoughts have been reported among cancer patients. Prevalent users of beta-blocker therapy have reported lower levels of cancer related intrusive thoughts than non-user. The aim of this study is to investigate if initiation of beta-blocker therapy reduces the prevalence and severity of intrusive thoughts (co-primary endpoints) and the prevalence of anxiety, depressed mood, and low quality of life (secondary endpoints) in cancer survivors.

Method: PHYSSURG-C is an RCT in six participating hospitals in Sweden. Patients aged ≥20 years planned for elective colorectal cancer surgery were eligible.
Background: Laparoscopic lavage as a treatment for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey III, has been found safe and feasible in randomized trials. A few studies have reported functional outcomes and quality of life as secondary outcomes. This study investigated distress associated with dysfunction of the bowel or stoma, functional outcomes, and quality of life 2-3 years after surgery in a national unselected cohort.
