Physicians of various specialties usually see patients with these conditions before being referred to colorectal specialists, frequently with an incorrect diagnosis.We sought to evaluate the effect of attending an outpatient colorectal clinic by medical students on the diagnostic accuracy of these conditions.

Intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer: an overview.

The treatment of rectal cancer has evolved from being solely a surgical endeavor to a multidisciplinary practice. Despite the improvement in outcomes conferred by the addition of chemoradiation therapy to rectal cancer treatment, advances in surgical technique have significantly increased rates of sphincter preservation and the avoidance of a permanent stoma. In recent years, intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer has been offered and performed in patients as an alternative to abdominoperineal resection.

The effect of L-arginine and aprotinin on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Background: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) results in local mucosal injury, systemic injuries, and organ dysfunction. These injuries are characterized by altered microvascular and epithelial permeability and villous damage. Activation of neutrophils, platelets, and endothelial factors are known to be involved in this process.

Bile leaks from the duct of Luschka (subvesical duct): a review.
