Article Synopsis
- A study was done to understand how often colorectal cancer (CRC) happens after colonoscopies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- The research found that about 30.8% of IBD patients developed post-colonoscopy CRC within three years, compared to just 6.8% in those without IBD.
- Also, patients with ulcerative colitis had a higher rate of this cancer than those with Crohn's Disease, which means more research is needed to understand why this happens.
Laparoscopic surgery is a choice of treatment for liver diseases; it can decrease postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay (LOS). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension may benefit from minimally invasive liver resections (MILRs) instead of open liver resections (OLRs). Whether minimally invasive approaches are superior to conventional ones is still a matter of debate.
