Background: Acute right colic diverticulitis (ARD) is less frequent in Western countries than acute sigmoid diverticulitis (ASD). We aimed to compare the management of ARD and ASD operated on in emergency.
Methods: All consecutive patients who had emergency surgery for ASD and ARD (2010-2021) were included in a retrospective, multicenter, cohort study.
Background: The potential oncological benefit of extending the waiting period between neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and surgical resection for rectal cancer is debated.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of prolonging this waiting period on the 5-year oncological prognosis and 2-year functional result of locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma.
Design: Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, controlled trial.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how socioeconomic deprivation affects postoperative outcomes in patients who have undergone surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD).
- Conducted across 41 French hospitals from 2010 to 2021, researchers found that 20% of the 6,415 patients experienced severe complications within 90 days post-surgery.
- Results indicated that higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation are linked to an increased risk of severe complications, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and surgery type.
Background: Postoperative rectovaginal fistula leads to a loss of patients' quality of life and presents significant challenges to the surgeon. The literature focusing specifically on postoperative rectovaginal fistulas is limited. The objective of the present study is to identify factors that can enhance the success of the management of this postoperative rectovaginal fistula.
