Long Rectal Cuff and Remnant Mesorectum Are Major Preventable Causes of Ileal Pouch Failure.

Background: Long rectal cuff (>2 cm) and remnant mesorectum are known causes of pouch dysfunction because of obstructive defecation as well as pelvic sepsis after prolonged obstruction.

Objective: The aim of this study was to report the rates and management of patients who underwent redo IPAA because of pouch failure associated with a retained mesorectum and long rectal cuff.

Design: This is a retrospective study.

In vitro fecal microbiota modulation properties of pectin and xyloglucan from hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) skin, an industrial byproduct, and their incorporation into biscuit formula.

The aim of this study was to extract water-soluble dietary fibers (WSDF), pectin (PEC), and xyloglucan (XG) from hazelnut skin and to determine their impacts on colonic microbiota and metabolic function. WSDF, PEC, and XG were extracted by water, acid, and alkali treatments, respectively. Monosaccharide analysis revealed WSDF and PEC were dominated by uronic acids, while the XG was found to contain xyloglucan- and pectin-associated sugars.

The fluoroquinolones may positively affect tendon healing after surgical repair.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical and histological effects of fluoroquinolones on surgically repaired tendon healing.

Materials And Methods: The Achilles tendons of 40 Wistar rats (mean weight: 213.5 g; range 201 to 242 g) were bilaterally surgically cut and repaired.

The use of incisional negative pressure wound therapy on high-risk breast cancer mastectomy patients.

Background: The main complications seen in patients who have undergone modified radical mastectomy (MRM) are seroma, surgical site infection, hematoma, wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, and nerve damage. While these complications lead to some problems the most feared effect in the early period is that they cause a delay in adjuvant treatment. Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) decreases wound dehiscence by reducing oedema and tension, especially in the incision line.

Temporary diverting loop ileostomy in Crohn's disease surgery; indications and outcome.

Introduction: Crohn's disease can present with complex surgical pathologies, posing a significant risk of morbidity and mortality for patients. The implementation of a loop ileostomy for selected patients may help minimize associated risks.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the utilization of temporary fecal diversion through the creation of a loop ileostomy in Crohn's surgery.
