Objective: In this clinical study, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) was chosen as the positive control group, and the clinical and biochemical efficacy of mouthwashes with green tea, white tea and essential oil (EO) as the active ingredients were aimed to be examined comprehensively.

Methods: A total of 112 participants with gingivitis were randomly assigned to four different groups and different mouthwashes were used for 4 weeks: CHX-MW group (as a positive control group), EO-MW group, GT-MW group and WT-MW group. The effects of the mouthwashes on plaque, inflammation and dental staining were evaluated by indexed scores at the beginning and 4th week.

Introduction: The evolving landscape of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) necessitates refining colonoscopic surveillance guidelines. This study outlines methodology adopted by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) Guideline Development Group (GDG) for updating IBD colorectal surveillance guidelines.

Methods And Analysis: The 'Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation' (GRADE) approach, as outlined in the GRADE handbook, was employed.

  • * Small-bowel endoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and managing NETs, working alongside other tools like biomarkers and imaging techniques.
  • * This approach can also aid in preoperative planning by locating tumors for surgery and addressing complications like variceal bleeding linked to NETs.

Introduction: Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) and total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (TC-IRA) are traditional surgical options for individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Re-appraisal and modification to these techniques, such as near-total colectomy with ileo-distal sigmoid anastomosis (NT-IDSA) and RPC with robotic intracorporeal single-stapled anastomosis (RPC-RiSSA), have been implemented in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the early postoperative outcomes associated with novel techniques employed in a single centre for restorative surgery in patients with FAP.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to estimate the 10-year risk of rectal cancer in patients who had subtotal colectomy, revealing a low cumulative incidence of 0.26% at 5 years, 0.49% at 10 years, and 0.77% at 15 years.
  • - Factors associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer included previous colonic dysplasia, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and history of elective colectomy.
  • - A significant decline in endoscopic surveillance procedures was observed during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 333 procedures performed compared to 585 in 2019.

Background: Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the most established restorative operative approach for patients with ulcerative colitis. It has associated morbidity and the potential for major repercussions on quality of life. As such, patient selection is crucial to its success.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is associated with high rates of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer [PCCRC], but further in-depth qualitative analyses are required to determine whether they result from inadequate surveillance or aggressive IBD cancer evolution.

Methods: All IBD patients who had a colorectal cancer [CRC] diagnosed between January 2015 and July 2019 and a recent [<4 years] surveillance colonoscopy at one of four English hospital trusts underwent root cause analyses as recommended by the World Endoscopy Organisation to identify plausible PCCRC causative factors.

Results: In total, 61% [n = 22/36] of the included IBD CRCs were PCCRCs.

  • The study emphasizes the need for individualized discussions between patients and their healthcare teams regarding management options for colitis-associated dysplasia to improve outcomes.
  • A multidisciplinary group developed consensus statements through systematic reviews and expert recommendations, achieving high agreement on best practices.
  • The final toolkit includes decision aids for both clinicians and patients to support shared decision-making about high cancer risk dysplasia management.

Background: There are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves.

Methods: Adult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method.

Aim: A robotic approach to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery offers advantages over other approaches in terms of precision, improved access to the pelvis and less muscular fatigue for the surgeon. The integrity of the anastomosis is also fundamental to successful IPAA surgery. The robotic platform can permit intracorporeal suturing deep within the pelvis to create a single-stapled, double purse-string anastomosis, which may reduce the risk of anastomotic complications.

Background: Anastomotic leaks represent one of the most significant complications of colorectal surgery and are the primary cause of postoperative mortality and morbidity. Sponge-assisted endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) has emerged as a minimally invasive technique for the management of anastomotic leaks; however, there are questions regarding patient selection due to the heterogeneous nature of anastomotic leaks and the application of sponge-assisted EVT by surgeons.

Method: Seven colorectal surgical experts participated in a modified nominal group technique to establish consensus regarding key questions that arose from existing gaps in scientific evidence and the variability in clinical practice.

Background: There are reported variations in the intraoperative management of Crohn's disease. This consensus statement aimed to develop a standardised protocol for photographic documentation of intraoperative findings and critical procedural steps in ileocolonic Crohn's disease surgery.

Methods: Colorectal surgeons with a specialist interest in minimally invasive surgery and inflammatory bowel disease were invited as committee members to develop a survey on the use of photo-documentation in Crohn's disease surgery.

Surveillance pouchoscopy is recommended for patients with restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis, with the surveillance interval depending on the risk of neoplasia. Neoplasia in patients with ileal pouches mainly have a glandular source and less often are of squamous cell origin. Various grades of neoplasia can occur in the prepouch ileum, pouch body, rectal cuff, anal transition zone, anus, or perianal skin.

In this study, exposure risk assessment was made by determining the acrylamide levels of some traditional foods frequently consumed by the Turkish society and registered geographical indication. For this purpose, acrylamide levels of 20 traditional foods [7 meat products, 3 loaves of bread, 3 bagels (simit), and 7 desserts] obtained from different bakeries, patisseries, and restaurants were determined by LC-MS/MS. Acrylamide levels were determined between 12.

Perianal fistulising Crohn's disease is an aggressive disease phenotype that can have a substantial detrimental impact on patients' quality of life. Current biological understanding of perianal fistulising Crohn's disease remains inadequate and previous classification systems have not provided clear guidance on therapy in clinical practice nor on defining patient cohorts within clinical trials. We propose a new classification system for perianal fistulising Crohn's disease that was developed through a modified nominal group technique expert consensus process.

Background: Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis is characterised by low number (≤100) and delayed development of colorectal adenomas. Various definitions have been used, and genotype-phenotype correlations have been suggested.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate phenotypic and genotypic correlation in patients with presumed attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis and assess familial variability.
