Background: Nonhealing perineal wounds have been reported to be common after proctectomy for Crohn's disease (CD). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of perineal wound healing after proctectomy for CD and assessed the risk factors for nonhealing.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases from 2010 to 2023, and articles reporting perineal wound healing rates after proctectomy for CD were included.
Background And Objectives: This study compares surgical and oncological outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD)-related colorectal cancer (CRC) to those with sporadic CRC.
Methods: Patients treated between 1983 and 2013 were matched by stage, age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), cancer site, and adjuvant chemotherapy.
Results: For stages I and II, 107 patients were matched (58.
Prcis: About one-fourth of survey respondents from an ASCRS database initiate treatment for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with laser trabeculoplasty. Factors impacting physicians' choice of laser versus topical treatment for POAG were explored.
Purpose: To characterize primary treatment preferences (topical medication versus laser trabeculoplasty or intracameral sustained release implants) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and determine factors related to primary intervention selection.
Background: Medically refractory ulcerative colitis necessitates surgical intervention, with total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy being a definitive treatment. The comparison between single-port and multiport laparoscopic surgery outcomes remains underexplored.
Objective: To compare the surgical outcomes of single-port versus multiport laparoscopic surgery in patients undergoing total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis.
Introduction: There is no consensus regarding optimal curricula to teach cognitive elements of general surgery. The American Board of Surgery In-Training Exam (ABSITE) aims to measure trainees' progress in attaining this knowledge. Resources like question banks (QBs), Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) curriculum, and didactic conferences have mixed findings related to ABSITE performance and are often evaluated in isolation.

- - This study investigates the challenges elderly patients (especially those over 75) face when undergoing surgical treatment for sigmoid volvulus, specifically looking at mortality and morbidity rates over 17 years (2005-2021).
- - Data from 6775 patients showed that elderly patients had a significantly higher mortality risk (5.67 times greater) compared to those under 60, and their risk increased by 10% for each additional year of age.
- - The research also found that emergency surgeries led to higher mortality and morbidity compared to elective surgeries, and there was a noted decline in surgical outcomes over the study period.
