Ischemic proctosigmoiditis due to retroperitoneal hematoma.

Gastrointestinal ischemia is caused by ischemic colitis in 50-60% of cases and is associated with high morbidity and mortality among patients. Ischemic proctosigmoiditis is a very rare disorder with only few cases reported. Due to collateral blood supply the rectum is only affected in 2-5% of all cases of ischemic colitis.

No difference in incidence of port-site hernia and chronic pain after single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a nationwide prospective, matched cohort study.

Background: Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) is regarded as the gold standard for cholecystectomy. However, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) has been suggested to replace CLC. This study aimed at comparing long-term incidences of port-site hernia and chronic pain after SLC versus CLC.

Biologic treatment or immunomodulation is not associated with postoperative anastomotic complications in abdominal surgery for Crohn's disease.

Objectives: There are concerns that biologic treatments or immunomodulation may negatively influence anastomotic healing. This study investigates the relationship between these treatments and anastomotic complications after surgery for Crohn's disease.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study on 417 operations for Crohn's disease performed at four Danish hospitals in 2000-2007.

Fewer urological complications after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair without indwelling catheter.

Introduction: The number of procedures involving transabdominal preperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia (TAPP) has increased in Denmark. Optimized perioperative regimens are needed.

Material And Methods: This retrospective, single-institution study included consecutive patients during an eight-year period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2007 (period I) and from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009 (period II).
