Does enhanced recovery improve the survival rates of patients 3 years after undergoing surgery to remove a tumor in the colon?

Purpose: The advantages of enhanced recovery programs (ERP) after colorectal surgery for morbidity and length of stay are well known. On a longer term, evidence is much more limited. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of ERP on survival after 3 years of follow-up, following colorectal cancer surgery.

The Predictive Value of Pulse Wave Velocity for Anastomotic Leakage After Colorectal Surgery.

Background: Arterial perfusion defects are a risk factor for anastomotic leakage (AL) following colorectal surgery. Measuring arterial stiffness using pulse wave velocity (PWV) is known to reflect the performance of the arterial network. The objective of this study was to assess the predictive value of PWV for AL after colorectal surgery.

Long-term functional outcomes of perineal gangrene: worse than expected?-an observational retrospective study.

Purpose: For survivors of perineal gangrene (PG), quality of life and functional prognosis of pelvic functions are probably overestimated. The aim of this study was to report long-term anal and urinary sphincter dysfunctions, sexual sequelae, and patients' quality of life after treatment of perineal gangrene.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in one university hospital over 16 years.
