Early discharge after enhanced recovery rectal resection does not increase emergency department visits and readmissions: a single institution analysis.

Background: Same-day discharge after colectomy in enhanced recovery pathways has been shown to be feasible. It is not clear how early patients with rectal resections may be safely discharged. The study aim was to determine if patients discharged ≤ 3 days after rectal resections are associated with increased rates of emergency department (ED) visits and hospital readmissions.

A Giant Kidney Stone in a 50-Year-Old Mayan Gardener From the Yucatan Peninsula: A Case Report.

Urolithiasis is a prevalent urological condition characterized by stone formation in the urinary tract, but stones weighing more than 100 g are rare.

The patient's occupation may play a significant role in enhancing these factors.
