Deloyers procedure compared to ileorectal anastomosis as restoration techniques of bowel continuity after extended left colon resection.

Background: Restoration of bowel continuity after left extended colectomy may be challenging because the remaining colon may not reach the rectal stump without tension to perform a safe anastomosis. Performing a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) is an option, but the quality of life can be significantly impaired due to loose stools and an increase in bowel frequency. In contrast, the preservation of the right colon and ileocaecal valve in the Deloyers procedure (DP) might ensure a better stool consistency and bowel transit, and therefore a superior quality of life.

Percutaneous Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair with INCRAFT Endograft Guided by CO Digital Subtraction Angiography in Patients with Renal Insufficiency.

Iodinated contrast is the most common contrast agent used during endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, its use may worsen kidney function in patients with renal insufficiency. Previous studies have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of carbon dioxide (CO)-EVAR.
