Background: We aimed to assess whether the risk of disease recurrence in Crohn's disease (CD) patients that undergone ileocolic resection (ICR) with temporary ileostomy and a later stoma reversal is different compared to patients that underwent a one-stage operation.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review of all patients that underwent elective primary ICR for CD between 2010 and 2022 divided into: 2S-ICR group-patients who underwent two-stage ICR. 1S-ICR group-patients who underwent one-stage ICR.
Background: Perianal abscesses require immediate incision and drainage (I&D). However, prompt bedside drainage is controversial as it may compromise exposure and thorough anal examination.
Objectives: To examine outcomes of bedside I&D of perianal abscesses in the emergency department (ED) vs.
Introduction: The incidence of incisional hernias (IH) after midline laparotomy varies from 11% to 20%. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is potentially prone to hernias because a Xiphoid to pubis laparotomy incision performed on patients who have undergone previous abdominal surgeries with the addition of chemotherapy and its related adverse effects.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis on a prospectively maintained single institution database from March 2015 to July 2020.
Purpose: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has emerged as the most effective treatment for adolescents with severe obesity. Despite the steady increase in frequency of MBS in adolescents, most reports focus on short-term (1-2 years) follow-up.
Objective: To report on long-term weight loss and status of obesity-related comorbidities of adolescents who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
