Introduction: Retrospective studies suggest that inhalational volatile anaesthetic agents may contribute to an increased risk of metastasis and reduction in survival rates when used during cancer surgery. This relationship may vary between cancer types due to different tumour biology and differences in surgical procedures. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the type of anaesthetic used for maintenance of anaesthesia (propofol or inhalational volatile anaesthetic agent) and survival in patients with stage 1-3 colorectal cancer who underwent resection surgery under general anaesthesia in Sweden between 2014 and 2019.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study in Västmanland County, Sweden.
Introduction: Limited data exists on oncological outcomes following rectal cancer surgery in men who have previously been diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC). This study aimed to assess overall mortality and rectal cancer recurrence in men previously diagnosed with PC who underwent bowel resection.
Methods: Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry identified men who had rectal cancer surgery between 2000 and 2016, and the National Prostate Cancer Registry was used to identify those with a prior PC diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and safety of funnel-shaped synthetic mesh in preventing parastomal hernias among patients undergoing surgery for rectal adenocarcinoma.
- Conducted as a randomized trial across multiple hospitals in Finland and Sweden, it involved 143 patients, with a focus on comparing outcomes between those receiving the mesh and those who did not.
- Results revealed a significant reduction in the incidence of parastomal hernias at 12 months: 10% in the mesh group versus 37% in the control group, indicating the mesh's potential benefit in hernia prevention.
Purpose: To explore whether previous participation in clinical studies increases adherence to management guidelines in acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was designed to give a SNAPSHOT of the management of AUD at six hospitals, three of which had participated in the AVOD trial comparing antibiotic versus non-antibiotic treatment of AUD. Patients with AUD were included from March 2019 through June 2020 and followed for 90 days.
