Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
- Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
- The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.
Purpose: New stoma creation is related to a wide range of implications and stoma-related complications could occur frequently. The aim was to assess the impact of a close stoma-therapeutic-care pathway (STCP) in terms of length of stay, autonomy in the management of the pouch, readmission rate, and stoma-related complications.
Methods: Patients undergoing surgery for colorectal disease and first stoma creation from January 2017 to December 2020 were analyzed.
Purpose: Although acute conjunctivitis has been listed from the beginning as a possible sign of COVID-19, the likelihood of this association remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 and conjunctivitis.
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, we recruited all patients with signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis seen at the Eye Emergency Department (ED), Turin Eye Hospital, between 01/01/2020 and 12/05/2020 and cross-checked our data with the Piedmont Region online COVID-19 registry in the same period.
