Postoperative Diet with an Oligomeric Hyperproteic Normocaloric Supplement versus a Supplement with Immunonutrients in Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Results of a Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.

(1) Background: For normo-nourished colorectal cancer patients, the need for immunonutrients after elective surgery is not known. (2) Methods: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase III clinical trial comparing the postoperative diet with 200 mL oligomeric hyperproteic normocaloric (OHN; experimental arm) supplement vs. 200 mL immunonutritional (IN) (active comparator) supplement twice a day for five days in 151 normo-nourished adult colorectal-resection patients following the multimodal rehabilitation ERAS protocol.

Importance of some technical aspects of the procedure of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation in patients with fecal incontinence.

Introduction: The results of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in the treatment of fecal incontinence (IF) are modest. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship of some technical aspects with the clinical response: location of the nerve, distal response (motor or sensory) and accommodation.

Methods: Prospective study of patients with FI undergoing PTNS therapy.

LONG-TERM EVOLUTION OF CONTINENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER SPHINCTEROPLASTY FOR OBSTETRIC FECAL INCONTINENCE.

Purpose: Evaluate the long-term evolution of continence and patient's quality of life after surgical treatment for obstetric fecal incontinence.

Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted including consecutive patients who underwent sphincteroplasty for severe obstetric fecal incontinence. The first phase analyzed changes in continence and impact on quality of life.

Stoma reversal after surgery for complicated acute diverticulitis: A multicentre retrospective study.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION THE AIM: was to analyse the stoma reversal rate after surgery for complicated acute diverticulitis (CAD), and more specifically the end-stoma-reversal, as well as the delay, feasibility, complications and risk factors for stoma maintenance.

Methods: A multicentre retrospective study of patients who had undergone urgent surgery for CAD with stoma formation in ten hospitals during a period of 6 years. The frequency of reversal over time and the factors affecting the decision for reversal were analysed.
