Article Synopsis
- This study protocol outlines a clinical trial evaluating transoral and transcervical ultrasonography (US) for diagnosing oropharyngeal cancer in patients referred to specialized centers.
- The trial will assess the effectiveness of US in detecting tumors and estimating their size and T-stage before confirming results with other methods like MRI and histopathology.
- Key outcome measures will include diagnostic accuracy metrics such as sensitivity and specificity, along with comparisons between US, MRI, and CT for estimating tumor size, with a focus on providing valuable insights for clinical practice.
Introduction: Laparoscopic colectomy for both benign and malignant disease, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), has recently been shown to have many advantages compared with open surgery. This study aimed to compare the effect of laparoscopic versus open subtotal colectomy (STC) for IBD on overall morbidity.
Material And Methods: A total of 99 patients undergoing STC for IBD at our institution from 2007 through 2011 were identified.
