- - This study discusses a rare adverse event (AE) of gastrovesical fistula that occurred after the minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON), an approach known to lower risks compared to traditional surgery.
- - A 42-year-old man faced complications from transgastric drainage of a large WON, including inadvertent bladder penetration due to a stent, but was treated through a collaborative, non-surgical effort involving multiple medical specialties.
- - The findings emphasize the need for awareness of potential AEs like gastrovesical fistula in endoscopic procedures and highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary strategies for effective management.
Introduction: The management of patients with COVID-19 infection has placed great pressure on the healthcare systems around the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment outcomes of patients with rectal cancer by comparing them to those of patients with the same diagnosis in the pre-pandemic period.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis of patients undergoing multimodal treatment for rectal cancer at the four university hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) and the 2-year pre-pandemic period (2018-2019).
Purpose: The study aimed to determine a simple diagnostic test that could predict the risk of anastomotic leakage in early postoperative period.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective study was conducted. The electronic medical records of patients who underwent resection for rectal tumor between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, in University Hospital Olomouc, were reviewed.
Background: Diffuse peritonitis is an acute abdominal condition characterized by high mortality. The main treatment modality is surgery, requiring a subsequent prolonged hospital stay. These patients are, among other things, at risk of developing hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), which considerably worsens their treatment outcomes.
