Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated health outcomes and functional status in elderly patients (ages >80) who underwent emergency surgery at a hospital in Spain over a year.
- Out of 568 patients, 407 were included, with an average age of 86.9, a mean hospital stay of 10.4 days, and various types of surgical interventions, revealing significant postoperative complications.
- The mortality rates were notably high: 7.1% in the hospital, 10.3% within 30 days, and 24.6% at 6 months, particularly for those with high preoperative risk profiles.
Background: Ectopic gastric mucosa has been described in different locations of the digestive tract, but that of the rectum is the least frequent.
Clinical Case: The case is described of a 48 year-old woman being investigated by the gastrointestinal department due to rectal bleeding and rectal tenesmus. Colonoscopy showed a diverticular cavity 3 cm, which was reported by histology as fundic-type heterotopic gastric mucosa.
Intraoperative peripheral nerve injury during colorectal surgery procedures is a potentially serious complication that is often underestimated. The Trendelenburg position, use of inappropriately padded armboards and excessive shoulder abduction may encourage the development of brachial plexopathy during laparoscopic procedures. In open colorectal surgery, nerve injuries are less common.
