Background: Complete mesocolic excision with D3 lymph node dissection in right-sided colon cancer is associated with improved oncological outcomes, but can potentially be associated with higher rates of complications compared to conventional D2 right hemicolectomy. This study aims to evaluate the oncological and perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent D3 right hemicolectomy, comparing to conventional right hemicolectomy.

Methods: From 2015 to 2020, 360 patients underwent right hemicolectomy for colonic malignancies.

Background: Long-term outcome of sacral nerve modulation (SNM) patients after implanted pulse generator (IPG) change for fecal incontinence (FI) is unknown. This study reported the outcome and long-term satisfaction after a change of an exhausted IPG, questioning the need to concurrently change the electrode and looking for factors involved in the maintenance of treatment efficiency.

Methods: Patients with fecal incontinence and with a Medtronic IPG implanted in a single center (2001-2016) were prospectively followed up.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tse Han Loong"

  • - Tse Han Loong's research primarily focuses on surgical oncology and neuromodulation, exploring the outcomes and effectiveness of advanced surgical techniques and treatment approaches for colorectal cancer and fecal incontinence.
  • - In his 2022 study on right hemicolectomy for colon cancer, Loong found that while D3 lymph node dissection offers improved oncological outcomes, it is also associated with increased complication rates compared to the conventional D2 procedure.
  • - His earlier research on sacral nerve modulation for fecal incontinence highlighted the long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction following the replacement of implanted pulse generators, addressing considerations for maintaining treatment efficiency and the necessity of concurrent electrode changes.
