Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied patients with a severe type of Crohn's disease and looked at two different times for surgery: early (within 7 days) and delayed (after 7 days).
- They found that 112 out of 474 patients had serious issues, like abscesses, before surgery, with many needing a longer waiting period (median of 23 days) for treatment.
- The study showed no big differences in surgery methods or recovery times between the two groups, with both having similar hospital stays after surgery.
Aim: Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred approach for primary uncomplicated ileocolic resection (ICR); however, its role for repeat resections is unclear. This study assessed the outcomes of primary and repeated ICRs for Crohn's disease to examine rates of laparoscopy and patient morbidity.
Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted at a tertiary centre between 2013 and 2019.
Objective: To assess whether children with torticollis have quantifiably greater facial asymmetry than their age-matched controls using 3-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry.
Design: We retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with torticollis and age-matched volunteers who underwent 3D photogrammetry of their faces. We calculated the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between native and reflected facial images, as a measure of asymmetry.
A very rare case of cellular angiofibroma arising from the rectum in a 62-year-old man with a normal colonoscopy 2 years earlier is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in the literature. The tumor was transanally excised with clear margins, and the patient had no postoperative complications.
