Does one-stitch method of temporary ileostomy affect the stoma-related complications after laparoscopic low anterior resection in rectal cancer patients?

Purpose: This current study attempted to investigate whether one-stitch method (OM) of temporary ileostomy influenced the stoma-related complications after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LLAR).

Methods: We searched for eligible studies in four databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CNKI from inception to July 20, 2023. Both surgical outcomes and stoma-related complications were compared between the OM group and the traditional method (TM) group.

Preoperative albumin-bilirubin score predicts short-term outcomes and long-term prognosis in colorectal cancer patients undergoing radical surgery.

Background: The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score is a serum biochemical indicator of liver function and has been proven to have prognostic value in a variety of cancers. In colorectal cancer (CRC), a high ALBI score tends to be associated with poorer survival.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between the preoperative ALBI score and outcomes in CRC patients who underwent radical surgery.

The "appearing" and "disappearing" ascites in the treatment of colorectal cancer: a case report.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. In the treatment of patients with CRC, oxaliplatin plays a pivotal role, with moderate side effects. Neurotoxicity, myelosuppression, ototoxicity, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, and rhabdomyolysis induced by oxaliplatin have been reported individually.

Predictors of complications after prophylactic ileostomy reversal for rectal cancer: A retrospective study.

Background: Previous studies have analyzed the risk factors for complications after ileostomy reversal for rectal cancer (RC), but there were significant differences in the reported risk factors for complications after stoma reversal. No studies have analyzed the risk factors for stoma-related complications and overall postoperative complications separately.

Aim: To analyze the risk factors for overall complications and stoma-related complications after ileostomy reversal for patients with RC.

Is recovery enhancement after gastric cancer surgery really a safe approach for elderly patients?

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in elderly patients with gastric cancer (GC).

Aim: To evaluate the safety of ERAS in elderly patients with GC.

Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were used to search for eligible studies from inception to April 1, 2023.

Early postoperative complications after transverse colostomy closure, a retrospective study.

Background: Ostomy is a common surgery usually performed to protect patients from clinical symptoms caused by distal anastomotic leakage after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and perforation or to relieve intestinal obstruction.

Aim: To analyze the complications after transverse colostomy closure.

Methods: Patients who underwent transverse colostomy closure from Jan 2015 to Jan 2022 were retrospectively enrolled in a single clinical center.

Remission of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease After Radical Surgery in Patients with Colorectal Cancer: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between remission of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and radical surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. From January 2014 to December 2021, data of patients with concurrent CRC and NAFLD who underwent radical surgery in a single-center hospital were retrospectively collected. NAFLD was defined as a mean computed tomography (CT) liver attenuation value of <40 Hounsfield units (HUs).

Effect of intraoperative blood loss on postoperative complications and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer: A meta‑analysis.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the amount of intraoperative blood loss (IBL) affects the complications and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library databases were used to search for eligible studies from inception to November 30, 2020. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cls) were pooled up.

Quality and educational content of Douyin and TikTok short videos on early screening of rectal cancer.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the quality and content of videos on Douyin and TikTok for their educational role on early screening of rectal cancer (RC).

Methods: We conducted a search for videos related to RC on the Douyin and TikTok applications on 20 April 2023. The search was conducted in Chinese on Douyin and in English and Japanese on TikTok.

Hyperuricemia remission after colorectal cancer surgery for colorectal cancer patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) combined with hyperuricemia remitted 1 year after CRC surgery. CRC patients combined with hyperuricemia who underwent radical surgery were included from a single clinical center from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021. Baseline characteristics was compared between the remission group and the non-remission group.

Does previous gastrectomy history affect the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Purpose: This current study aimed to explore whether gastrectomy history influenced surgical outcomes while undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for eligible studies from inception to April 29, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was adopted to assess the quality of included studies.

The Use of Metformin and Postoperative Insulin Pump Were Predictive Factors for Outcomes of Diabetic Colorectal Cancer Patients after Surgery.

Purpose: This present study aims to explore the influence of metformin and postoperative insulin pump use on colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received surgery in terms of short-term and long-term outcomes.

Methods: 613 CRC patients who had comorbid T2DM and received surgery at a single clinical center from Jan, 2011 to Dec, 2021 were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to find predictive factors for overall complications and major complications.

Effect of serum lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR) on the short-term outcomes and long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer after radical surgery.

Background: Whether serum lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR) influenced the outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after radical surgery remained unclear. Therefore, this study sought to examine how LAR influences the short-term and long-term outcomes of CRC patients who have undergone radical surgery.

Methods: This study retrospectively included CRC patients who underwent radical resection between January 2011 and January 2020.

Endoscopic incision of rectal diverticulum: A case report.

A 70-year-old woman with a rectal diverticulum presented with anal pendant expansion and difficulty in defecation for more than 1 year. The patient was diagnosed with a rectal diverticulum by pelvic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), rectal angiography, and colonoscopy. The endoscopic diverticulum incision procedure (EDIP) was implemented with this patient.
