Aim: A description of technique, course and results of operation for left-sided obstruction of the colon with primary resection, perioperative lavage of the colon and primary anastomosis.
Design: Retrospective examination of case records.
Material: From January 1st 1994-December 31st 1997 eight operations were performed including primary resection, perioperative lavage and primary anastomosis.
Results: No anastomotic leaks were found. One patient died five days postoperatively due to cardiac complications. Three patients had postoperative cardiopulmonary complications treated medically. One patient had rupture of the fascia, was reoperated, experienced wound infection, transient serum elevation of liver enzymes and underwent ERCP with papillotomy and extraction of stones from the common bile duct two months postoperatively.
Conclusion: In this small series the technique has appeared safe, thus confirming previous reports.

Background: Targeting modifiable factors offers significant potential for primary cancer prevention. For public health strategies, it is essential to quantify the contribution from each factor on a national level. We estimated the contribution of 12 modifiable factors on cancer incidence in the Norwegian population.

Objectives: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with increased risks of breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian and rectal cancers. However, the number of cancer cases attributable to SB in Germany and the associated costs are unknown.
Setting: Numbers and proportions (population-attributable fractions, PAF) of new cancer cases attributable to SB with published risk estimates for Germany for the years 2024, 2030 and 2040.

Background: This study investigates the effectiveness of a three-dimensional reconstruction mathematical model (3D-IPR) for preoperative planning in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) with threatened surgical margins. The objective was to evaluate the utility of a 3D-IPR surgical planner tool in cases of LACC with threatened surgical margins. Additionally, the study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the 3D-IPR model against conventional CT scans in determining the infiltration of neighboring structures.
