Purpose: We present the experience at our institution with combined fecal and urinary diversion using 3 variations of a no anastomosis technique that avoids bowel anastomosis.
Materials And Methods: The charts of 10 female and 2 male patients who underwent the no bowel anastomosis technique were identified and reviewed. Information on the etiology of urination and defecation abnormalities, surgical resolution, complications, hospital stay and other pertinent aspects of management were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Mean patient age was 64 years (range 36 to 83). Of the 12 patients 7 had a history of cancer treated with external beam radiotherapy, while 4 had neurological disorders with combined fecal and urinary incontinence or a history of colostomy. Mean hospital stay was 14.6 days (range 6 to 31) and mean followup was 26.6 months (range 14 to 52). There were no postoperative deaths, although a nonQ wave myocardial infarction occurred in 1 patient.
Conclusions: The no anastomosis technique of combined diversion is recommended in patients with preexisting or planned diversion of the fecal stream. Avoidance of bowel anastomosis makes this technique especially advantageous in those with a history of radiotherapy.

Background: At present, the existing internal medicine drug treatment can alleviate the high glucose toxicity of patients to a certain extent, to explore the efficacy of laparoscopic jejunoileal side to side anastomosis in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the report is as follows.
Aim: To investigate the effect of jejunoileal side-to-side anastomosis on metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 78 patients with T2DM who were treated jejunoileal lateral anastomosis.

Introduction: Perioperative optimization of Crohn's disease (CD) patients is mandatory in order to ensure favorable outcomes and limit perioperative morbidity such as anastomosis-related complications. The use of perioperative tacrolimus may offer beneficial inflammatory control and improve postoperative outcome. However, it also may exhibit unwanted effects of immunosuppression on infectious complications and wound healing.

Background: High levels of precision, as well as controlled, efficient motions, are important components of microsurgical technique and success. An accurate and objective means of skill assessment is lacking in resident microsurgical education. Here we employ three-dimensional, real-time motion-tracking technology to analyze hand and instrument motion during microsurgical anastomoses.

Purpose: To evaluate henna as a durable skin marker on various skin tones for sonographic targeting and to identify the shortest duration of henna application needed for practical clinical workflow.
Materials And Methods: Prospective study applying seven henna lines through ultrasound (US) gel on the forearms of 15 healthy participants equally represented across the validated six-color bar tool. Color bar categories 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 were designated low, moderate, and high-melanin groups, respectively.

Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.
Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.
