Background: This study was designed to apply modern statistical methods to evaluate risk factors for anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer resection in a retrospective cohort of patients who received a colorectostomy. Whereas a diverting stoma and tumor height are considered proven risk factors for anastomotic leakage, a lack of evidence about additional risk factors persists.
Methods: In a single-center study, 527 consecutive patients who received a colorectostomy after rectal cancer resection between 1991 and 2008 were retrospectively assessed.

Mechanical bowel preparation before elective colon resection has recently been questioned in the literature. We report a prospective study evaluating the anastomotic leak rate in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery without preoperative mechanical bowel preparation. One hundred fifty-three patients undergoing elective colon resection from July 2006 to June 2008 were enrolled into this Institutional Review Board-approved study.

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and tolerance of early removing gastrointestinal decompression and early oral feeding in the patients undergoing surgery for colorectal carcinoma.
Methods: Three hundred and sixteen patients submitted to operations associated with colorectostomy from January 2004 to September 2005 were randomized to two groups: In experimental group (n=161), the nasogastric tube was removed after the operation from 12 to 24 h and was promised immediately oral feeding; In control group (n=155), the nasogastric tube was maintained until the passage of flatus per rectum. Variables assessed included the time to first passage of flatus, the time to first passage of stool, the time elapsed postoperative stay, and postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage, acute dilation of stomach, wound infection and dehiscense, fever, pulmonary infection and pharyngolaryngitis.

Background: The ileo-anal pouch is the surgical procedure of choice for patients with Ulcerative Colitis or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, but has functional limitations such as a higher frequency of bowel movements, anal leakage, and sometimes the necessity of a protective anal pad.
Objective: To analyze the functional results and quality of life after the pelvic pouch.
Material And Methods: This is a descriptive, prolective, and cross-sectional study that analyzes the clinical variables, functional results and self-reported quality of life of patients after an ileo-anal pouch.
