Purpose: Some popular surgical methods with big trauma to treat slow-transit constipation (STC) at present are far from satisfactory. This work is aimed to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of a redesigned procedure of subtotal colonic bypass and antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy (SCBAC) for the treatment of STC.
Methods: The clinical data of 18 patients with severe idiopathic STC treated with SCBAC between September 2003 and September 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The last eight patients accepted SCBAC were assessed by short form-36 (SF-36) scores translated into Chinese to inquire upon the quality of life before and 6 months after operation.
Results: There were no procedure-related deaths in this series (mortality, 0%) or any serious complication. The average follow-up period was 17 months (range, 6-60 months). There was no intestinal occlusion due to adhesions that required surgery in all these patients. Scores for all SF-36 subscales were significantly higher for patients after operation than for before operation. A high number of patients (83%) expressed a willingness to repeat the procedure given the same preoperative conditions.
Conclusion: Our clinical practice demonstrates that the procedure of SCBAC is effective for the treatment of severe idiopathic STC in some cases. Due to its mild trauma and less operating time, SCBAC is almost well-tolerated and compatible in all age groups, making it worthy of further practice and investigation.

In today's world, with its continuing advancements in genetics, the identification of Lynch syndrome (LS) increasingly relies on sophisticated genetic testing techniques. Most guidelines recommend a tailored surveillance program, as well as personalized prophylactic and therapeutic approaches, according to the type of dMMR gene mutation. Carriers of path_MLH1 and path_MSH2 genes have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), despite intensive colonoscopic surveillance.

Gallbladder disease is a frequent indication for non-obstetric surgical intervention during pregnancy. Gallbladder perforation (GBP) during pregnancy is an uncommon but severe pathology that usually requires immediate attention, and it represents a challenge for surgeons. We present the case of a GBP in a pregnant patient alongside a discussion of available surgical approaches.

Article Synopsis
- - Groove pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the area where the pancreas, duodenum, and bile duct meet, and it can be difficult to differentiate from groove pancreatitis due to similar symptoms and imaging results.
- - A 54-year-old male patient experienced severe gastrointestinal symptoms and imaging showed a problematic lesion near the pancreas, but doctors were unable to confirm malignancy before surgery.
- - After surgical intervention, the diagnosis of groove pancreatic adenocarcinoma was confirmed, but despite treatment, the patient passed away 17 months later, highlighting the need to consider groove pancreatic cancer in similar cases.
Undetected Dysplasia at Colectomy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. What Are We Missing?
Inflamm Bowel Dis

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background And Aims: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher risk of developing colorectal dysplasia and colorectal cancer compared to the general population. Although the use of surveillance protocols has improved the ability to detect dysplasia, some lesions are still missed at colonoscopy. This study aims to determine the rate of dysplastic lesions that are undetected at colonoscopies in IBD patients undergoing colectomy and to identify factors associated with missed dysplasia.
