AI Article Synopsis

  • Between 1984 and 1989, 30 patients with ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis underwent total coloproctectomy with J ileal pouch and ileo-anal anastomosis, with authors documenting their outcomes.
  • Post-operative complications included 23% fistulae, 6.6% pouchitis, and other issues like stenoses and bowel obstructions, with only one pouch being removed.
  • Functional results showed varied outcomes: 50% had normal continence, while 57% experienced at least 6 stools daily, and 15% faced soiling issues, indicating some correlation between complications and post-operative function.

Article Abstract

Between 1984 and 1989, 30 patients underwent total coloproctectomy with J ileal pouch and ileo-anal anastomosis. They corresponded to 29 cases of ulcerative colitis and one case of familial polyposis. The authors report their own experience and the related morbidity and functional results. There were 23% fistulae, 6.6% pouchitis, 10% stenoses, 8.7% pelvic abscesses, 10% bowel obstructions, 6.6% fistulae after ileostomy closure. Only one pouch had to be removed for severe pouchitis. Functional results were partly related to post-operative complications: 50% of patients had normal continence, 57% at least 6 stools per day, 81% had one stool per night, 15% had soiling. Morbidity is discussed for the various types of complications.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by the progressive development of multiple adenomatous polyps along the colon. The majority of individuals develop colorectal cancer by the age of 40 within the evolutionary course of the disease. For this reason, screening family members is essential to enable identification, surveillance, and appropriate intervention.

Childhood cancer survival rates have improved, but survivors face an increased risk of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), particularly thyroid cancer. This study examines the demographic, clinical, genetic, and treatment characteristics of childhood cancer survivors who developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy, emphasizing the importance of long-term surveillance. A retrospective review was conducted for childhood cancer survivors treated between 1990 and 2018 who later developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Kuwait. The effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing CRC is dependent on a high adenoma detection rate (ADR). Computer-aided detection can identify (CADe) and characterize polyps in real time and differentiate benign from neoplastic polyps, but its role remains unclear in screening colonoscopy.

Liquid biopsy methods have gained prominence as minimally invasive tools to improve cancer treatment outcomes. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) offer valuable insights into both primary and metastatic lesions. However, validating the CTC test results requires confirmation that the detected cells originate from cancer tissue.
