Objective: To evaluate the effect of onlay mesenteric flaps (MFs) with end-to-end jejunojejunostomy on stomal diameter, length of jejunum with reduced stomal diameter, abdominal adhesion formation, and healing.

Study Design: Experimental study.

Animals: Healthy adult horses (n = 6).

Methods: Two hand sewn end-to-end jejunal anastomoses using a 1 layer simple continuous serosubmucosal suture pattern were performed in each horse ∼ 2 and 5 m oral to the ileocecal fold. Using a random design for selection anastomosis location (oral or aboral), 1 anastomosis was covered with 2 adjacent onlay MFs secured with interrupted sutures and cyanoacrylate glue. Two weeks later, adhesion formation, stomal diameter, length of reduced jejunal stomal diameter, and healing were evaluated.

Results: Use of onlay MFs decreased stomal diameter (P = .05), increased length of reduced peristomal jejunal diameter (P = .05), surgical time (P = .003), and serosal fibrosis (P = .05). No difference was evident for adhesion formation, and degree of inflammation between techniques.

Conclusion: End-to-end jejunojejunostomy covered with 2 onlay MFs is not recommended because this technique results in luminal reduction.

Objective: To evaluate simulated parastomal herniation forces in in vitro abdominal fascial models. Our group previously illustrated how incision type may play a consequential role in bowel herniation force generated across an incision using several abdominal fascia models. We sought to (1) Confirm findings in fresh human tissue, (2) Assess correlation between herniation force and incision size, and (3) Determine whether incision type impacts drainage in a simulated ex vivo ileal conduit.

Background: Patients who have had laryngectomy require a thorough preoperative assessment for potential stomal stenosis, and an action plan for possible inadvertent displacement of the voice prosthesis (VP) must be considered. We report the anesthetic management of a post-laryngectomy patient undergoing lung resection surgery. The patient had both a laryngectomy and a VP .

Aim: Surgery is the optimum treatment approach in cases of colorectal cancer, with open or minimally invasive surgery options applied to patients in general surgery clinics. We present here an assessment of our use of robotic colorectal surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Method: The outcomes of robotic colorectal surgeries performed in the General Surgery Clinic of Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital were evaluated.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether mucous fistula refeeding (MFR) is safe and beneficial for the growth and intestinal adaptation of preterm infants with enterostomies.

Methods: This exploratory randomized controlled trial enrolled infants born before 35 weeks' gestation with enterostomy. If the stomal output was ≥ 40 mL/kg/day, infants were assigned to the high-output MFR group and received MFR.

Revision Amputation with Press-Fit Osseointegration for Transfemoral Amputees.

Unlabelled: Press-fit transfemoral osseointegration is the technique of inserting an intramedullary metal implant into the residual femur of an amputee; the implant is passed transcutaneously to attach to a standard prosthesis that includes a knee, tibia, ankle, and foot. This allows the prosthesis to be skeletally anchored, eliminating socket-related problems such as tissue compression that can provoke neurogenic pain, skin abrasion, and fitting problems resulting from residual limb size fluctuation. Amputees with osseointegrated prostheses typically wear their prosthesis more and experience better mobility, quality of life, and extremity proprioception compared to those with socket prostheses.
