Objective: To explore the efficacy and the security of laparoscopic technique in patients with traumatic colorectal perforation.
Methods: Clinical data of 42 patients with traumatic colorectal perforation in our hospital during March of 2005 to March of 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-two patients received traditional open operation, and 20 patients received laparoscopic treatment.
Results: As compared to open group, laparoscopic group had shorter operation time [(72 ± 36) min vs. (128 ± 52) min], less blood loss during operation [(21.2 ± 3.6) ml vs. (62.6 ± 8.8) ml], faster postoperative bowel function return[(1.7 ± 0.6) d vs. (3.5 ± 1.2) d], shorter hospital stay after operation [(7.3 ± 1.8) d vs. (13.6 ± 3.9) d], and lower incidence of postoperative complication [35.0% (7/20) vs. 72.7% (16/22)]. The differences between two were statistically significant (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: Laparoscopic operation has advantages in the treatment of traumatic colorectal perforation with short operation time, small trauma, rapid recovery and low incidence of complications.

Trauma, particularly uncontrolled bleeding, is a major cause of death. Recent evidence-based guidelines recommend the use of a tourniquet when life-threating limb bleeding cannot be controlled with direct pressure. Prehospital hemorrhage management, according to the XABCDE protocol, emphasizes the critical role of tourniquets in controlling massive bleeding.

The development of mesothelin (MSLN) epitope reactive T cells is observed in mice that are immunized with the MSLN vaccine. Engineered T cells expressing MSLN-reactive high-affinity TCR exhibit extraordinary therapeutic effects for invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in a mouse model. However, the generation of MSLN-reactive T cells through the introduction of MSLN-deficient thymus and the transplantation of the latter as a cure for cancer treatment have not been tested to date.

Traumatic perineal injuries are rare but can result in significant morbidity, particularly when the anal sphincter is injured. The management of such injuries in the pediatric population is rarely noted in the literature. We aimed to describe reconstruction in such patients using lessons learned in reoperative anorectal malformation surgery.

Background: Both coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and cancer place a heavy burden on the society and mental health of patients. Spiritual health may play a prominent role in coping with stressful conditions. Considering the existing controversy regarding the correlation between spiritual health and stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic in cancer patients, this study aimed to assess the correlation between spiritual health and COVID-19 stress in cancer patients.

Traumatic colorectal injuries can be managed by either fecal diversion or primary repair / resection and anastomosis. We aimed to study differences in outcomes in adult patients managed with or without fecal diversion at time of initial operation. The National Trauma Databank (NTDB) was used to identify adult patients (ages 18-64 years) with penetrating colonic injuries for the years 2013-2015.
