Purpose: With the prolonged survival time of patients with permanent colostomy for colorectal cancer, they and their spouses face tremendous pressure and development dilemmas that can easily lead to family adaptation crises. This qualitative study amid to explore the dyadic experiences of family resilience among Chinese patients with permanent colostomy and their spouses.
Methods: A phenomenological research method was adopted. Semi-structured, in-depth, face-to-face interviews with 10 dyads of patients with permanent colostomy and their spouses were recruited through purposive sampling from a public tertiary hospital in China from March 2023 to July 2023.The Dyadic interview analysis and Colaizzi methods were used to analyze the interview data.
Results: Three themes and nine subthemes were developed. (1) family crisis and dichotomous coping with stress-family crisis and coping pressure caused by enterostomy; (2) Adjustment and adaptation within the family-Joint adjustment and adaptation within the couple's family; and (3) integration and utilization of multi-dimensional social external resources (micro-level, meso-level, and macro-level).
Conclusions: Couples living with permanent colostomy often undergo a complex emotional journey, experiencing varied levels of individual stress as they navigate social interactions and daily activities, which can contribute to a decline in family adaptation. With the help of the perspective of family advantage, health practitioners should pay attention to the evaluation of individual factors and family environmental resources, to fully mobilize advantage resources and give effective interventions to improve the family and social adaptation level of patients and their spouses.

Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background: Surgeries performed on the gastrointestinal system represent a significant caseload among small animal surgeries. Colostomy aims to temporarily or permanently divert the gastrointestinal tract but it is not commonly performed in veterinary medicine. Information regarding such procedures is scarce and the surgical technique is poorly described.

Background: Prophylactic mesh placement when creating a permanent colostomy was recommended by the 2017 European Hernia Society guidelines on the prevention and treatment of parastomal hernias (GPTPH2017). The extent of this recommendation is under debate based on the long-term data from clinical trials. Our aim was to conduct a survey of surgeons revealing perspectives and concerns regarding GPTPH2017 and to discuss their concerns.

Background: Hartmann's procedure (sigmoid resection with end colostomy) is a commonly performed emergency procedure for diseases of the sigmoid colon.
Aim: To determine the proportion of patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal (restoration of GI continuity) following Hartmann's procedure, the clinical and demographic factors associated with reversal, and the reasons for non-reversal.
Method: This is a single center, retrospective audit of patients undergoing Hartmann's procedure between June 2011 and May 2020.

Article Synopsis
- Surgeons face a choice between single-stage or delayed repair for contaminated ventral hernias, and this study compares outcomes of both methods regarding wound complications, hernia recurrence, and quality of life.
- Data was analyzed from patients who had abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with synthetic mesh from January 2014 to August 2023, assessing outcomes for those who had delayed and single-staged repairs.
- Findings showed that both groups had similar rates of wound complications, reoperations, and hernia recurrence, suggesting that either repair method might be equally effective in this context.
