Background: Postoperative ileus influences patients well-being, hospital stay, and health cost, and postoperative inhibition of colonic motility is a major contributor to postoperative ileus. Experimental models for investigating postoperative ileus are needed. In particular, recording of postoperative colonic motility in awake rats has not been described yet.
Material And Methods: Gastric, small intestinal, and colonic motility were recorded with strain gauge transducers in awake rats, and the effects of anesthesia and abdominal surgery on gastrointestinal motility were investigated.
Results: Ether anesthesia increased gastric motility and inhibited small intestinal motility, while enflurane anesthesia had only minor effects on gastrointestinal motility. Abdominal surgery inhibited gastric, small intestinal, and colonic motility, and a detailed analysis of gastrointestinal motility in our postoperative ileus model is given.
Conclusions: We established a model to record gastric, small intestinal, and colonic motility in awake rats postoperatively. We could demonstrate that enflurane anesthesia had little effect on gastrointestinal motility, while laparotomy and short manipulation of the cecum produced a prolonged inhibition of gastrointestinal motility. Our model could be used to investigate postoperative ileus, particularly of the colon, in awake rats.

Background: Anastomotic leak (AL) is a major complication in colorectal surgery, significantly contributing to perioperative morbidity and mortality. Among strategies to prevent AL, Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography (ICG-FA) has emerged as a promising method for assessing bowel perfusion intraoperatively. This systematic review evaluates the impact of ICG-FA on AL rates and other postoperative outcomes following colorectal anastomoses.

This article highlights some advances in visceral surgery in 2024. In the hepato-pancreato-biliary field, liquid biopsies, immunotherapy, and robotics have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment, while artificial intelligence could enhance planning and operational safety. In endocrine surgery, a more conservative approach is recommended for well-differentiated thyroid cancers.

Methods: The primary components of PTQF were characterized using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The identified compounds subsequently employed network pharmacology to predict the signaling pathways associated with the inflammatory phase of POI.

Background: The ACS-NSQIP Colectomy-Targeted database provides valuable metrics on surgical outcomes by utilizing clinical data to enhance quality improvement efforts. However, the quality measures offered in the ACS-NSQIP semiannual report do not stratify for the indication for colectomy. We aim to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colectomy for colon cancer, infectious causes, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
