A total of 232 patients presenting occlusive ileus caused by colorectal carcinoma undergo operative treatment in the period 1979 through 1990. In 160 of them the tumor is located in the colon, and in seventy-two--in the rectum. One-hundred twenty-two radical and 110 palliative operations are performed (52.58 and 47.42 per cent, respectively). Postoperative lethality amounts to 24.57 per cent, with underlying causes peritonitis (35.08%) and severe ileus intoxication (21.05%). The causes of postoperative lethality are analyzed with a special reference to tumor location, extensiveness of the surgical intervention, clinical course of the disease, concurrent complications and concomitant diseases. The lowest is the mortality rate following radical two-stage operations with removal of the neoplasm in the first stage.

: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, primarily caused by acute thrombosis over atherosclerotic plaques. Simultaneous acute thrombosis in two coronary arteries is an exceptionally rare event. This report highlights a unique case of STEMI associated with cardiogenic shock due to dual coronary artery thrombosis and provides insights from a literature review on this rare condition.

Article Synopsis
- The first-line treatment for acute mesenteric vein thrombosis is anticoagulant therapy with heparin, but some patients may still develop serious complications like bowel infarction.
- A 38-year-old male patient diagnosed with port-superior mesenteric vein thrombosis underwent urgent bowel resection due to worsening symptoms and signs of peritonitis despite initial anticoagulation.
- After surgery, he was treated with long-term anticoagulant therapy, initially with warfarin, following the identification of a protein C and S deficiency, highlighting the potential for recanalization in patients who fail early treatment.
Controversies and Future Directions in Management of Acute Appendicitis: An Updated Comprehensive Review.
J Clin Med
May 2024
Department of Surgery, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Acute appendicitis has a lifetime risk of 7-8%, with treatment options including non-operative management (NOM) using antibiotics and surgery, depending on the patient's health.
- Interval appendectomy (IA) involves delayed surgery and is useful for patients with contained perforations, as it can help identify the nature of the condition and lower recurrence risks.
- Post-surgery, careful closure of the appendiceal stump is crucial and can be done with various methods, while debates continue regarding the management, complications, and the potential of endoscopic appendectomy.

Purpose: Preserving the ileocecal valve (ICV) has shown significant benefits. We present our experience with 18 infants who underwent ileocecal valve-preservation ileocecostomy (IVPI) with an extremely short distal ileum after primary ileostomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on IVPI cases between 2014 and 2020.

Primary liposarcoma of the colon is extremely rare in the literature. We present a case of a 51-year-old male patient with recurrent ascending colon liposarcoma, which caused obstructive ileus, just a few days prior to his scheduled elective operation and led us to expedite his surgery. The procedure was scheduled to be a robotic right colectomy.
