Journal ArticleDOI
Is local excision adequate therapy for early rectal cancer
Anders Mellgren,Prayuth Sirivongs,David A. Rothenberger,Robert D. Madoff,Julio Garcia-Aguilar +4 more
TL;DR: Local excision of early rectal cancer carries a high risk of local recurrence, and when compared with radical surgery, local excision may compromise overall survival in patients with T2 rectal cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of endorectal ultrasonography in preoperative staging of rectal tumors
Julio Garcia-Aguilar,Johan Pollack,Suk-Hwan Lee,Enrique Hernandez De Anda,Anders Mellgren,W. Douglas Wong,Charles O. Finne,David A. Rothenberger,Robert D. Madoff +8 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of endorectal ultrasonography in assessing the depth of tumor invasion, particularly for early cancers, is lower than previously reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local excision of rectal cancer without adjuvant therapy: a word of caution
Julio Garcia-Aguilar,Anders Mellgren,Prayuth Sirivongs,Donald Buie,Robert D. Madoff,David A. Rothenberger +5 more
TL;DR: Local excision of early rectal cancer, even in the ideal candidate, is followed by a much higher recurrence rate than previously reported, and although most patients in whom local recurrence develops can be salvaged by radical resection, the long-term outcome remains unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sacral spinal nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence: multicentre study
Klaus E. Matzel,Michael A. Kamm,Michael Stösser,Cor G. M. I. Baeten,John Christiansen,Robert D. Madoff,Anders Mellgren,R. John Nicholls,Josep Rius,Harald R. Rosen +9 more
TL;DR: Sacral nerve stimulation greatly improves continence and quality of life in selected patients with morphologically intact or repaired sphincter complex offering a treatment for patients in whom treatment options are limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sacral Nerve Stimulation for Fecal Incontinence: Results of a 120-Patient Prospective Multicenter Study
Steven D. Wexner,John A. Coller,Ghislain Devroede,Tracy L. Hull,Richard W. McCallum,Miranda Chan,Jennifer M. Ayscue,Abbas S. Shobeiri,David A. Margolin,Michael England,Howard S. Kaufman,William J. Snape,Ece Mutlu,Heidi K. Chua,Paul D. Pettit,Deborah Nagle,Robert D. Madoff,Darin R. Lerew,Anders Mellgren +18 more
TL;DR: Sacral nerve stimulation using InterStim Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with FI and no reported unanticipated adverse device effects are reported.
