TL;DR: In current practice of colorectal surgery, operative factors are more important than patient factors for SSI and good surgical technique to reduce anastomotic leakage and reduce blood transfusion has paramount importance in SSI prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term outcome of stenting as a bridge to surgery for acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction.
TL;DR: This study aimed to evaluate both the short‐ and long‐term outcomes associated with colonic stenting as a bridge to surgery in patients with obstructing adenocarcinoma of the colon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single incision laparoscopic left colectomy for carcinoma of distal transverse colon
TL;DR: A single‐incision laparoscopic left colectomy for a patient with a distal transverse colon cancer is reported for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-expanding metallic stents for acute left-sided large-bowel obstruction: a review of 130 patients.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of self‐expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placement in acute left‐sided large‐bowel obstruction.
