Victor W. Fazio,Zane Cohen,James W. Fleshman,Harry van Goor,Joel J. Bauer,Bruce G. Wolff,Marvin L. Corman,Robert W. Beart,Steven D. Wexner,James M. Becker,John R. T. Monson,Howard S. Kaufman,David E. Beck,H. Randolph Bailey,Kirk A. Ludwig,Michael J. Stamos,Ara Darzi,Ronald Bleday,Richard Dorazio,Robert D. Madoff,Lee E. Smith,Susan L. Gearhart,Keith D. Lillemoe,Jonas Göhl +23 more
TL;DR: The overall bowel obstruction rate was unchanged; however, adhesive small-bowel obstruction requiring reoperation was significantly reduced by the use of Seprafilm®, which was the only factor that predicted this outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective evaluation of hepatic resection for colorectal carcinoma metastases to the liver: Gastrointestinal Tumor Study Group Protocol 6584.
TL;DR: The first multiinstitutional prospective evaluation of patients considered to have potentially resectable hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma implies that curative resection leads to an increase in median survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early results of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. Retrospective analysis of 372 patients treated by Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Therapy (COST) Study Group.
James W. Fleshman,Heidi Nelson,Walter R. Peters,H. Charles Kim,Sergio W. Larach,Richard R. Boorse,Wayne L. Ambroze,Phillip Leggett,Ronald Bleday,Steven J. Stryker,Brent Christenson,Steven D. Wexner,Anthony J. Senagore,David W. Rattner,John E. Sutton,Arthur P. Fine +15 more
TL;DR: A laparoscopic approach to colorectal cancer results in early outcome after treatment that is comparable with conventional therapy for colore CT scans, and a randomized trial is needed to compare long-term outcomes of open and laparoscopy approaches with coloreCTal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organ preservation for clinical T2N0 distal rectal cancer using neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and local excision (ACOSOG Z6041): results of an open-label, single-arm, multi-institutional, phase 2 trial
Julio Garcia-Aguilar,Lindsay A. Renfro,Oliver S. Chow,Qian Shi,Xiomara W. Carrero,Patricio B. Lynn,Charles R. Thomas,Emily Chan,Peter A. Cataldo,Jorge E. Marcet,David S. Medich,Craig S. Johnson,Samuel Oommen,Bruce G. Wolff,Alessio Pigazzi,Shane M McNevin,Roger K Pons,Ronald Bleday +17 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that nCRT followed by LE may be considered as an organ-preserving alternative in carefully selected patients with clinically-staged T2N0 tumours who refuse, or are not candidates for, transabdominal resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptomatic hemorrhoids: Current incidence and complications of operative therapy
TL;DR: Over 90 percent of symptomatic hemorrhoids can be treated conservatively or with rubber band ligation, and, as surgery is reserved for only the most severe cases, complication rates may not decrease, but it is expected that in-hospital length of stay will continue to decrease over the ensuing years.
