TL;DR: When cefuroxime is used as a prophylactic antibiotic, administration 59 to 30 minutes before incision is more effective than administration during the last half hour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical glove perforation and the risk of surgical site infection.
Heidi Misteli,Walter P. Weber,Stefan Reck,Rachel Rosenthal,Marcel Zwahlen,Philipp Fueglistaler,Martin Bolli,Daniel Oertli,Andreas F. Widmer,Walter R. Marti +9 more
TL;DR: Without surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis, glove perforation increases the risk of SSI and the likelihood of asepsis in procedures in which gloves were perforated is higher.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disseminated single tumor cells as detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction represent a prognostic factor in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Investigation of patients at high risk for metastatic disease after curative resection of colorectal cancer might be improved by analyzing peritoneal lavage specimens in addition to blood samples, and suggests that detection of mRNA coding for CEA and/or CK20 using qPCR has potential clinical utility as a prognostic marker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective axillary surgery in breast cancer patients based on positron emission tomography with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose: not yet!
Ulrich Guller,Egbert U. Nitzsche,Udo Schirp,Carsten T. Viehl,Joachim Torhorst,Holger Moch,Igor Langer,Walter R. Marti,Daniel Oertli,Felix Harder,Markus Zuber +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that detection of small axillary lymph node metastases is limited by the currently achievable spatial resolution of PET imaging and selective axillary surgery based on 18F-FDG PET is yet not possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative detection of disseminated tumour cells is an independent prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer
TL;DR: The objective of the present investigation was to assess the prognostic significance of disseminated tumour cells in peritoneal lavage, and peripheral and mesenteric venous blood in patients undergoing curative resection of colorectal cancer.
