  2. 21. Early closure of a temporary ileostomy after rectal resection for cancer

    Author : Jennifer Park; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rectal cancer; temporary ileostomy; surgery;

    Abstract : A temporary ileostomy may reduce symptoms of anastomotic leakage after rectal resection for cancer. However, the stoma itself is associated with morbidity and early closure may reduce these symptoms. READ MORE

  4. 22. Quality of life after esophageal cancer surgery

    Author : Pernilla Viklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cancer; complications; esophageal neoplasm; gastric cardia; register; supportive care; surgery; quality of life.;

    Abstract : The principal aim of this research was to find ways to improve the quality of life of esophageal cancer patients after surgical treatment and to reduce persisting symptoms that often occur after that procedure. Since esophageal cancer surgery is extensive and carries a poor long-term prognosis, it is relevant to assess quality of life and complications as outcome measures. READ MORE

  5. 23. Colonic pouch anastomosis after rectal excision for cancer

    Author : Olof Hallböök; Neil J. M. Mortensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Total mesorectal excision; low anterior resection; colonic pouch; coloanal anastomosis; neorectum; quality of life; laser-Doppler flowmetry; gut peptides; anorectal physiology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Anastomoses at the level of the pelvic floor will become increasingly more common in rectal cancer surgery when total mesorectal excision is used as a standard procedure to obtain local mdicality. A consequence of such low anastomoses is increased risk of healing disturbances and poor distal bowel function, The aim of this thesis was to focus on reconstruction after total mesorectal excision.

  6. 24. Aspects of diverting stoma and ERAS in rectal cancer surgery

    Author : Kajsa Anderin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Annually, nearly 2000 patients are diagnosed with rectal cancer in Sweden. To date, the only known curative treatment is surgery and low anterior resection (LAR) is the operation of choice for tumours in the middle rectum. READ MORE

  7. 25. Long-gap esophageal atresia - The development of an experimental model of esophageal regeneration in vivo as an attempt to improve clinical outcome

    Author : Linus Jönsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-gap esophageal atresia; Follow-up; guided tissue regeneration; small intestinal submucosa; pulmonary physiology; esophageal replacement; extracellular matrix; macrophage phenotype;

    Abstract : Background: A subset (~8-15%) of the patients born with esophageal atresia (EA) suffer from a lack of esophageal tissue, which makes a primary anastomosis difficult to achieve. This is most common in patients born without a distal fistula between the trachea and the distal esophageal segment. READ MORE
