2. 1. 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.

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior resection of the rectum; total mesorectal excision; TME; anastomotic leakage; defunctioning stoma; risk factors; intraoperative adverse events; population based study; postoperative monitoring; CT-scan microdialysis; cytokines; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : The understanding of the mesorectal spread in rectal cancer has lead to wide acceptance of total mesorectal excision (TME) as the surgical technique of choice for carcinoma in the lower and mid rectum. While oncological results and survival have improved with TME-surgery, morbidity and mortality remain important issues. READ MORE

5. 3. Rectal washout in rectal cancer surgery

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rectal washout; Rectal cancer surgery; Local recurrence; Anterior resection; abdominoperineal resection; Transanal total mesorectal excision;

   Abstract : BackgroundRectal washout (RW) is performed to eliminate intraluminal cancer cells and thereby reducing the risk of local recurrence (LR). The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the importance of RW in rectal cancer surgery.MethodPaper I: Survey of the current practice of RW among Swedish colorectal units. READ MORE

6. 4. Colon cancer : aspects on surgical treatment and complete mesocolic excision

   Author : Richard Bernhoff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In rectal cancer, total mesorectal excision (TME), including surgery with dissection outside the mesorectal fascia, together with pre-operative radiotherapy improves survival. An educational effort on TME improved results in rectal cancer in Stockholm in the 1990’s. READ MORE

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Rectal cancer; surgery; preoperative radiotherapy; local recurrence; survival; adverse effects; cost-effectiveness; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : In rectal cancer, local failure is one of the principle causes of morbidity and mortality. The use of radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment in resectable rectal cancer is extensively studied in order to lower unacceptably high local failure rates. READ MORE
