2. 1. Defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer : Aspects of stoma reversal, anastomotic leakage, anorectal function, and cost-effectiveness

   Author : Hannah Floodeen; Peter Matthiessen; Olof Hallböök; Neil Mortensen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rectal cancer; low anterior resection; defunctioning stoma; stoma reversal; anastomotic leakage; anorectal function; costs; resources; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : Rectal cancer is a common malignancy treated with surgical resection and curative intent in the majority of cases. One treatment option is low anterior resection (LAR) with preserved bowel continuity, often involving the formation of a temporary defunctioning stoma (DS). READ MORE

4. 2. Rectal cancer surgery : Defunctioning stoma, anastomotic leakage and postoperative monitoring

   Author : Peter Matthiessen; Olof Hallböök; Rune Sjödahl; Lars Påhlman; Linköpings universitet; []
   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. Permanent stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer : prevalence and mechanisms

   Author : Klas Holmgren; Martin Rutegård; Jörgen Rutegård; Markku M. Haapamäki; Peter Matthiessen; Malin Sund; Per J. Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rectal cancer; anterior resection; permanent stoma; defunctioning stoma; mesorectal excision; biomarkers; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : While sphincter-saving surgery constitutes standard treatment for rectal cancer, anterior resection still harbours a significant risk of a permanent stoma in the long run. Although anastomotic leakage plays a major role in this surgical dilemma, the exact mechanisms are not known, while surveys indicate a stoma-free outcome is essential for a majority of patients.

6. 4. Stomas from a rural perspective : an evaluation of characteristics, differences and improvement opportunities

   Author : Simon Näverlo; Karin Strigård; Ulf Gunnarsson; Anette Edin-Liljegren; Ingvar Syk; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Introduction: Stoma-related complications are common and consequences for the individual patient may be considerable. In rural areas, competence regarding stoma-related problems is largely absent. READ MORE

7. 5. Long term aspects of defunctioning stoma following low anterior resection for rectal cancer

   Author : Soran Gadan; Peter Matthiessen; Richard Lindgren; Martin Rutegård; Judith Brand; Emmanuel Tiret; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In Sweden, more than 2 000 individuals are diagnosed with rectal cancer each year. Surgery is the main curative treatment, and involves removal of the tumor with the surrounding mesorectum in adefined anatomical plane. Intestinal continuity is restored by anastomosing the colon to the rectalstump at the pelvic floor. READ MORE
