    Practice Parameters for the Treatment of Patients with Dominantly Inherited Colorectal Cancer

    Practice Parameters For The Treatment Of Patients With Dominantly Inherited Colorectal Cancer Diseases of the Colon & Rectum 2003;46(8):1001-1012 Prepared by: The Standards Task Force The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons James Church, MD; Clifford Simmang, MD; On Behalf of the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer and the Standards Committee of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons is dedicated to assuring high quality patient care by advancing the science, prevention, and management of disorders and diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. The standards committee is composed of Society members who are chosen because they have demonstrated expertise in the specialty of colon and rectal surgery. This Committee was created in order to lead international efforts in defining quality care for conditions related to the colon, rectum, and anus. This is accompanied by developing Clinical Practice Guidelines based on the best available evidence. These guidelines are inclusive, and not prescriptive. Their purpose is to provide information on which decisions can be made, rather than dictate a specific form of treatment. These guidelines are intended for the use of all practitioners, health care workers, and patients who desire information about the management of the conditions addressed by the topics covered in these guidelines. Practice Parameters for the Treatment of Patients With Dominantly Inherited Colorectal Cancer Inherited colorectal cancer includes two main syndromes in which predisposition to the disease is based on a germline mutation that may be transmitted from parent to child.

    Colon and Rectal Surgery Case Log Instructions Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery

    Colon and Rectal Surgery Case Log Instructions Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery Background The ACGME Case Log System is a data depository which provides a mechanism that supports programs in complying with requirements, and also provides a uniform mechanism to verify the clinical education of residents among programs. The Case Log System is designed to capture and categorize a resident’s experience with patient care. It was initially instituted in 2001, and the Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery has required its use by accredited programs since 2005. It is the intention of the Review Committee for Colon and Rectal Surgery that each resident has a reasonably equivalent educational experience to prepare for the practice of the specialty. As part of the process, the case numbers for each resident completing a program are collected and analyzed. To accomplish this complex task, a structured database has been created using standard codes for diagnoses and procedures. The Case Log System helps assess the breadth and depth of clinical experience provided to each colon and rectal surgery resident by his or her program with the ultimate goal of improving the programs themselves. It is the responsibility of the individual residents to accurately and in a timely manner enter their case data. The data entered will be monitored by the program directors and analyzed by the Review Committee. Separate analysis reports are created annually for the Committee, for program directors, and for residents. Additionally, the ACGME provides information regarding individual residents’ experience to the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery (ABCRS) as one criterion for their admission to the ABCRS’s exam process.

  • About Liver Resection

    About Liver Resection

    ABOUT LIVER RESECTION Surgical removal of part of the liver A guide for patients and relatives This booklet has been written to provide information about the operation called a liver resection. This is a major operation and involves removal of a part of the liver. Information about the benefits and risks will help you make an informed decision about the operation. It is important to remember that each person is different. This booklet cannot replace the professional advice and expertise of a doctor who is familiar with your condition. If you have questions that this booklet does not cover, please discuss them with your surgeon or cancer nurse specialist. page 2 What is the liver? The liver is a large organ which lies on the right side of the upper abdomen, under the rib cage. It has many functions related to body metabolism (chemical processes within the body) and is very important to health. One of its functions is to produce yellow-green fluid called bile. Bile flows down a tube called the bile duct to the intestine, where it mixes with food and helps digestion. The gall bladder is a small sac attached to the side of the bile duct. The gall bladder stores excess bile and pushes it down the bile duct in to the intestine, ready for when it is needed for digestion. The liver has right and left lobes (sections). An artery (hepatic artery) and a vein (portal vein) carry blood to the liver. Blood from the liver flows through the hepatic veins back to the heart.

Lordan, dr [email protected] Received 6 August 2008; Accepted 30 October 2008 Recommended by Olivier Farges Background. The management of patients with colorectal liver metastases and loop ileostomies remains controversial. This study was performed to assess the outcome of combined liver resection and loop ileostomy closure. Methods. Analysis of prospectively collected perioperative data, including morbidity and mortality, of 283 consecutive hepatectomies for colorectal liver metastases was undertaken. Consecutive liver resections were performed from 1996 to 2006 in one centre by a single surgeon (NDK). Fourteen of these patients had combined liver resection and ileostomy closure. Case-matched analysis was undertaken. Results.Six(2.2%) patients died in the hepatectomy only group and none died in the combined group. There was no difference in operative blood loss between the two groups (0.09). Perioperative morbidity was 36% in the combined group and 23% in the hepatectomy alone group (P = 0.33). Mean hospital stay was 14 days in the combined group and 11 days in the hepatectomy only group (P = 0.046). Case-matched analysis showed a significant increase in hospital stay (P = 0.03) and complications (P = 0.049) in the combined group.

    Prevalence of Functional Disorders of the Bowel, Rectum, and Anus in a Tertiary Urogynecology Population

    200 Jelovsek J E1, Barber M D1, Walters M D1, Paraiso M F1 1. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation PREVALENCE OF FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE BOWEL, RECTUM, AND ANUS IN A TERTIARY UROGYNECOLOGY POPULATION Hypothesis / aims of study Straining is frequently mentioned as a possible etiologic factor in pelvic floor disorders and pelvic denervation. Constipation is a disease that results in frequent straining often seen in patients with pelvic floor disorders. The overall prevalence of constipation in the U.S. population is 14.7%, with 4.6% being functional constipation, 4.6% outlet subtype, 2.1% IBS- constipation subtype, and 3.4% IBS-outlet[1]. The prevalence and clinical subtypes of constipation and other functional bowel, rectal and anal disorders have not been well characterized in women with urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The specific aims of this study were: (1) to determine the prevalence of functional bowel disorders as defined by the Rome II criteria in a tertiary urogynecology clinic, (2) to determine the prevalence of subtypes of constipation, and (3) to determine whether demographic, clinical, or physical exam factors are associated with different types functional bowel, anal, and rectal disorders in patients with prolapse and incontinence. Study design, materials and methods This was a cross-sectional study design. One hundred and fifty consecutive female subjects presenting to a tertiary referral, urogynecology clinic were identified. Demographic, general medical, and physical exam information were collected. The prevalence of functional bowel disorders and functional disorders of the anus and rectum as defined by the Rome II criteria[2] were collected.
