Colectomy

03/01/2017 - "Despite advances in therapeutic options, more than half of all patients with ulcerative colitis [UC] do not achieve long-term remission, many require colectomy, and the disease still has a marked negative impact on quality of life. "
04/01/2016 - "A significant reduction of colectomy and mortality rates in severe ulcerative colitis was observed in the last 40 years. "
09/01/2011 - "A significant proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis will still have to undergo colectomy and overall half of the patients do not achieve sustained remission, leading to impairment of physical and mental health, social life, employment issues and sexual activity. "
09/01/2006 - "Our findings may help to predict patients with ulcerative colitis who have a high risk for colectomy."
08/01/2015 - "Efficacy of ADL therapy in ulcerative colitis patients previously treated with IFX appears to be modest in clinical practice, and with higher colectomy rates than reported for anti-TNF-naive patients in the registration trials."

11/01/2009 - "Most patients are cured by appendectomy (appendiceal tumors < or = 2 cm), tumors with a diameter > 2 cm should be managed by right hemicolectomy."
03/01/2007 - "Right hemicolectomy is the best treatment for all histologic types (colonic, mucinous, adenocarcinoid), in presence of perforation and even in Dukes A tumors. "
01/01/2007 - "There seems to no real safety problems in performing laparoscopic colectomy for cancer; improvement in operative times, conversion rates, and complications should make laparoscopy the best cost-effective approach to colectomy."
07/01/1992 - "When malignancy is excluded, hemicolectomy is not necessarily the best treatment and we propose conservative management for these patients."
10/01/2021 - "This third-generation clinical calculator for predicting cancer recurrence following curative colectomy successfully incorporates microsatellite genomic phenotype and the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in improved discrimination and predictive accuracy. "

05/01/2019 - "In this study, we aimed at determining whether robotic complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon cancer can be safe and effective as conventional laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (CLRH). "
10/01/2022 - "Complete mesocolic excision with D3 lymph node dissection in right-sided colon cancer is associated with improved oncological outcomes, but can potentially be associated with higher rates of complications compared to conventional D2 right hemicolectomy. "
10/01/2012 - "Laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer has become a standard of care, with a number of publications highlighting its safety, improved postoperative recovery, and excellent oncologic outcomes. "
03/01/2019 - "This study shows that laparoscopic colectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer using 3D laparoscopic systems appears to be beneficial, with less blood loss, which should be addressed in prospective studies."
12/01/2023 - "Removal of 16 lymph nodes during colectomy for stage II colon cancer correlated with improved survival, and this threshold was more effective than the standard threshold of 12 lymph nodes in distinguishing between patients with good and poor prognoses."

01/01/2023 - "Most patients were happy and viewed their life as improved following total colectomy for severe constipation. "
02/01/1996 - "Total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is highly effective in alleviating symptoms in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation."
01/01/2017 - "Subtotal colectomy relieved constipation and improved significantly uro-gynecological symptoms, suggesting strongly that mega-cecum is causally related to these symptoms."
12/25/2016 - "Subtotal colectomy combined with psychological intervention not only can significantly improve psychological disorder, but also increase the efficacy of surgery in the treatment of slow transit constipation patients with psychological disorder."
04/07/1990 - "Subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis yields a good outcome in 70-100% of cases with slow transit constipation. "

02/01/2010 - "These recommendations are derived, in part, from data that have illustrated a correlation between mucosal healing and several important factors including long-term remission rates, disease-related complications (e.g., risk of colorectal cancer), healthcare utilization (e.g., need for colectomy), and patient quality of life. "
11/01/2023 - "We found a statistically significant reduction in total episode (-$719; 95% CI [-$1340 to -$97]; P = .023) payments at the 8 ASPIRE hospitals (N = 17,852 cases) compared to the change observed in 8 matched non-ASPIRE hospitals (N = 12,987 cases) for major, high-volume surgeries, including colectomy, colorectal cancer resection, gastrectomy, esophagectomy, pancreatectomy, hysterectomy, joint replacement (knee and hip), and hip fracture repair. "
03/22/2001 - "It is essential to address the issue of prophylactic surgery in HNPCC patients presenting with colorectal cancer: Prospective data is required in order to decide which of the options is more beneficial for the HNPCC patient presenting with his first colorectal primary: subtotal colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis versus restorative proctocolectomy. "
10/01/1993 - "It was concluded that subtotal colectomy is superior to hemicolectomy or segmental resection in HNPCC patients with colorectal carcinoma. "
10/01/2023 - "Colorectal cancer rates reach 100% by the age of 45, making early colectomy a mainstay of treatment. "
