Abstract

Aim:

The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent radical operation after malignant polyp removal by colonoscopic procedure.

Patients And Methods:

Between 2009 and 2013, radical colorectal resection was performed in 50 patients with CRC after colonoscopic polypectomy.

Results:

Nine cases (18%) had residual cancer. Lymph node (LN) metastasis was found in three cases (6.0%) and tumor deposit without LN metastasis (N1c) was found in two cases (4.0%). The indications for radical operation were an undetermined resection margin (23 cases), positive lateral margin (15 cases). Out of the nine cases with residual cancer, five cases had LN metastasis or tumor deposit without residual tumor in the main lesion. One-fourth of cases with an undetermined margin had residual cancer (six out of 23 cases), three of whom had stage III disease.

Conclusion:

Undetermined margins may be considered as an indication for additional radical operation.

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
