Principles of surgical technique in the treatment of carcinoma of the large bowel.
The principles of surgical technique for the operative management of colon cancer are described. With the background of the evolution of anastomotic alternatives, the methods for reestablishing intestinal continuity and the approach to the treatment of complicated presentations of colonic cancer are reviewed. While one may construe this paper to have a certain author bias, I have tried to present diverse options where pertinent, but there should be little question as to where my opinion lies.
Wound infections after colectomy.
The records of 650 patients were analyzed to determine factors predisposing the patients to wound infections. Statistically significant increases in infections were found in association with Crohn's disease, stomas present preoperatively, serum albumin levels of less than 2.9 g/dl, operative blood losses greater than 1,200 ml or operative times longer than two hours, preoperative irradiation, and bowel preparations other than mechanical preparation and nonabsorbable antibiotics. Wound infection did not occur in patients who were prepared for the operation with the neomycin-erythromycin antibiotic regimen.

The dilemma of Crohn's disease: long-term follow-up of Crohn's disease of the small intestine.
Seventy-four patients having primary Crohn's disease of the small intestine have had follow-up studies for at least 10 years after initial resection, and the results of treatment are presented. The commonest indication for operative treatment was obstruction, followed by fistula formation, intractability, abscess formation, and free perforation. Disease recurred in 69 per cent of patients in this series, and 55 per cent of this group required fruther operative treatment. It is necessary to have a lengthy follow-up period if we are to appreciate fully the serious nature of the recurrence problems of Crohn's disease of the small intestine.
