Cancer of ileostomy: a late complication of colectomy for ulcerative colitis.

Cancer arising at an ileostomy site represents a rare late complication of total colectomy performed for ulcerative colitis. There are no more than 36 published cases in the literature. We describe a case of adenocarcinoma of the mucocutaneous junction at the ileostomy site, occurring 31 years after total colectomy for ulcerative colitis. Wide excision of the moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was performed with refashioning of the ileostomy. Polypoid adenomas or adenocarcinomas of the ileostomy after colectomy performed for non-neoplastic conditions are extremely uncommon. Biopsies of polypoid lesions at the stoma site are recommended.

The use of cold therapy in the postoperative management of patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

In this prospective, randomized study we assessed the use of cold therapy after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Seventy-one patients were randomly allocated, without the knowledge of the single surgeon, to one of three groups: Group I had an ice water-filled CryoCuff fitted in the operating theater after surgery, Group II had room temperature water in the CryoCuff, and Group III patients had no CryoCuff. Patients were well matched for age, sex, and associated surgery. An independent observer measured blood loss, analgesic use, range of motion, and visual analog pain scores postoperatively. There were no differences between any of the three groups regarding the variables measured. The use of cold therapy devices as an adjunct to the postoperative management of these patients must be questioned.
