[Early postoperative complications after different methods of intestinal reconstruction in deep anterior rectum resection--a prospective study].

For the first period after low anterior resection and total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, the colonic J-pouch is superior to the straight or lateroterminal anastomosis. Despite the simple technique and short stretch of sutures, the LTA is unsuitable due to the high postoperative morbidity and because the reconstruction functions poorly. If the expected anastomis is below 6 cm from the anal verge, i.e. 4 cm above the sphincter muscle, the colonic J-pouch is recommended.

A comparison of postoperative complications from pressure-ridge Molteno implants versus Molteno implants with suture ligation.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The pressure-ridge Molteno implant incorporates a ridge on the proximal episcleral plate to limit aqueous outflow during the immediate postoperative period. This modification is intended to decrease the high incidence of postoperative hypotony and flat anterior chambers following Molteno tube implantation, while avoiding the pressure spikes that can occur with suture ligation of the Molteno tube. This study was devised to compare postoperative intraocular pressure control and complications associated with pressure-ridge Molteno implantation versus a standard Molteno implantation with suture ligation of the tube. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty eyes were prospectively randomized to receive either a pressure-ridge, double-plate Molteno implant or a standard, double-plate Molteno Molteno implant with suture ligation of the tube. RESULTS: Postoperative intraocular pressure was significantly higher at day 1 and week 2 in the suture-ligation implant group, although the final pressure at 12 weeks was not different between the two groups. Six of 15 eyes from the pressure-ridge implant group experienced shallow or flat anterior chambers with hypotony, whereas 5 of 15 eyes from the suture-ligation implant group had significant postoperative pressure spikes. CONCLUSION: Because the ridge effect is unpredictable, further modifications are necessary to prevent postoperative hypotony.

[TUR syndrome as a late postoperative complication. Case report].

A 81-year-old patient developed a TUR-syndrome gradually one and half an hour after termination of TURP. Surgery was complicated by perforation of the bladder dome at the end of TURP. Due to extravasation of the perioperative irrigating fluid intraperitoneally and intravascular resorption a TUR-syndrome became apparent. Early diagnosis and rapid initiation of appropriate intensive care resulted in a benign postoperative course and the patient attained full recovery.

Prophylaxis against postoperative complications in gastroenterology.

Gastrointestinal surgery results in pain, profound endocrine metabolic changes and organ dysfunction, immunosuppression and decreased resistance to infection, fatigue and convalescence. The main pathogenetic mechanism is the surgical stress response, which may be reduced by minimal invasive (laparoscopic) surgical techniques and afferent neural and perhaps humoral mediator blockade. Subsequently, these techniques have been documented as reducing a variety of postoperative morbidity parameters. A unifying concept for control of the postoperative period is presented as a combined effort to enhance preoperative information, stress reduction and sufficient functional pain relief allowing early mobilization and oral nutrition. Preliminary data, in combination with laparoscopic surgery, suggest that this approach improves outcome significantly.
