Zusammenfassung Das obstruktive Defäkationssyndrom (ODS) ist eine Form der Verstopfung, die mit einer Stuhlentleerungsstörung verbunden ist. Das Krankheitsbild ist noch nicht vollständig verstanden, dementsprechend ist die Evidenz zur Pathogenese und Therapie limitiert. Prinzipiell werden funktionelle Ursachen, wie der Anismus oder das Puborektalis...

Background: Correct tack placement at the sacral promontory for mesh fixation in ventral mesh rectopexy is crucial to avoid bleeding, nerve dysfunction and spondylodiscitis. Objective: The present cadaver study was designed to assess the true location of tacks after mesh fixation during laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy in relation to vascular...

The aim of this study is the evaluation of three selected osseous pelvic features in modern anatomical specimen - the sacral preauricular extension, the preauricular sulcus and pits on the dorsal side of the pubic bone laterally to the symphysis. The specificity and significance of these features are under debate and their genesis is largely unclea...

Background Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an established treatment option for patients with faecal incontinence. The location of the stimulating electrode is considered to be essential for treatment success. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the position of SNM electrodes after using a standardized fluoroscopy-guided implantation technique...

Background The rate of restoration of intestinal continuity after colonic resection and stoma creation in patients with Crohn’s disease has not been well-documented in the era of biologics. Thus, the incidence of restoration of intestinal continuity since the introduction of biological drugs was assessed. Methods Consecutive patients (n = 43) who...

Aim: Risk factors predicting surgical recurrence in Crohn's disease (CD) remain controversial. Postoperative anti-TNF therapy might lower recurrence rates whilst presence of mesenteric granulomas has been postulated as a risk factor. We hypothesized that mesenteric granulomas indicate disease severity and might predict surgical recurrence risk, ir...

Specific changes at the ventrosuperior margin (apex) of the ala ossis sacri – an extension or a notch and respective corresponding structures at the iliac auricular facet – were noted in female skeletons. We suggest terming them sacral preauricular extension and sacral preauricular notch and propose a recording system. We analysed pelvic remains fr...

Background Recent studies support the use of mechanical bowel preparation and/or oral antibiotic prophylaxis in patients operated on for Crohn’s disease (CD); however, data are scarce, especially for laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery on complication rates in patients not un...

Purpose Little is known about the perioperative dynamic of albumin and its effect on surgical outcome in Crohn’s disease. Thus, we aimed to assess postoperative changes of albumin levels and their potentially predictive role for complications after laparoscopic intestinal resections. Methods We identified 182 patients who underwent laparoscopic in...

The role of visceral fat measured by computer tomography is yet not well defined in patients with Crohn's disease. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the impact of visceral fat area on postoperative short-term outcome and surgical characteristics. We analyzed 95 patients, who underwent intestinal resection for symptomatic Crohn's d...

Background As adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer relies on the identification of lymph‐node metastases, pathologist's expertise may have a considerable influence on postoperative survival. Materials and Methods The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the impact of the pathologist's expertise on lymph node detection rate and posto...

Background: The modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) has recently gained increased attention as a prognostic marker for malignant disease survival and postoperative short-term complications. Due to lacking data, the present study was conducted to correlate the mGPS with the postoperative course in patients following surgery for Crohn's disease...

Background: The Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio has recently gained increased attention as a prognostic marker for malignant disease and short term outcomes. There is little data available in patients with Crohn's disease, thus the present study was conducted to correlate preoperative Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio values with disease phenotype and...

AIM To evaluate frequency and clinical course of incidental adenocarcinoma in patients with stricturing Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS In this study, consecutive patients, who were operated on for stricturing CD between 1997-2012, were included at an academic tertiary referral center. Demographic data and clinical course were obtained by an institu...

Background: Laparoscopic surgery for penetrating Crohn's disease (CD) still remains highly conflicting due to a lack of sufficient data. Therefore, the following large study was designed to compare postoperative outcomes after minimal-invasive resections for penetrating and non-penetrating CD. Methods: Consecutive patients, who underwent laparos...

Purpose: Due to a lack of data, the present study was designed to assess the impact of advanced age on surgical characteristics and short-term outcome of patients operated on for symptomatic Crohn´s disease. Methods: We enrolled 454 consecutive Crohn's disease patients, who underwent intestinal resection at an academic tertiary referral center b...
