Low colorectal anastomosis after radical pelvic surgery: a risk factor analysis

Article Abstract:

Patients with pelvic cancer who have radiation treatment before surgery may have a worse outcome from surgery, according to a study of 77 patients who had pelvic surgery. Of 36 who had radiation treatment before surgery, 30% developed problems with the anastomosis that was created between the colon and rectum after surgeons removed much of their colon.

Should sacrospinous ligament fixation for the management of pelvic support defects be part of a residency program procedure? The University of Miami experience

Article Abstract:

The sacrospinous ligament fixation procedure to correct vaginal and uterine prolapse may be effectively performed by gynecology residents and should be taught in residency programs. The surgery is commonly performed to support pelvic organs that descend into the vagina. Doctors reviewed the medical records of 160 patients who underwent the surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL. The surgery was successful in most patients, and complications were not significant. Several years after surgery, 85% of patients had no recurrence of any defect in pelvic support.
