Cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal metastases can result in long-term survival in patients with gastrointestinal and gynecologic malignancies. CRS is traditionally performed via laparotomy but the morbidity of such operations remains a major limiting factor…

Socioeconomic status (SES) has proven significant impact on colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes. Lower SES has correlated with increased comorbidities, risk of postoperative complications, and inadequate adherence to treatment guidelines…

INTRODUCTION: Due to its rarity, anal adenocarcinoma (AA) does not have a standardized staging system. The tumor (T) stage of an adenocarcinoma arising from the anal canal could be based on depth of invasion, as for rectal adenocarcinoma, or on size, as in anal squamous cell carcinoma…

IBD-PSC patients may require both liver transplantation and ileoanal pouch (IPAA) construction…

During ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), difficulty in reaching the pelvic floor and excess mesenteric tension on the pouch are technical challenges that surgeons must overcome, and excess tension may be associated with increased anastomotic leak rates…

Ileoanal pouch patients are at risk of neoplasia of the rectal cuff/anal transitional zone (ATZ) and the pouch, but it is unknown whether underlying diagnosis that impacted pouch construction affects oncologic outcomes after pouch excision…

Non-conventional strictureplasties, specifically the Finney and Michelassi techniques, are bowel-preserving surgeries for treating diffuse jejunoileal Crohn’s Disease (CD)…

INTRODUCTION: Ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a widely preferred surgical intervention for patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, and indeterminate colitis…

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage is a dreaded complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) that occurs in 5-10% of cases…

INTRODUCTION: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the procedure of choice in patients requiring total proctocolectomy. The reported leak rates after IPAA surgery range from 1-12% with well described significant impact on postoperative morbidity and recovery…

As part of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s IBD Plexus, a novel prospective, longitudinal multicenter surgical inception cohort was implemented. In this first report from the first 100 patients enrolled, we aimed to assess patient reported outcomes before and after IBD surgery…

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred surgical treatment for IBD or FAP. As these diseases often manifest during adolescence or early adulthood, treatment effects on genitourinary function (GU), sexual function, and fertility are clinically important…

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred surgical treatment for patients with IBD or FAP…

BACKGROUND: Non-healing perineal wounds are common in patients undergoing proctectomy for Crohn’s disease. We systematically reviewed the literature and performed a meta-analysis to estimate the pooled proportion of perineal wound healing after proctectomy for Crohn’s disease…
