Colon and rectal injuries.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to develop treatment algorithms for colon, rectal, and anal injuries based on the review of relevant literature. METHODS: Information was obtained through a MEDLINE ( www.nobi.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi ) search, and additional references were obtained through cross-referencing key articles cited in these papers. RESULTS: A total of 203 articles were considered relevant. CONCLUSIONS: The management of penetrating and blunt colon, rectal, and anal injuries has evolved during the past 150 years. Since the World War II mandate to divert penetrating colon injuries, primary repair or resection and anastomosis have found an increasing role in patients with nondestructive injuries. A critical review of recent literature better defines the role of primary repair and fecal diversion for these injuries and allows for better algorithms for the management of these injuries.

Resident research training conducted in a community hospital general surgery residency program.

PURPOSE: Research is educationally important for surgical residents. However, little information exists regarding effective methods for teaching residents scientific methodology in a community hospital. This effort describes an effective program conducted in a community hospital for enhancing scientific opportunities of surgical residents. METHODS: A strong infrastructure that supports research is necessary. Dedicated nonsalaried teaching faculty serve as mentors and co-investigators. Opportunities to engage in basic research are made available in off-campus basic science laboratories. RESULTS: Research productivity has been prolific, as demonstrated by numerous publications. Residents interested in sub-speciality training have been able to conduct research that has made them competitive for fellowships and a wider range of practice choices. CONCLUSION: Rigorous research can be effectively taught in a community hospital, provided adequate educational and funding support is provided and faculty actively mentor residents. Having research capabilities provides added incentive for better-qualified medical students to apply to a surgical residency position in a community hospital. Research productivity also enhances the ability to better recruit new faculty.
