Abstract

Early functional outcome after low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision (TME) and colo-anal anastomosis for colorectal carcinoma can be improved by the restoration of the colonic reservoir. This can be achieved by the construction of a colonic J-pouch. The technique is safe and has been refined during the last years. A decrease in stool frequency, urgency, and incontinence rates during the first two postoperative years with an improved quality of life has been observed. Alternative methods with similar functional results are provided by the ileocecal reservoir, the transverse coloplasty pouch or the side-to-end anastomosis. Colonic J-pouch reconstruction should be considered as an superior alternative to straight coloanal anastomosis in patients undergoing anterior resection.

Laparoscopic rectal surgery: rectal cancer, pelvic pouch surgery, and rectal prolapse.

With the increasing popularity of minimally invasive approaches to surgery, laparoscopic techniques are being applied increasingly to more complex procedures. Surgeons who are interested in gaining skill and confidence with the techniques of rectal mobilization and resection initially should consider attempting procedures for benign disease. Patients who have rectal prolapse, who often have wide, accommodating pelvic anatomy, are the logical choice with whom to begin the laparoscopic rectal experience. Laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy is more technically challenging. Laparoscopic proctectomy for rectal cancer probably should remain in the hands of well-trained, high-volume, experienced surgeons who have built a dedicated team for treatment of these patients, and who track their outcomes prospectively.

Afferent intussuscepted antireflux nipple valve complications in the Kock pouch for continent urinary diversion Early results with a modified technique.

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the risk of afferent nipple valve stenosis and its consequences and management in patients with a Kock pouch for continent urinary diversion and to study the early results after using an alternative antireflux technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty patients consecutively operated on with a conventional Kock reservoir for continent cutaneous urinary diversion between 1988 and 2001 were analysed with regard to the occurrence of afferent nipple valve stenosis and its clinical characteristics. Sixteen patients operated on for continent urinary diversion during the period 2002-04 had the antireflux valve constructed according to the serous-lined extramural ileal valve technique. RESULTS: Eight patients with a conventional Kock pouch developed true afferent nipple valve stenosis and the risk approached 30% after 15 years. Dilatation and stenting were usually successful. CONCLUSIONS: The high risk of afferent nipple valve stenosis when using the intussuscepted nipple valve in the construction of a Kock reservoir for continent cutaneous urinary diversion calls for an alternative method for anastomosing the ureters to the reservoir. Our early results with the combined Kock/T-pouch are promising.
