1. Ulcerative Colitis - Surgery Outcome and Pathophysiological Aspects
Sammanfattning : Background: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease; the etiology is mainly unknown. Around 30% of the patients are treated by surgery. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate outcome after specific surgical procedures and to investigate possible pathophysiological aspects. LÄS MER
2. Cancer and reconstructive surgery in Inflammatory bowel disease
Sammanfattning : Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the colon. According to the literature, some thirty percent of UC patients may require a subtotal colectomy and ileostomy due to failure of medical treatment, acute toxic colitis or dysplasia/cancer diagnosis.

3. Reconstruction after Colectomy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Sammanfattning : After colectomy there are four options available. The least complicated and most common is to leave the end ileostomy and not go for any reconstructive surgery. Then there is the ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) in which the rectum is removed, but the anal canal and a small rectal “cuff” is preserved. LÄS MER
4. Studies of barrier function in patients with ulcerative colitis and pouchitis
Sammanfattning : Background and aim: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is largely unknown. However, there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility and altered intestinal barrier function has been implicated in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis. LÄS MER
5. Studies on familial adenomatous polyposis
Sammanfattning : Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disorder caused by mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, which leads to adenoma formation and subsequently to cancer, predominantly in the colon and the rectum but also in the duodenum. The cancer morbidity and mortality can be decreased by presymtomatic screening and surgical treatment. LÄS MER
