1. Defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer : Aspects of stoma reversal, anastomotic leakage, anorectal function, and cost-effectiveness
Sammanfattning : Rectal cancer is a common malignancy treated with surgical resection and curative intent in the majority of cases. One treatment option is low anterior resection (LAR) with preserved bowel continuity, often involving the formation of a temporary defunctioning stoma (DS). LÄS MER
2. Rectal cancer surgery : Defunctioning stoma, anastomotic leakage and postoperative monitoring
Sammanfattning : The understanding of the mesorectal spread in rectal cancer has lead to wide acceptance of total mesorectal excision (TME) as the surgical technique of choice for carcinoma in the lower and mid rectum. While oncological results and survival have improved with TME-surgery, morbidity and mortality remain important issues. LÄS MER
3. Permanent stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer : prevalence and mechanisms
Sammanfattning : While sphincter-saving surgery constitutes standard treatment for rectal cancer, anterior resection still harbours a significant risk of a permanent stoma in the long run. Although anastomotic leakage plays a major role in this surgical dilemma, the exact mechanisms are not known, while surveys indicate a stoma-free outcome is essential for a majority of patients.

4. Stomas from a rural perspective : an evaluation of characteristics, differences and improvement opportunities
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Stoma-related complications are common and consequences for the individual patient may be considerable. In rural areas, competence regarding stoma-related problems is largely absent. LÄS MER
5. Long term aspects of defunctioning stoma following low anterior resection for rectal cancer
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, more than 2 000 individuals are diagnosed with rectal cancer each year. Surgery is the main curative treatment, and involves removal of the tumor with the surrounding mesorectum in adefined anatomical plane. Intestinal continuity is restored by anastomosing the colon to the rectalstump at the pelvic floor. LÄS MER
