1. Colonic pouch anastomosis after rectal excision for cancer
Sammanfattning : Anastomoses at the level of the pelvic floor will become increasingly more common in rectal cancer surgery when total mesorectal excision is used as a standard procedure to obtain local mdicality. A consequence of such low anastomoses is increased risk of healing disturbances and poor distal bowel function, The aim of this thesis was to focus on reconstruction after total mesorectal excision.

2. 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.

3. 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
4. Colon cancer : aspects on surgical treatment and complete mesocolic excision
Sammanfattning : In rectal cancer, total mesorectal excision (TME), including surgery with dissection outside the mesorectal fascia, together with pre-operative radiotherapy improves survival. An educational effort on TME improved results in rectal cancer in Stockholm in the 1990’s. LÄS MER
5. Rectal washout in rectal cancer surgery
Sammanfattning : BackgroundRectal washout (RW) is performed to eliminate intraluminal cancer cells and thereby reducing the risk of local recurrence (LR). The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the importance of RW in rectal cancer surgery.MethodPaper I: Survey of the current practice of RW among Swedish colorectal units. LÄS MER
