Sammanfattning : Surgery is currently the only form of curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, yet five-year survival rates following resection are just 15-20%. Improved hospital care has decreased postoperative mortality to 2% yet morbidity remains high at 50%. Poor survival and high morbidity are driven by several perioperative factors. LÄS MER
23. Aspects on arterial dimensions with special reference to aneurysmal disease
Sammanfattning : The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing. The risk of rupture is related to diameter. However, rupture may occur also in small AAA. To evaluate the size of an aneurysm when related to the predicted normal aortic diameter might be a better predictor of risk. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : Survival among patients with stage IV rectal cancer is poor and surgical treatment for this disease is associated with morbidities such as small bowel obstruction, complications with a diverting loop ileostomy, and functional bowel disturbances. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess risk factors and morbidity after surgery for rectal cancer and to evaluate factors affecting survival in patients with stage IV rectal cancer. LÄS MER
25. On Acute Thrombo-Embolic Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery
