Some surgeons claim that the use of robotic surgery makes ventral rectopexy less technically demanding, because it requires careful dissection and suture placement in a tight, narrow space. [1] This is especially true in patients with a narrow pelvis. [16] Laparoscopic ventral rectopexy is also difficult in patients who are obese. [8]
In August 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) became aware of nitrosamine impurities in certain samples of rifampin. [61] The FDA and manufacturers are investigating the origin of these impurities in rifampin, and the agency is developing testing methods for regulators and industry to detect the 1-methyl-4-nitrosopiperazine (MNP ...
A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
Rectopexy is a surgery for rectal prolapse. [3] A newer version of the procedure is termed ventral mesh rectopexy, which has also been used for SRUS. [14] It may be performed with or without anterior resection (removal of a portion of the front wall of the rectum). [9] A mesh may be used to reinforce the anterior rectal wall. [8]
Ventral rectopexy was developed in 2004 as a modification which would not destroy these nerves, since only the ventral/anterior surface (the front surface) is mobilized. [61] A mesh is placed between the anterior wall of the rectum and the vagina. [61] The mesh is then fixed to the sacrum, [64] and the vaginal vault is fixed to the mesh.
In 1995, Morinaga et al. [1] developed a non-excisional surgical technique for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids.Dal Monte et al. further refined this technique, introducing transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD).
A bowel resection or enterectomy (enter-+ -ectomy) is a surgical procedure in which a part of an intestine (bowel) is removed, from either the small intestine or large intestine.
A lower anterior resection, formally known as anterior resection of the rectum and colon and anterior excision of the rectum or simply anterior resection (less precise), is a common surgery for rectal cancer and occasionally is performed to remove a diseased or ruptured portion of the intestine in cases of diverticulitis.
