Selective nonoperative management of leaks after gastric bypass: lessons learned from 2675 consecutive patients.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of patients with leaks after primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) managed operatively with those managed nonoperatively and subsequently derive indications for selective nonoperative management. SUMMARY OF ... Read more...

Early results from a randomized clinical trial of colon J pouch versus transverse coloplasty pouch after low anterior resection for rectal cancer.

29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Patients with primary rectal cancer undergoing low anterior resection are often reconstructed using a pouch procedure. The aim of this trial was to compare colon J pouch (CJP) with transverse coloplasty pouch (TCP) reconstruction with ... Read more...

Should we address the neopulmonic valve? Significance of right-sided obstruction after surgery for transposition of the great arteries and coarctation.

29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: The combination of transposition of the great arteries and coarctation of the aorta (TGA/CoA) presents a surgical challenge. We have adopted a concurrent aortic arch repair and arterial switch operation with excellent results. These ... Read more...
