Penetrating Injuries to the Colon: Analysis by Anatomic Region of Injury
|
The preferred method for the treatment of penetrating injuries to the colon remains a source of controversy. In our retrospective review of 65 patients with penetrating colon injuries, 33 patients were managed by colostomy formation, 30 were treated by primary repair, and two had exteriorized repair with early return to the abdominal cavity (drop back). The anatomic location of injury was ascending colon in 19 (29%), transverse colon in 20 (31%), descending colon in 22 (34%), and multiple sites in four (6%). The average penetrating abdominal trauma index (PATI) was 24 (ascending colon injuries, 23; transverse colon, 26; descending colon, 24; and multiple colon sites, 28). Overall septic morbidity was 15/65 (23%). Colostomy closure was later done in 32/33 (97%), with a morbidity of 7/32 (22%). The mean length of hospital stay for primary repair was ten days and for colostomy (including both required hospital stays), 26 days (P < .05). These data suggest that primary repair is as safe as colostomy formation for the management of penetrating colon injuries, regardless of anatomic site of injury.

Isolated Splenic Metastases From Colon Cancer
|
Metastatic tumors of the spleen are rare and usually occur in the presence of disseminated visceral metastases. The liver is the most common site of metastatic spread from colon cancer. We report a case of isolated intrasplenic metastasis from sigmoid colon cancer and review the possible reasons for the rarity of splenic metastasis. This represents the fifth reported case of isolated splenic metastasis from colon cancer. Splenectomy may be justified in presence of isolated metastatic disease, since it is an operation with a low complication rate and may provide potential long-term survival in colon cancer.

Choice of Agents for Preoperative Preparation of the Colon
|
The use of chemotherapeutic agents is a great aid in preparing the patient for colon surgery preoperatively. However, the several agents are not of equal efficiency and in fact some are apparently quite useless in this regard. Nor should these drugs permit a false sense of security in terms of premature operation or carelessness in operative technic. Certain dangers accompany intestinal antisepsis.

Outpatient Bowel Preparation For Elective Colon Resection
|
colon; To determine the safety and cost-effectiveness of outpatient preoperative bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage solution, we retrospectively analyzed 726 cases of colectomy done by colon and rectal surgeons between July 1987 and July 1991. Included were 319 patients who had elective segmental or total abdominal colectomy with primary anastomosis. Patients who required protective proximal stoma were excluded. Patients requiring emergency surgery, colostomy closure, and restorative proctocolectomy were excluded. Patients were separated into two groups equally matched by age, sex, procedure done, and comorbidity: 145 had bowel preparation as outpatients and 174 as inpatients. Both groups had similar numbers of days hospitalized, days receiving nothing by mouth, and days requiring nasogastric intubation or gastrostomy tube, as well as similar postoperative complications. There was one wound infection, one anastomotic leak, and one death in each group. Cost of outpatient preparation was approximately $40. Cost of inpatient preparation, including a semiprivate room, was approximately $400. Outpatient preparation with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage solution and oral antibiotics before elective colon resection can be done with equivalent safety and at a substantial cost savings.

Carcinoma of the Right Colon: A Change in Characteristic Configuration?
|
Carcinoma of the colon occurring to the right of the middle colic vessels is usually described as morphologically and clinically distinctive from cancers occurring in the left colon. Cancers of the right colon are characterized as polypoid tumors that are discovered in the search for occult blood loss, whereas carcinomas of the left and sigmoid colon are described as scirrhous and often annular in configuration, giving rise to obstruction as the characteristic clinical presentation. A personal experience with constricting annular lesions of the right colon that were considered atypical has led to a review of the total experience in colonic resections for cancer (excluding abdominoperineal resections for carcinoma of the rectum) at one metropolitan university medical center. Of 152 colonic resections for cancer within a 39-month interval, 57 resections were for cancer of the right colon and 95 for cancer of the left colon. One half of the cancers of the right colon were annular, whereas only one third of those of the left colon were so described by operative, pathologic, and radiologic criteria. Differences in clinical presentation of cancers of the right and left colon are probably attributable more to the form and function of the colon in each anatomic region than to any characteristic configuration of the tumor itself.

This patient had carcinoma of the right colon with prolonged fever, but no evidence of infection or gastrointestinal symptoms. At surgical resection, a caecal adenocarcinoma was found with metastases to the mesentery and 10 of 40 lymph nodes. The patient's fever resolved after 3 days. The patient remained healthy during 8 years of follow-up. Right-sided colon cancer is not often considered in the complete evaluation of fever of undetermined cause.

One Hundred Consecutive Operations for Diverticulitis of the Colon
|
This report describes 100 consecutive patients treated surgically for diverticulities of the colon. The main indications for operation were recurrent attacks (33), rapid progresive symptoms 917), bleeding (16), palpable mass (14), or combinatoins of the above. Eight-four patients had primary resection (two deaths), ten had staged procedure (two deaths), and six had Hartmann procedures (one death). The mortality was highest in staged procedures as this group of patients included those with complicatiuos resulting in the greatest operative risks. No deaths occured in the elective cases. In 25 cases, various complications developed. The most common was wound infection and sepsis. The five deaths in the series are reported in detail with an evaluatio of possible alternative methods of treatment. Follow-up of the series showed only one recurrence in the two years after operation.

Endometriosis of the Colon: Report of 14 Patients Requiring Partial Colectomy
|
Reviewed are the clinical, radiologie, operative and pathologic findings and the results in 14 women (ages 31 to 51 years) requiring partial colectomy for endometriosis. All had symptoms related to the lesion of the colon; eight had gynecologic symptoms. In only four instances did the physical examination reveal a palpable mass. Most important in making the preoperative diagnosis is radiographie examination of the colon (barium enema). In common localized endometrioma, features are those of an eccentric intramural, submucosal lesion with transverse ridging. More extensive endometriosis is more difficult to differentiate from carcinoma by radiographie means. Operative diagnosis, which was less accurate than radiologie diagnosis, should be suggested by uninvolved mucosa on examination of the unopened colon and frozen section diagnosis of endometriosis on an implant. When endometriosis of the colon is of a degree sufficient to cause symptoms, partial colectomy should be done; oophorectomy only, without resection, is not recommended.

Primary Colon Cancer Without Gross Mucosal Tumor: Unusual Presentation of a Common Malignancy
|
colon; Colon cancer typically arises in the colonic lumen, allowing for endoscopic detection of cancerous and premalignant lesions. In the case presented, a 73-year-old man with iron deficiency anemia had two colonoscopies showing only diverticula and internal hemorrhoids. Three years later, when the patient complained of dull, intermittent lower abdominal pain, a third colonoscopy identified diverticula, three adenomatous polyps, and no other abnormality. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a 5 cm x 6 cm pericolic fluid collection, which was later found to communicate with the sigmoid colon. The surgical specimen from a partial colectomy contained a distal sigmoid perforation with a 2.5 cm moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in the underlying submucosal tissue. There was no gross intraluminal tumor. Histopathology, including immunohistochemistry, was consistent with colonic adenocarcinoma. Primary colon cancer grossly sparing the mucosa is an unusual presentation for this common malignancy

Xanthogranulomatous Inflammation of the Colon: A Rare Cause of Cecal Mass With Bleeding
|
Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a well-defined disease most frequently reported in the kidney and gallbladder. The occurrence of this disease in the colon is extremely rare, with only five cases of appendix vermiformis involvement in the literature. Its clinical importance is that it can be misinterpreted as a malignant process clinically and intraoperatively as well as in the imaging studies. In this report, a 57-year-old patient presented with a cecal mass that caused recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia, mimicking colon cancer. This is the first report of this lesion involving the cecum with typical macroscopic and microscopic features but with atypical clinical symptoms and findings.

Carcinoma of the Colon and Rectum in Patients Less Than 20 Years of Age
|
We report the cases of eight children and adolescents with adenocarcinoma of the colon treated at three large referral hospitals over a 25-year period. We recorded demographic factors, initial symptoms, stage at operation, type of operation, pathologic grade, and survival, and compared our results to those in the English literature. There were seven male patients and one female patient, with an average age of 15.1 years and an average duration of symptoms of 71/2 months. The most common initial complaint was rectal bleeding (6/8 patients, 75%). Pain, anemia, and abdominal distention were present in five of the eight patients (63%). Six of our eight patients (75%) had stage C or D disease at diagnosis, and six of the eight tumors (75%) were poorly differentiated. Only three of the eight patients lived for more than six months. Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding or abdominal complaints in children should prompt a thorough investigation of the gastrointestinal tract.

Metastatic Pancreatic Carcinoma Presenting as Colon Carcinoma
|
Determining the origin of poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas remains a challenge for the pathologist. This manuscript reports the use of a panel of specific immunohistochemical stains to determine the primary site of a tumor in the colon. A 45-year-old man had a right hemicolectomy for adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining documented that the lesion was a metastasis from a primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma-an unusual pattern of spread. The case emphasizes the important use of immunohistochemistry in identifying the primary source of lesions, allowing for appropriate treatment and staging.

Preoperative Versus Postoperative Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Surgically Curable Carcinoma of the Rectum and Distal Sigmoid Colon
|
colon; From January 1979 to October 1986, 86 patients with surgically resectable adenocarcinoma of the rectum or rectosigmoid were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy consisting of preoperative 2,400 cGy (22 patients), preoperative 4,000 cGy (14 patients), "sandwich" technique (27 patients), and postoperative irradiation (23 patients). Average follow-up was 42.9 months. The local recurrence rate was 4.5%, 9.1%, 7.4%, and 34.8%, respectively. The distant metastasis rate was 18.2%, 18.2%, 7.4%, and 30.4%, respectively. Preoperative radiotherapy with adequate surgical resection appears more effective in reducing the incidence of local recurrence.

A Previous Cholecystectomy Increases the Risk of Developing Advanced Adenomas of the Colon
|
Background: There is limited data assessing the relationship between cholecystectomy and colorectal adenomatous polyps (AP). Our aim was to determine if cholecystectomy was associated with an increased prevalence of advanced AP in male veterans.
Methods: The relationship of whether prior cholecystectomy modified the natural history of AP was investigated in a retrospective study. The patients were divided into two groups: 1) those with AP and a history of cholecystectomy, and 2) those with AP, but without a history of cholecystectomy. Factors in each group associated with advanced AP were examined by univariate analysis (UA) and stepwise logistic regression analysis to determine independent predictors of aggressive clinical characteristics of polyps. Statistical significance was determined at a P <= 0.05.
Results: We identified a total of 1234 patients with AP (cases = 127, controls = 1107). The mean age of patients was 64.1 +/- 1.9 (standard deviation) years. By UA, those with a prior cholecystectomy had a greater mean number of AP (4.2 vs. 3.5; P = 0.04) and more advanced polyps (P = 0.037) than those without a cholecystectomy. By logistic regression, prior cholecystectomy was associated with more advanced AP (OR = 1.5 [1.0-2.2]; P = 0.04). Patients who had a cholecystectomy were 51% more likely to have advanced AP. There appeared to be a trend towards increased time from cholecystectomy being associated with advanced polyps (9.69 years vs. 8.99 years, P = 0.056).
Conclusions: A prior cholecystectomy was independently associated with an increased risk of developing advanced AP. Also, there appeared to be a trend toward a greater prevalence of advanced lesions as postcholecystectomy time increased.

Giant Ulcerated Lipoma of the Colon Causing Iron Deficiency Anemia Successfully Treated with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Assisted Resection
|
Colonic lipomas are frequently small and asymptomatic. Giant colonic lipoma (GCL) is an uncommon finding at endoscopy, and ulceration with occult blood loss leading to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is even rarer. The choice of therapeutic procedure to treat symptomatic GCLs has been controversial. We hereby report a case of an ulcerated GCL that presented with occult bleeding and IDA. IDA resolved after the GCL was removed successfully combining endoloop ligation and snare cautery technique under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance. With the advent of EUS, endoscopic resection of submucosal tumors can be performed relatively safely by providing a viable and useful alternative to surgery.

Synchronous Tumors: Hodgkin Disease Presenting in Mesenteric Lymph Nodes from a Right Hemicolectomy for Colon Carcinoma
|
The authors report the case of a 56-year-old male diagnosed with Hodgkin disease involving the mesenteric lymph nodes recovered from a right hemicolectomy for colonic adenocarcinoma. The liver and bone marrow were also involved by Hodgkin disease. Synchronous colonic carcinoma and lymphoma in the same patient is a rare occurrence, and Hodgkin disease involving the mesenteric lymph nodes is uncommon as well.

Metachronous Splenic Metastasis from Colonic Carcinoma Five Years After Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review
|
Metastatic lesions of the spleen are a rare finding and are generally associated with widespread disease. Moreover, solitary metastases of the spleen are exceptional. In this paper, we describe the case of a patient who developed an isolated splenic metastasis from colon carcinoma five years after surgery, and was successfully treated by splenectomy. We also review the scant literature experience discussing clinical diagnosis and approaches to this uncommon event.

Current Controversies in Pouch Surgery
|
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis has become the most commonly used procedure for elective treatment of patients with mucosal ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. Since its original description, the procedure has been modified in an attempt to obtain optimal functional results with low morbidity and mortality, and yet provide a cure for the disease. These modifications of the technique are discussed in this review, limited to the current points of controversy. We reviewed the current literature describing restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis. The current "hot topics" for debate are transanal mucosectomy with hand-sewn anastomosis versus the double-stapled technique, the use of diverting ileostomy, indeterminate colitis, the role of laparoscopy, and indications for pouch surgery in the elderly. Longer follow-up of patients and increased knowledge and experience with pouch surgery, coupled with active prospective evaluation of the procedure are required to settle these issues. Patients must be fully informed to understand inherent risks of each choice.

Abdominal Colectomy With Ileorectal Anastomosis
|
colon; From 1980 to 1983, 20 patients had abdominal colectomy with primary ileorectal anastomosis. Fourteen operations were elective and six were emergency. Elective indications included familial polyposis (five), inflammatory bowel disease (four), colon cancer associated with multiple polyps (four), and colon cancer associated with diverticulosis and a history of massive hemorrhage (one). Emergency operations were performed for obstructing sigmoid or rectosigmoid cancer (three), massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (two), and right colon cancer associated with obstructing diverticulitis (one). All patients survived the operation; in three patients complications developed in the immediate postoperative period for a morbidity of 15%. Our experience suggests that abdominal colectomy with primary ileorectal anastomosis can be safely performed in carefully selected cases.
