Does colectomy predispose to small intestinal bacterial (SIBO) and fungal overgrowth (SIFO)?
Objectives: After subtotal colectomy, 40% of patients report chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and poor quality of life. Its etiology is unknown. We determined whether small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or small intestinal fungal overgrowth ...

Abstract Background Studies regarding the long‐term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) performed in older patients with colorectal tumors are limited. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the long‐term outcomes of older patients with colorectal tumors who underwent ESD and identify prognostic factors.

Advantages of Robotic Right Colectomy With Intracorporeal Anastomosis
Through retrospective review of consecutive charts, we compare the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes after robotic-assisted right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (RIA) (n=89) and laparoscopic right colectomy with extracorporeal ...
