Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles (DRA) is a benign condition that generally occurs in 12 months post-partum women or in obese subjects who have suffered evident weight loss. Moreover, the association between rectus abdominis diastasis and ventral hernia is a common condition especially in multiparous women.

We retrospectively evaluated PubMed databases, Embase, and the Cochrane Library by applying various combinations of the subject-related terms. The search terms identified wit....[more]
Background: Computed tomography (CT) is generally performed in preoperative evaluations of patients with colorectal cancer. Tumor location and extent are commonly evaluated in only axial-view CT images. Here, we evaluated the overall longitudinal structure and circumference of tumors by using both axial- and sagittal-view CT images acquired since January 2024.
Methods: From January 2024 to March 2025, twenty-three patients with colorectal cancer who underwent anterior resection at our hospital were retrospectively enrolled in this study. T....[more]
Purpose: Many factors, including body composition, can influence the prognosis of colo-rectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the effect of sarcopenia on survival in patients subjected to elective resection of colorectal cancer.
Methods: The study included 93 patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum scheduled for elective resection. Sarcopenia was diagnosed by CT scan measurement of the total cross-sectional area of the psoas muscles (TPA).
Results: Sarcopenia was detected in 29 patients (31.....[more]

Background: Colovesical fistula (CVF) is a rare but serious complication of intra-abdominal pathology, commonly resulting from diverticulitis, malignancy, or radiation. Management strategies vary, and the role of preoperative ostomy remains unclear in high-risk patients. Objective: To evaluate factors associated with mortality in CVF patients and examine the impact of preoperative ostomy on outcomes, particularly in relation to septic shock and SOFA scores.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 181 patients with CVF between 2000....[more]
