Common complications are wound dehiscence, cerebrospinal fluid leakage (as was the concern in our patient), retrograde infection, meningitis and tethered cord syndrome.13 The present case is unusual for several reasons. As described, only 21% of ASMs occur in males. While there has been one ...
Based on these considerations, the overall goal of fluid management should typically be a positive fluid balance at the end of surgery of ~ 1 L. This should be sufficient to avoid hypovolemia and AKI, while limiting substantial postoperative weight gain (> 2.5 kg/days) which is associat...
Intake of clear fluids up until 2 h before the induction of anaesthesia is allowed. Intake of solids should be withheld at ≥6 h before anaesthesia. Evidence level: Moderate Recommendation grade: Strong Preoperative treatment with carbohydrates By providing a clear fluid containing a defined (12...

Many patients are pleased that the prolapse is cured, hence occasional leakage of mucus or faeces is accepted. Many elderly patients do not object to wearing a pad. However, some patients—not the majority—are troubled by continuing incontinence. Despite the prolapse, incontinence may be the ...
These complications may be due either to filtration of air through the staple line to the extraperitoneal space (facilitated by a wide excision of the rectal mucosa with a too deep purse string involving the whole rectal wall) or to leakage of bacterial content leading to pelvic sepsis and requ...
