    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Appendectomy and cigarette smoking have been suggested to reduce the chance of developing ulcerative colitis. A case-control study was undertaken to determine the relative incidence of appendectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis. METHODS: This case-control study examined the incidence of appendectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis and patients attending an orthopedic outpatient clinic. RESULTS: Of 100 patients with ulcerative colitis, 75 pairs were matched for age, gender, and cigarette smoking. The ulcerative colitis group had an appendectomy rate of 8 percent (6/75), compared with 21 percent in the control group (P=0.018). The odds ratio was 3.5 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.15–10.6). CONCLUSIONS: No previous study has examined the effect of appendectomy, controlling for cigarette smoking. This study confirms that appendectomy protects against or reduces the chance of development of ulcerative colitis. A possible immunological explanation for this effect is advanced.

    Notes: Abstract BACKGROUND: Appendiceal tumors are rare and often unexpectedly discovered in an acute situation, in which decision-making is difficult. To help define the most appropriate management, a retrospective analysis was undertaken to describe the clinicopathologic behavior of appendiceal tumors, and the literature was reviewed of the management of the different types of appendiceal tumors. METHOD: From a single center, a histopathologic database of 7,970 appendectomies, all appendiceal tumors, were identified and case notes reviewed. Analysis of clinical presentation, histopathology, operation, and outcome is presented. RESULTS: During a 16-year period (7,970 appendectomies), 74 patients (0.9 percent) with appendiceal tumors were identified: 42 carcinoid, 12 benign, and 20 malignant. Acute appendicitis was the most common presentation (49 percent), and 9.5 percent were incidental findings. Primary malignant tumors of the appendix were found in 0.1 percent of all appendectomies. Secondary malignant disease was identified in the appendix of 11 patients, most commonly (55 percent) from patients with primary colorectal disease. There was a high incidence of synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancer in all appendiceal tumors: carcinoids, 10 percent; benign tumors, 33 percent; secondary malignancies, 55 percent; primary malignancies, 89 percent. CONCLUSION: Appendiceal tumors are uncommon and most often present as appendicitis. Most are benign and can be managed by appendectomy, except adenocarcinomas and carcinoids larger than 2 cm, which are most appropriately managed by right hemicolectomy. A suggested management algorithm is provided. Controversy exists over the management of carcinoids 1 to 2 cm in size and adenocarcinoids. All types of appendiceal tumors have a high incidence of synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancer.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Giant colonic diverticulum are rare, with 103 reported cases in 95 patients. The experience of any one surgeon is limited. We aimed to retrospectively review our experience and to review the literature on origin, pathology, and management of this rare and unusual problem. METHOD: Cases were identified by review of pathologic database and by computerized audit from three hospitals. RESULTS: Five giant colonic diverticulum were identified in four patients, and the pathology and management were reviewed. CONCLUSION: A definition and classification system of giant colonic diverticulum is suggested. Giant colonic diverticulum should be the universal term to cover all colonic diverticulum larger than 4 cm, and we suggest that there are two types based on histology. Literature review reveals 103 reported cases in 95 patients. Type I (87 percent) is a pseudodiverticulum, perhaps related to conventional diverticular disease, whereas Type II (13 percent) is a true diverticulum, which is probably a type of communicating cystic congenital duplication. These lesions tend to occur in the sigmoid colon (93 percent) and present with complications similar to conventional diverticular disease. In the presence of conventional diverticular disease, consideration should be given to anterior resection, and in the absence, diverticulectomy should be considered.

    Notes: Abstract Pseudomyxoma peritonei presents a unique challenge to the surgical oncologist. Residual gelatinous tumor with varying degrees of adherence always remains on the abdominal viscera after standard excisional therapy. Traditionally, this has been removed by “electroevaporation” with ball-tip diathermy, but this is associated with an extensive peritoneal burn and associated ileus. We describe the use of an ultrasonic surgical aspirator as a safe and efficient method of tumor removal in this condition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous rapportons le treizième cas de fistule rectourétrale associée à la maladie de Crohn. Le patient, un homme blanc de 37 ans, souffre depuis 20 ans d'une maladie de Crohn intestinale et a subi de nombreuses résections intestinales. Il souffre d'une fécalurie, d'une urorrhée et élimine de l'urine par un orifice situé juste à la base du scrotum. Il se plaint d'une infection urinaire et d'une iléo-colite sévère. Il a subi une évaluation diagnostique (cysto-urétroscopie, proctoscopie, pyélographie rétrograde, urographie intraveineuse, cysto-urétrographie mictionelle) qui a mis en évidence une fistule comprenant l'urètre membraneux, le rectum, le périnée et le scrotum. Il a été traité avec du Metronidazole (20 mg/kg/jour pendant 12 mois). A un an, on n'observe plux aucun signe de l'affection intestinale ni de l'infection urinaire. L'orifice externe et le réseau fistuleux périnéal sont fermés et le drainage par le rectum et l'urètre est amélioré. Aucun effet secondaire n'a limité l'usage des médicaments. Aucune récidive n'a été observée dans les trois mois qui ont suivi l'arrêt de la thérapeutique. Nous présentons une revue de la littérature sur le traitement des fistules recto-urétrales en cas de maladie de Crohn. Les chirurgiens ont utilisé successivement différentes approches dans la réparation de cette lésion mais aucune technique isolée n'a prouvé sa supériorité ou la possibilité de la mettre en pratique de manière généralisée. Nous soulignons, ainsi que le suggère la littérature, que le traitement doit être individualisé. Le traitement avec du Métronidazole joue un rôle important chez les patients porteurs d'une fistule recto-urétrale et d'une proctite concomitante, d'une iléocolite, d'une infection urinaire et qui a déjà subi de nombreuses interventions chirurgicales.
    Notes: Abstract We report the thirtheenth case of a recto-urethral fistula in Crohn's disease. The patient, a 37-year-old white male, had a 20-year history of intestinal Crohn's disease and had undergone numerous bowel resections. His symptoms were fecaluria, urorrhea and passing of urine from an orifice just outside the base of the scrotum. He had urinary infection and severe ileocolitis. He underwent a diagnostic evaluation (cystourethroscopy, proctoscopy, retrograde pyelography, intravenous urography, voiding cystourethrography) that reveled a fistula comprising the membranous urethra, the rectum, the perineum and the scrotum. He was treated with Metronidazole (20 mg/kg/day/12mo). At 1 year no signs of intestinal disease and urinary sepsis were noted. The external orifice and the perineal fistulous network were closed, and the drainage from the rectum and the urethra had improved. No side effects limited use of the drug. No relapse was observed in the 3 months, after the therapy was discontinued. We present a review of the literature on the management of rectourethral fistulas in Crohn's disease. Surgeons have used successfully several approaches in the repair of this lesion, but no single procedure has proved optimal or even universally applicable. We emphasize, as the literature suggests, that the management must be individualized. Medical therapy with metronidazole has an important role in a patient with rectourethral fistula and concomitant proctitis, ileocolitis, urinary sepsis and multiple previous surgical procedures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé. La maladie de Crohn (colite granulomateuse) s'accompagne fréquemment de lésions périanales dont le traitement peut être difficile. Différentes modalités thérapeutiques ont été essayées avec des résultats variables et comportent: chirurgie, traitement médical et diète. Les études prospectives contrôlées de ces modalités thérapeutiques sont peu nombreuses et il est difficile d'en tirer des conclusions définitives en raison de la grande variabilité de la sévérité de l'affection et des traitements. Le but de cette revue est de clarifier la position des différentes modalités thérapeutiques en soulignant les résultats et les complications.
    Notes: Abstract. Crohn's disease (Granulomatous Colitis) is often accompanied by perianal lesions which can be difficult to treat. Different management modalities have been tried with variable results, these included; surgery, medical therapy, and diet. There has been few prospective controlled trials of treatment performed, and from most studies it is difficult to draw any definitive conclusions because of the variations in disease severity and treatment. The aim of this review is to clarify the position of different modalities of management with emphasis on the results, and complications.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé. Une complication congénitale cystique du caecum survient classiquement au cours de l'enfance ou de l'adolescence. Nous avons identifié un patient qui a déve-loppé un volvulus du caecum à l'âge de 91 ans en raison d'une communication large avec une duplication cystique du caecum. Une revue de la littérature montre que les duplications cystiques du caecum peuvent devenir sympto-matiques de manière précoce en raison de la survenue de complications mais jusqu'à l'étude de ce cas présent, le volvus n'avait pas été reconnu comme une modalité de présentation d'une duplication cystique du caecum.
    Notes: Abstract. Congenital caecal cystic duplication of the gastrointestinal tract usually present during infancy or young childhood. We have identified a patient who presented at 91 years of life with a caecal volvulus caused by a large communicating caecal cystic duplication. Review of the literature shows that caecal cystic duplications become symptomatic early when they cause complications, but until this report, volvulus was not a recognised presentation of caecal cystic duplication.
