| | Short Bowel Syndrome |
 | | Intestinal resection also leads to a series of morphologic and functional changes of the bowel, which aid in the recovery of bowel function, termed intestinal adaptation. | | | This section will discuss the features of normal digestion and absorption and the physiologic consequences of intestinal resection to demonstrate how best to care for these patients. | | | This technique is especially useful in patients who have previously has small bowel resection and are at risk for the SBS. |

| | eMedicine - Transurethral Resection of the Prostate : Article by Stephen W Leslie, MD, FACS |
| | If the transurethral resection will take longer than 90 minutes of operating time to complete, then an open prostatectomy procedure or some alternative therapy is recommended. | | | Resectionists throughout the country discovered that the operation could not be performed with ease; that its technique was exceedingly difficult to acquire as well as to execute; that the incidence of morbidity and mortality could be alarmingly high following transurethral resection; and that unexpectedly poor end results were observed in a disconcerting number of patients. | | | The precise distance between the verumontanum and the external sphincter demonstrates some slight individual variation and should be verified visually before starting the resection and periodically during the surgery. |

| | Resection Margins |
| | Resection margin is a surgical factor that has been evaluated for its influence on the long-term outcome after resection of HCC, but its significance remains controversial. | | | Adjuvant therapy has so far proved disappointing in preventing recurrence after resection of HCC, and aggressive management of recurrence appears to be the best way of improving the long-term outcome. | | | Based on a prospectively collected database, we conducted a detailed analysis of the effects of the width and histologic involvement of the resection margin on the incidence and pattern of recurrence after resection of HCC. |

| | Pancreatic Cancer |
| | For the surgical treatment of pancreatic head cancer, the classical Whipple operation is still the standard procedure but during the last two decades, pylorus-preserving duodenopancreatectomy has been evolved as a more conservative procedure in order to omit the consequences of partial gastrectomy. | | | However, due to the resistance of pancreatic cancers against chemoradiation, curative resection represents the only therapy with a potential for cure. | | | Finally, only surgical exploration can offer full opportunity for resection for cure. |

| | Acoustic Neuroma: Resection or Radiosurgery |
| | Surprisingly little information has been published on long-term imaging-based outcomes after resection. | | | Post et al found that 4 of 56 patients (7%) had an incomplete resection in their attempted hearing preservation series and that three developed regrowth within three years ( 24). | | | Younger patients with good hearing should have attempted hearing preservation, either with radiosurgery or resection ( 28). |

| | Other patients present with a past medical history of intestinal ischemia from malrotation and volvulus that required intestinal resection. | | | Intestinal adaptation may take weeks to months to be achieved, and, in the interim, children who have had intestinal resection need nutritional support through a variety of therapeutic measures, including parenteral nutrition. | | | As a consequence, the infant and the young child have a favorable long-term prognosis compared to an adult in regards to potential intestinal growth after intestinal resection. |

| | Resection of Sympomatic, Complex Aspergilloma - Kucharczuk |
| | These results are probably due to a combination of better patient selection, modified operative techniques, an improved postoperative management. | | | Surgical resection remains the definitive treatment of symptomatic complex aspergilloma. Improvement in patient selection, operative techniques, and postoperative care has markedly improved the outcome in these very difficult patients. | | | Our recent institutional experience with surgical resection for complex pulmonary aspergilloma includes 22 consecutive patients over a thirteen year period. Preoperative FEV1 ranged from 20% to 80% of predicted. |
