Primary Anastomosis with Diverting Loop Ileostomy vs Hartmann ’s Procedure for Acute Diverticulitis: What Happens after Discharge? Results of a Nationwide Analysis
Current guidelines recommend primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy (PADLI) over Hartmann ’s procedure (HP) for acute diverticulitis. We aimed to compare the utilization of these management strategies and their longitudinal outcomes at a national level. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

The Association Between BMI and Nodal Harvest in Elective Colectomy for Colon Cancer
Obesity has been linked to the development of Colorectal Cancer and to increase morbidity. However, the impact BMI has on surgical staging through nodal harvest is not entirely understood. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Decreasing Wound Infection and Deep Surgical Site Infection in Colorectal Surgery: The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery and a Rigorous Perioperative Protocol
Colorectal surgery has the highest surgical site infection rate for abdominal surgery, 5-30%. We hypothesize that a minimally invasive surgical approach and use of standardized perioperative treatment path have led to a decrease in SSI rate. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Disparity in Treatment for Rectosigmoid Junction Cancer: A National Cancer Database Study
The treatment of middle and low rectal cancer is well established, but optimal management of rectosigmoid junction (RSJ) cancer remains controversial. The varied definition may lead to misclassification, overtreatment, or undertreatment, with all associated risks. Variables other than tumor location may impact the treatment choice and subsequent outcomes. We sought to investigate the patient and provider factors that may impact the treatment approach for RSJ cancer. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Equity in Postoperative Outcomes in Geriatric Patients Requiring Non-elective Colectomy in a High-density, Multilingual Hospital Setting
Between 2013-2025, general surgery procedures in geriatric patients are predicted to increase by 18%. Inpatient geriatric colorectal surgeries are expected to increase by more than 40%. In addition to volume, the geriatric patient population is increasing in diversity, especially in New York City. This changing demographic is concerning for future disparities of care. In prior studies, impoverished elderly immigrant patients had higher stage colorectal cancer at diagnosis and were less likely to undergo colorectal cancer screening.

Impact of Age and Insurance Status on Colorectal Cancer Presentation
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young patients has been increasing, and these patients typically present at a later stage. The impact of health insurance status on stage at presentation in patients with CRC is well established. However, its role in different age groups has not been thoroughly evaluated.

Impact of Medicaid Expansion on the Treatment of Stage II and III Rectal Cancer Patients
Recent studies have found that increased coverage from Medicaid expansion (ME) has improved diagnosis of various cancers for Medicaid patients. For this study, we attempt to measure the impact of ME on the surgical treatment of rectal cancer as well as the usage of neoadjuvant therapies prior to surgery.

Intravenous Injection of Contrast to Assess Colonic Anastomosis in Non-emergent Colorectal Surgery Does Not Reduce Anastomotic Leak Rate: A Retrospective Analysis Using the NSQIP Database
Anastomotic breakdown is a feared complication in colorectal surgery. There is a recent trend to use intravenous Injection of Contrast to assess Colonic Anastomosis (ICCA) to obtain real-time information about bowel perfusion. The evidence that using ICCA reduces anastomotic leak rates is limited. We performed a retrospective analysis to determine if ICCA impacts leak rates in patients undergoing non-emergent colectomy.

Novel Percutaneous Access to Large Intestine Using a Double Balloon Endolumenal Platform for Tumor Excision: Preclinical Trials and a Case Report
Endoluminal therapies, especially in the right colon, can be technically difficult. Percutaneous access (PA) has been used for upper GI tumor excision. Therefore, we evaluated the feasibility, safety, and potential for clinical use of PA in the colon. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)
