Abstract

Background

Back in the 1970s, the administration of oral antibiotics combined with mechanical bowel preparation prior to colorectal surgery was considered standard procedure and adopted widely. Subsequent evidence suggested that bowel cleansing was unnecessary, even harmful, and hence was abandoned. Most recent evidence, however, suggests that full preparation significantly improves a spectrum of colectomy-specific postoperative outcomes.

Purpose

The purpose of this review was to describe existing literature regarding the optimal bowel preparation regimen prior to elective colorectal resection. In addition, we evaluate the available evidence on each component—oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and intravenous antibiotics, with regard to short-term postoperative outcomes.

Conclusions

Current best evidence suggests that colorectal resection should be preceded by a combination of oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and intravenous antibiotics at induction. Further randomized controlled trials are required due to a paucity of level 1 evidence.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
