The aortic arch could be one of the most complex locations due to the origin of supra-aortic branches and the need for previous or subsequent carotid-subclavian bypass grafting.

It should be ideally performed before neural changes become irreversible following long-term entrapment. No consensus exists on a critical time limit that would make surgery worthwhile.

Paresthesia resolved in all patients and nighttime symptoms decreased in 83% cases. Following ulnar decompression, pain decreased by 75 % and numbness resolved in 87% patients.

Clinical Description: A 45-year-old young gentleman with non-radiating chronic intermittent abdominal pain for four to five years of duration without any significant weight loss. Clinical examination was non-specific with stable vitals. Management: Ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis was done and it was reported to have ileocecal intussusception of approximately 10 cm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an ileal lipoma as a lead point for ileocecal intussusception. The laparoscopic reduction was attempted and was ultimately manually reduced with resection of the lipoma and the bowel as resected and anastomosed.

The objective of this study was to investigate stool and bowel movements as late complications to colorectal and anal cancer treatment.\u0000\u0000Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study from a single center using patient reported outcome measurements. We included patients who had surgery for colorectal and anal cancer from October 2019 to January 2022. This was supplemented by a subgroup of patients with late complications after chemo-radiation therapy for anal cancer. The study population comprised 293 patients. The main outcome included descriptive data on stool and bowel movement related complications. We used the Low Anterior Resection Symptom score (LARS), St Mark´s incontinence score, Bristol stool form scale, Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms Score (PAC-SYM), colostomy impact factor and self-rated health on a visual analog scale as measurement tools.\u0000\u0000Results: The low anterior resection symptom score was median 36 (range 24-41) in patients with rectum cancer, for patients with anal cancer it was 39 (4-41), for patients with a right or left sided hemicolectomy it was 26 (4-41) and 25 (0-41), respectively.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Patients who had surgery for rectum cancer had in 90% of the cases major Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS).
