Surgical Management of Benign and Malignant Colorectal Disease in the Immunocompromised Patient

    • Immunosuppression alters colorectal disease
    • Immunosuppressive therapy for inflammatory bowel disease may worsen postoperative outcomes
    • Diverticulitis, even if uncomplicated, should be treated with a surgical resection in patients who have had a solid-organ transplantation
    • Typhlitis may mimic appendicitis in immunocompromised patients but should not be managed with surgery
    • Certain neoplasms are increased in the setting of immunosuppression

Metabolic Response to Critical Illness - Part 2

    • Use of growth hormone for manipulation of metabolic response and muscle characteristics. This in combination with early physical therapy/exercise aids in preservation.
    • Anti-cytokine antibodies for partial attenuation of metabolic response. These approaches have elucidated the complexity of mechanisms leading to the metabolic response of critically ill patients.
    • Relatively recent adoption of the important role of the gut in metabolic response. This includes production of mediators and functioning as a barrier to bacteria which dramatically affect severity of metabolic response.
