<br><b>Introduction:</b> Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are a clinical condition that may develop after any abdominal surgery and constitute the leading cause of mechanical small bowel obstructions.</br> <br><b>Aim:</b> This study investigates factors which influence the formation of postoperative adhesion and evaluates the efficiency of applying minimally invasive surgical techniques in reducing adhesion.</br> <br><b>Material and methods:</b> Patients who underwent surgery to diagnose obstructive ileus in our clinic between January 2015 and January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic data of the patients, operation details time between the operations and history of hospitalizations, postoperative mortality and morbidity, as well as the severity of complications were recorded. The patients included in the study were divided into groups according to the surgical technique applied in the first operation (laparoscopy/ laparotomy), the abdominal incision line (upper/lower/total), and the etiology of the primarily operated lesion (benign/malignant).</br> <br><b>Results:</b> One hundred eighteen (118) patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 61.2 ± 10.8 (39–82) years. Age, ileus history, time to the onset of ileus, length of hospital stay and the number of complications were shorter in the laparoscopy group as compared to the laparotomy group and the difference was found to be statistically significant. In addition, when patients were categorized according to the abdominal incision line, fewer hospitalizations and more frequent postoperative complications due to ileus were observed in the sub-umbilical incision group (p < 0.05).</br> <br><b>Conclusions:</b> Postoperative adhesion formation is currently one of the clinical conditions which pose a challenge to both the patient and the clinician due to its incidence and recurrence. However, adhesion formation can be reduced by applying minimally invasive surgical methods, especially laparoscopic surgery and precise maneuvers during surgery.</br>

Background Colorectal cancer is a significant global health concern, ranking as the second most deadly and third most common cancer worldwide. Early detection and removal of precancerous lesions play a crucial role in preventing cancer development and reducing mortality. Since FDG uptake is not specific for malignancy, incidental increased FDG uptake in the gastrointestinal tract may be challenging to interpret and may require further colonoscopic examination. This study aimed to investigate the features associated with malignant and premalignant pathology in patients with incidental colonic FDG uptake and determine the necessity of colonoscopy for each FDG uptake. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on data from patients who underwent colonoscopies between January 2016 and December 2021. Patients with FDG uptake in known colorectal malignancy regions were excluded. The study included 56 patients with incidental colonic FDG uptake. PET/CT images were visually and quantitatively analyzed, and the corresponding colonoscopy and histopathological results were recorded. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between FDG uptake patterns, SUVmax values, and histopathological diagnoses. Colonoscopic findings were categorized as malignancy, polyps, and non-neoplastic lesions. Results Among the 56 patients with incidental colonic FDG uptake, 36 lesions were identified, and histopathology revealed malignancy in 10 (17.9%) patients and premalignant polyps in the 26 (46.4%) cases. Focal FDG uptake with corresponding wall thickening or soft tissue density on CT was associated with a higher likelihood of premalignant or malignant lesions. The SUVmax values demonstrated a significant difference between negative findings and polyps/malignancies. However, no significant difference was observed between malignant and premalignant lesions. A ROC curve analysis was made and assesed a cut-off value of 11.1 SUVmax (sensitivity: 83.3% and specificity: 90%) to distinguish premalignant or malignant lesions from non-malignant lesions. Conclusion Incidental colonic FDG uptake with a focal pattern and corresponding CT findings were more likely to indicate premalignant or malignant lesions. SUVmax values were helpful in predicting the presence of pathological findings, but histopathological verification remains necessary for a definitive diagnosis. These findings contribute to our understanding of the clinical implications of incidental colonic FDG uptake and highlight the importance of follow-up colonoscopy for further evaluation.
