    FACTORES DE RIESGO ASOCIADOS A COMPLICACIONES DE ANASTOMOSIS COLORRECTAL EN CIRUGÍA COLÓNICA

    Postoperative complications in colorectal surgery can significantly impact patient health. Therefore, this study aims to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative complications in colorectal anastomosis to optimize clinical decision-making through an up-to-date literature review. Studies published between 2019 and 2024 were reviewed using databases such as PUBmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library. Out of 10,000 initial articles, 41 relevant studies were selected. The findings reveal that comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity, liver cirrhosis, and autoimmune disorders increase the risk of postoperative complications, including anastomotic dehiscence, severe infections, and prolonged hospital stays. In adition, factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia negatively affect wound healing and postoperative recovery. The discussion highlights the influence of these factors on tissue perfusion, healing, and infection susceptibility, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in preoperative and postoperative management. Finally, it has been concluded that personalized preoperative strategies and the appropriate selection of surgical techniques are essential to effectively reduce morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

    VISIÓN GENERAL SOBRE LAS NUEVAS TÉCNICAS EN EL MANEJO DE LA OSTEOMIELITIS AGUDA Y CRÓNICA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-09-26) Cevallos Mejía, Ariel Mateo; Toctaquiza Silva, Roberto Carlos
    Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the bone and is caused by an infectious process that leads to inflammation. This process represents a high morbidity and as a consequence could lead to disability. The most common microorganisms related to the pathology are Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. There are two well-defined forms, acute and chronic, which are differentiated by the presence of necrotic bone. Acute osteomyelitis is of hematogenous cause and is predominant in pediatric age, and it is important to note that in the initial stages we will not find dead bone; and the difference with chronic osteomyelitis is that here we do find necrotic bone, product of the arrival of pathogens to a bone affected by surgery or trauma. The therapeutic approach is multidisciplinary and depends on the stage of the disease and its classification, and is based on six fundamental pillars: surgical debridement, microbiological diagnosis, obliteration of the dead space, antibiotic therapy directed to the causative microorganisms and finally the reconstruction of soft tissues and bone.
