  1. ncbi After-hours colorectal surgery: a risk factor for anastomotic leakage
    Niels Komen
    Department of Surgery, ZNA Middelheim, Antwerp, Belgium
    Int J Colorectal Dis 24:789-95. 2009
    ..This study aims to increase knowledge of colorectal anastomotic leakage by performing an incidence study and risk factor analysis with new potential risk factors in a Dutch tertiary referral center...
  2. ncbi Colorectal anastomotic leakage: a new experimental model
    Niels Komen
    Department of Surgery, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    J Surg Res 155:7-12. 2009
    ..To date, animal experiments concerning colorectal anastomosis focus on anastomotic healing instead of anastomotic leakage. This study aims to develop a new experimental model for colorectal anastomotic leakage...
  3. ncbi Detection of colon flora in peritoneal drain fluid after colorectal surgery: can RT-PCR play a role in diagnosing anastomotic leakage?
    N Komen
    Department of Surgery, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    J Microbiol Methods 79:67-70. 2009
    ..This may indicate an elevated sensitivity of the RT-PCR method. The results showed that the semi-quantitative RT-PCR method has a clear potential to be useful as a powerful tool in early detection of anastomotic leakage...
  4. ncbi Calcium score: a new risk factor for colorectal anastomotic leakage
    Niels Komen
    Department of Surgery, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Kingdom of the Netherlands
    Am J Surg 201:759-65. 2011
    ..Atherosclerosis is suggested to have a detrimental effect on anastomotic healing. This study aimed to analyze the calcium score, a measure for atherosclerosis, as a risk factor for AL...
  5. ncbi High tie versus low tie in rectal surgery: comparison of anastomotic perfusion
    Niels Komen
    Department of Surgery, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Int J Colorectal Dis 26:1075-8. 2011
    ..Both "high tie" (HT) and "low tie" (LT) are well-known strategies in rectal surgery. The aim of this study was to compare colonic perfusion after HT to colonic perfusion after LT...
