Abstract
BACKGROUND A set of activating and inhibitory KIRs (aKIR, iKIR) are involved in NK cell mediated immunity. This study was carried out in order to investigate the KIRs pattern and its association with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) development and clinical outcomes. METHODS Sequence-specific primers-polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) for typing of 16 KIR genes was utilized in 165 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma with 165 age and gender matched healthy controls (CNs). RESULTS Possessing KIR2DS1, 2DS5, 3DS1, 2DS4fl, 2DL5, telomeric half KIR genes, ≥ 4 aKIR and CXT4 genotype were associated with an increased susceptibility to colorectal adenocarcinoma while KIR2DS4del and iKIR >aKIR confer resistance to CRC. On the other hand, clinical associations revealed the defensive role of telomeric KIR3DL1, 3DS1, 2DS1, 2DS4, genotypes with ≥ 4 aKIR and more inhibitory KIRs than activating ones (I > A) against metastasis and CXTX genotype in perineural invasion. CONCLUSION According to current results it appears that KIRs system play distinctive roles in development and metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Previous proteomic studies have identified alpha 1-antitrypsin (A1AT) as a potential serum biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC). In this case-control study, we evaluated plasma A1AT concentration and activity as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer in a group of 113 sporadic CRC patients. We also analyzed A1AT gene promoter methylation, and genotypes in this group of CRC patients. The plasma A1AT and CEA concentrations were measured using the nephelometric and ELISA methods, respectively. A1AT activity was determined by Trypsin Inhibitor Capacity assay. The genomic DNA from blood samples were subjected to Z and S genotype analysis using PCR-RFLP method and the gene promoter methylation in tumors and their adjacent normal tissues was determined by methylation specific-PCR assay. The plasma levels of A1AT and CEA in patients (median, 2.3 g/L and 5.96 ng/ml, respectively) were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (medians, 1.43 g/L and 2.57 ng/ml, respectively) (p = 0.0001). The plasma A1AT activity and concentrations were positively correlated with the tumor stage and well-discriminated between early and advanced stages. The A1AT activity in plasma was the most useful marker for CRC diagnosis (median 4.8 mmol/min/ml in cases vs 1.91 mmol/min/ml in controls, p = 0.0001). No deficient Z or S alleles of A1AT was observed in patients' genotype and the gene promoter tends to be more methylated in normal mucosa than in tumor tissues. We conclude that plasma A1AT activity has better sensitivity and specificity than CEA measurement for the early detection of CRC. Promoter demethylation might play a role in increasing plasma A1AT levels in CRC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are various protoscolicidal agents for inactivation of protoscoleces of hydatid cysts before and during surgical operation. The present study was aimed to evaluate the protoscolicidal effect of two concentrations of Eucalyptus globulus on protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato under in vitro condition and to compare its efficacy with hypertonic saline, povidone iodine and silver nitrate. METHODS Live protoscoleces obtained from the liver of naturally infected sheep were exposed to 0.5% and 1% of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, 5% hypertonic saline, 10% povidone iodine and 0.5% silver nitrate for 1 and 3minutes. Phosphate buffered saline was used as a negative control. One percent eosin staining method was used to test the viability of protoscoleces in different groups. RESULTS While the mean percentage of dead protoscoleces was 6.08% in the control group, the scolicidal power of 5% hypertonic saline was only 6.54% and 6.60% after 1 and 3min respectively. 0.5% E. globulus EO demonstrated 97.38% and 100% scolicidal activity after 1 and 3min respectively. The mean protoscolicidal power of 1% E. globulus EO, 10% povidone iodine and 0.5% silver nitrate was 100% after one minute. CONCLUSIONS According to the results of this study, E. globulus EO demonstrated high scolicidal power in a short period of time. Hence, this herbal product could be considered as a potent natural scolicidal agent that could be used before and during surgery of hydatid disease.

Abstract
Background Unlike developed countries where studies on all aspects of colorectal cancers are widely numerous, Iran as a Middle Eastern country show very few studies especially ones comparing the differences between colon and rectal cancer. In this study, firstly we report demographic, clinical and pathologic characteristics of patients with rectum and colon cancer and secondly compare these findings in order to investigate probable differences. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 238 patients were divided into two groups: the rectal cancer group and the colonic cancer group. Demographic, clinical and pathologic information of patients were statistically compared using Stata version 12. Results There were no statistical differences between the two groups regarding age and gender and BMI. Regarding clinical presentation, the proportion of rectal bleeding was significantly higher in colon cancer group (P<0.001). Moreover, abdominal pain was significantly more frequent in colon cancer group (P<0.001). Tumor stage showed statistically difference between the two groups (P=0.02). Conclusions We did not find enough evidences to conclude that rectal cancer and colon cancer should be investigated as two distinct malignancies but findings showed significant differences such as stage at diagnosis encouraged us in order to conduct other appropriate studies for better evaluation of this issue.

Abstract
Background: Morbid obesity (body mass index≥40 kg/m2 or >35 kg/m2 with co-morbidity) is an important
factor in reducing the quality of life which is influenced by the characteristics of the individual, his social, cultural,
and environmental conditions; also, each disease has unique effects on it. Although most of the studies have been conducted
on obesity (25>BMI>40), how to prevent it and improve life quality, there is lack of knowledge about what morbid obese
people really experience about their life quality. Thus, this qualitative study aimed to explore the viewpoints of morbid obese people about life quality.
Methods: In this conventional content analysis, data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 20 morbid obese patients who were referred to nutrition and obesity clinics of Shiraz and Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Purposeful sampling was processed from May 2016 to January 2017. The sampling continued until data saturation. Each interview was recorded by audio recorder and typed in the MAXQDA10 software. Data were analyzed after each interview. The meaning units were encoded and the codes were categorized. This trend continued until the main and sub-categories emerged.
Results: Data analysis indicated 1835 codes, 76 sub-subcategories, 26 subcategories and 6 main categories including physical changes, psychological experiences, socio-personal dysfunction, negative body image, financial pressure, and change in the spirituality.
Conclusion: Final results indicated that life quality had a special definition in morbid obesity and includes very different dimensions. This study can promote health care providers’ knowledge (nurses) for supporting obese people and improving their quality of life by community-based care approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fecal incontinence is a common disorder in old age; however, it may not threaten life, but it can cause morbidity and many problems. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by chronic electrical stimulation of the nerves in the sacral plexus through a lead implanted at the S3 foramen. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of SNS in Shiraz. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from patients who underwent implantation of an SNS device from 2012 to 2018 were reviewed in Shiraz. Thirty patients who had incontinence were evaluated by a committee. Pre- and postoperative assessments of the severity of incontinence were performed using Wexner Incontinence Score. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients proceeded to insertion in the temporary SNS, and of these, 16 were elected to have a permanent SNS. Finally, seven patients were satisfied with their treatment. There was a significant reduction in the pre- and post-SNS Wexner Incontinence Scores from a median of 15-10, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In our study, 16 patients underwent SNS protocol, and 43.7% of them showed a good response and recovered. It is recommended as a method for the treatment of fecal incontinence. Permanent SNS is effective, showing a significant improvement in fecal incontinence scores.

Abstract
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a critical role in the neurogenesis, differentiation, survival of the neurons, regulation of the appetite, and energy homeostasis. Two key proteins, Huntingtin associated protein-1 (HAP1) and sortilin1, regulate the intracellular trafficking and stabilization of the precursor proBDNF through interaction with its prodomain region and mark it for secretion. Evidence suggests that the most frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of BDNF gene (rs6265) has been associated with different psychiatric, neurodegenerative and eating disorders. In this study, structural bioinformatics and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied, in order to get precise insights into the impact of Val66Met polymorphism on the proBDNF structure and its interaction with HAP1 and Sortilin1. Homology modeling, structure validation, refinement and also protein-protein docking were performed using appropriate servers. The stability, the fluctuations and the compactness of protein complexes were measured by MD simulation parameters including root mean square deviation (RMSD), root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and Radius of gyration (Rg), respectively. The mutant proBDNF complexes with HAP1 and Sortilin1 revealed higher RMSD and RMSF values and also variable Rg over time compared with wild-type proBDNF. These computational results indicated that, wild-type proBDNF possessed more stable structure in binding with HAP1 and Sortilin1 compared with its mutant form. Therefore, Val66Met SNP could be deleterious due to making structural changes. It may cause a decrease in proBDNF secretion, which could possibly lead to different psychiatric, neurodegenerative and eating disorders. Further experimental lab studies are required for a more accurate conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence has been defined as the degree to which a patient's voluntary behavior corresponds with the clinical recommendations of health care providers. The aim of this study was to predict self-management behaviors in obese patients undergoing surgery based on general and specific adherence scales. METHODS All obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery in Ghadir Mother and Child Hospital, Shiraz, Iran from April 2017 to September 2017 were enrolled. By using available sampling method, 201 patients with BMI above 35 (36.43±35.11) and in the age range of18-65 years (13.38±80/5) were selected. A questionnaire containing general adherence scale (GAS), specific adherence scale (SAS) and post-surgery self-management behaviors questionnaire (BSSQ) was completed by all patients. RESULTS The general and specific adherence scales were significant predictors for self-management behaviors after surgery, and positive relation was found for general and specific adherence scales with self-management behaviors. CONCLUSION Self-management behaviors regarding eating behaviors, supplements, fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and fluid intake, physical activity, dumping syndrome management have significant relationship with general and specific adherence scales. So increasing knowledge, skills, motivation, self-confidence, self-efficacy and self-monitoring of obese patients after surgery seem necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a safe and acceptable alternative to traditional hemorrhoidectomy with shorter hospital stay, better satisfaction, and less postoperative pain. There have, however, been reports on early and late complications. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the impact of stapled hemorrhoidopexy on anorectal function and continence. METHODS Sixty-one patients with rectal prolapse and/or symptomatic circumferential hemorrhoidal disease, as validated by the Wexner incontinence score, were included. Anal manometric indices were measured. The Wexner scores and anal manometric measures were compared pre- and postoperatively using the Mann-Whitney U test. (A P<0.05 was considered significant.). RESULTS Mean age was 46.8 years (range=18-80 y), with a mean follow-up time of 3 months. Fifty-one patients completed their follow-ups. For 45 patients with a Wexner score of 0 and no history of incontinence, the anal maximum squeezing pressure (AMD) was 125.3±43.1 mm Hg, the anal resting pressure (ARD) was 27.8±12.8 mm Hg, and the mean pressure was 40.0±16.8 mm Hg. The changes in the anorectal manometric indices before and 3 months after the operation were not statistically significant (P=0.99, P=0.55, and P=0.32, respectively). In 6 patients with Wexner scores of 1 or higher, the mean values of the AMD, ARD, and mean pressure not only decreased but also increased postoperatively, but the changes were not statistically significant (P=0.32, P=0.42, and P=0.45, correspondingly). CONCLUSION These data represent a series of patients with 3 months' follow-up after stapled hemorrhoidopexy and suggest that this technique is safe in experienced hands. It may have protective effects on anorectal function in patients with imperfect continent scores. Trial Registration Number: IRCT2015101324504N1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perianal fistula is a complicated disorder and most difficult to manage. New treatment methods would help surgeons to achieve a better outcome in patients with perianal fistula. Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has positive effects on wound healing in several conditions. The present study aimed to further determine the effect of HAM on wound healing of perianal fistula in rabbits. METHODS In a prospective experimental study, 14 male rabbits (aged 4-6 months and weighing 3-4 kg) were randomly divided into 2 groups. After 12 weeks, the high type perianal fistula was repaired with endorectal flap (ERF) and ERF plus HAM in the control and case groups, respectively. In all rabbits of the case group, a 1×1 cm width wrap of HAM was applied and fixed around the ERF site. Three weeks later, the repaired site of the perianal fistula was sent for pathologic wound healing scoring. The results were analyzed with the SPSS 21.0 software using Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS Six rabbits of each group survived the study period. There was a statistically significant difference in wound healing between the case and control groups (P<0.001). Wound healing process in the case group occurred better and faster than the control group. CONCLUSION HAM has an effective role in enhancing the ERF procedure and considered appropriate. A combination of HAM with other methods is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is considered an immune modulator cytokine, showing both antitumor and pro-tumor characteristics. Its role in the pathogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer depends on microenvironmental milieu. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study with 58 newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, and 30 healthy individuals was conducted to compare the serum IL-10 levels between patients and controls. Furthermore, the correlation of the cytokine levels with the pathological features and prognosis of the CRC was investigated. IL-10 levels in the sera of patients and controls were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Mean serum IL-10 levels were significantly lower in CRC patients than in controls (P = 0.04). CRC patients with worse prognosis at the time of diagnosis tend to have higher levels of circulating IL-10 than those with better prognosis (P = 0.008). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis demonstrated that IL-10 levels in the sera of CRC patients can be used as a prognostic biomarker in CRC patients (area under the curve = 0.71; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated a dual association of serum IL-10 levels in the initiation and progression of CRC. While lower IL-10 levels were associated with higher risk of the disease, its higher levels were associated with a poorer prognosis.

Abstract
Background: Positive and negative co-stimulatory molecules are important factors determining the outcome of immune responses to the presence of tumors. Since co-stimulatory molecule expression may be affected by gene polymorphisms, we aimed to investigate associations between variants of PD.1 and ICOS and susceptibility to colon cancer. Material and methods: ICOS (-693A/G), ICOS (+1720C/T) and PD.1 (-538G/A) gene polymorphisms were evaluated by the PCR-RFLP method in 76 colon cancer patients and 73 healthy controls. Results: The frequencies of the GG genotype and the G allele at position -693 of the ICOS gene were significantly higher in the patient group (P=0.014 and p=0.0002), while the AA genotype was significantly more common in controls (P=0.0016). At position -538 of PD.1, GG genotype and G allele frequencies were higher in the patient group (P<0.0001and P<0.0001). Again, AA and also AG genotypes significantly predominated in controls (P<0.0001 and P=0.012). Regarding genotypes and alleles of ICOS at position +1720. Frequencies of GCG and GTG haplotypes were higher in patients compared to those of controls (P=0.016 and P<0.0001), while, frequencies of GTA, ATA and ATG haplotypes were higher in controls (P=0.0017, P<0.0001 and P=0.015). GTG/GTG and GTG/GCG double haplotypes were more frequent in patients compared to controls (P=0.0147 and P=0.0071). Conclusion: Our study clarified that PD.1 (-538G/A) and ICOS (-693A/G) gene polymorphisms can be considered as genetic risk factors for the development of colon cancer among Iranian patients.

Abstract
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder. Currently, the final treatment is colectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of proctocolectomy in patients that used a high dose of prednisolone. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five patients presenting for surgical management of histopathologically proven UC. All patients were offered total proctocolectomy (TPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Patients were divided into two groups: low dose of steroids (Group A) and high dose of steroid (Group B) consumers. Data from these patients after 2 years were reviewed and analyzed. Results: From total patients, 34 of them were male and 34 ones were female and seven patients underwent laparatomy. Overall incontinence rate was 8.8%; dysplasia was 22%, pouchitis was 18.9% while mortality was nil. The length of hospital stay was 6.76 days in Group A and 9.21 days in Group B (P = 0.399). Leakage was observed in nine of the patients after surgery (P = 0.589). Fecal incontinence between two groups was not statistically different (P = 0.063). Conclusions: Laparoscopic TPC-IPAA is feasible in patients needing surgical management of UC. Preoperative treatment with high-dose corticosteroids is associated with an increased risk of complications and reoperations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Much controversy exists regarding the role of antibiotics in the development of fistula in-ano after incision and drainage. We evaluated the role of postoperative antibiotics in the prevention of fistula in-ano after incision and drainage of perianal abscess. METHODS In a randomized single blind clinical trial study, 307 patients were randomly selected from those referring for incision and drainage of perianal abscess at Shahid Faghihi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, during September 2013 to September 2014. Patients were allocated randomly either to receive 7 days of oral metronidazole and ciprofloxacin in addition to their standard care or to only receive standard care without any antibiotics after they were discharged from the hospital. Patients were followed for 3 months and final results were evaluated. The study was registered at the clinical trial registry (www.irct.ir; Irct201311049936n7). RESULTS Seven patients were lost to follow-up. Those who used prophylactic antibiotics (n = 155) had significantly lower rates of fistula formation compared with those who did not use any medication (n = 144; P < .001). Men had higher rates of fistula formation (P = .002). Patients who used more cigarettes had higher rates of fistula development (P = .001). In the univariate analysis, only postoperative antibiotic use showed a protective role against fistula formation (odds ratio = 0.426; confidence interval, 0.206-0.881). In the regression analysis postoperative antibiotic use remained protective against fistula development (odds ratio = 0.371; confidence interval, 0.196-0.703), furthermore male sex presented as a risk factor for developing fistula in-ano (odds ratio = 3.11; confidence interval, 1.31-7.38). CONCLUSION Postoperative prophylactic antibiotic therapy including ciprofloxacin and metronidazole play an important role in preventing fistula in-ano formation. Considering the complications of fistula in-ano formation and the minor side effects of antibiotic therapy, based on our results, a 7-10 course of postoperative antibiotics is advised after incision and drainage of perianal abscess.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become more acceptable for obese patients. Single-port sleeve gastrectomy (SPSG) is more popular since each abdominal incision carries the risk of bleeding, hernia, and internal organ injury as well as exponentially affecting cosmesis. This cross-sectional study aimed at comparing multi-port sleeve gastrectomy (MPSG) and SPSG in terms of their early results and complications. METHODS Out of129 obese patients candidated for LSG, 102 patients were assigned to 2 groups of SPSG and MPSG. Complications and demographic data such as body mass index (BMI), age, gender, operation time, and hospital stay were measured. All surgeries were carried out between2013 and 2015 in Shiraz, Iran. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, version 16 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). The continuous and categorical variables were compared using the Student t-test and the Chi-square test or the Fisher exact test, respectively. RESULTS The patients' data from both groups were similar in terms of age, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding volume, and length of hospital stay. Mean BMI was 42.8±0.7 in the SPSG group and 45.3±1.2 in the MPSG group. Duration of surgery was significantly lower in the SPSG group (P<0.001). Only 1 patient from the SPSG group and 5 patients from the MPSG group had bleeding as an early complication. CONCLUSION The differences in each complication between the groups were not statistically significant. SPSG seems to be safe and is the same as MPSG in terms of major postoperative complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER IRCT201512229936N12 The abstract was presented in the 4th International Congress of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Iran, as a poster and published in Iran J Med Sci Journal as a supplement (May 2015; Vol. 40, No. 3).

Abstract
Background: Common bile duct stone (CBDS) as a result of gallstone is one of the gastrointestinal disorders. In this study, the incidence of CBDS and symptomatic gallstone in Shiraz were investigated, and their management suggested. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study that enrolled among 560 patients. The incidence of gallstone together with CBDS was evaluated using an ultrasonography studyand clinical data in the period between March 2014 and 2014 in Shiraz. Comparison between data was done using Student’s t-test or Chi-square test. Results: Of these patients, 18.6% were male, and 81.4% were female with a mean age of 47.67 ± 0.74 years. The concomitant rate of gallstone and CBDS was 8.6%. 6.8% of patients with concomitant of gallstone and CBDS showed symptoms while 1.8% had not been diagnosed before the operation. The mean of serum alkaline phosphatase level in patients with the only gallstone was 255.80 IU/L and patients with concomitant gallstone, and CBDS was 580.88 IU/L with a significant difference between two groups (P < 0.001). Furthermore, liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase) showed a significant difference between two groups of patients (P < 0.01, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Clinical variables such as tenderness, fever, and Morphy sign were more severein patients with concomitant gallstone and CBDS. The concomitant rate of gallstone and CBDS in our society is less that Western countries and asymptomatic patients showed fewer ratios than other countries. We think the approach for asymptomatic CBDS patients with gallstone can be affected by our results.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Fecal incontinence is a challenging condition in that it exerts various psychosocial impacts on daily life. Different treatment modalities have been suggested for fecal incontinence. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback therapy in combination with surgery in the management of fecal incontinence. The present randomized controlled trial was performed on 27 women with a complaint of fecal incontinence because of delivery trauma. The patients underwent sphincteroplasty and levatorplasty via the same method by 2 colorectal surgeons. In Group I, biofeedback therapy was performed 3 months before and 6 months after the surgery; in Group II, biofeedback therapy was applied only 6 months after the surgery; and in Group III, only surgical management was performed. The results revealed a significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative Wexner scores of incontinence in all the 3 groups. Additionally, the difference between the preoperative and postoperative scores was significant only in Group I and Group III, but not in Group II. The reduction in the Wexner score was significantly less in Group III. However, no significant difference was observed between the 3 groups concerning the mean difference of preoperative and postoperative manometry. The present study revealed no significant role for biofeedback therapy alone in the improvement of manometric evaluation. However, the Wexner score, which is an indicator of patient satisfaction, increased with biofeedback therapy following sphincteroplasty. In general, surgical treatment is now reserved for selected patients with fecal incontinence and has recently been developed with biofeedback therapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER IRCT201206039936N1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ulcerative Colitis (UC) follows a natural clinical course of relapses and remissions. The aim of this study was to construct a risk-scoring formula in order to enable predicting relapses in patients with UC. METHODS From October 2012 to October 2013, 157 patients from Shiraz, southern Iran who were diagnosed with UC and in remission were enrolled. At 3-month intervals, multiple risk factors of hemoglobin, complete blood counts, serum iron and albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and faecal calprotectin levels, sex, age, cigarette smoking, positive family history of inflammatory bowel diseases, past history of appendectomy, extra-intestinal accompanying diseases, extent of disease at the beginning of study, number of previous relapses, duration of disease and duration of remission before the study were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were applied to fit the final model. The new risk-scoring system accuracy was assessed using receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Seventy four patients (48.1%) experienced a relapse. Multivariate analysis revealed that relapses could significantly be predicted by the level of fecal calprotectin (OR=8.1), age (OR=9.2), the Seo activity index (OR=52.7), and the number of previous relapses (OR=4.2). The risk scoring formula was developed using the regression coefficient values of the aforementioned variables. CONCLUSION Four predictor variables were significant in the final model and were used in our risk-scoring formula. It is recommended that patients who achieve high scores are diligently observed, treated, and followed up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to compare the rate of recurrence and occurrence of complications in colorectal cancer patients after two kinds of laparoscopy and laparotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A followup study was carried out among 358 patients who suffered from colorectal cancer from 20122014. The data were gathered from colorectal research center in Shiraz, Shahid Faghihi hospital, and analyzed using the chisquare test, logistic regression, and multinomial regression. RESULTS The average age of these patients was 56.3±14.6, 55.0% being men. Moreover, 57.8% of them underwent laparoscopy surgery and 42.2% of the patients underwent laparotomysurgery and the conversion rate was 58.0% which ultimately was put under the category of laparotomy surgery. After biennial median followup, differences in the occurrence of complications such as bleeding (hemorrhage), fever, intestine blockage and wound infection in these two kinds of surgery werestatistically significant (P<0.05). However, the rate of recurrence and the patients' ultimate status (alive without disease, alive with disease, and death) did not significantly differ between these two surgery groups. CONCLUSIONS Post operation complications were laparoscopy surgery were less than those in laparotomy. However, the outcomes such as patients' ultimate status and recurrence were similar between the two groups.

Abstract
Background: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a newly developed method of performing cholecystectomy and has been increasingly used. The aim of this study is to see if SILC has any advantages over conventional (three-port) laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 52 patients who underwent SILC (group A) during the period from May 2011 to March 2013 were compared with 62 patients who underwent CLC (group B) at two centers affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Shiraz, Iran. Data were gathered on operation time, pre- and postoperative complications, patients’ postoperative pain, pain reliever use, duration of hospital stay, and return to work, and these data were compared using SPSS software version 16. Results: The mean age of patients was 38.01 ± 13.24 in group A and 44.82 ± 15.11 in group B. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.97 ± 4.78 and 26.22 ± 4.67 in groups A and B, respectively. The mean operation time was 76.4 ± 29.0 min in group A and 72.9 ± 24.1 min in group B (P = 0.496). Preoperative complications were 3.8% in group A and 0 in group B (P = 0.206). Postoperative complications were 17.3% in group A and 11.3% in group B (P = 0.423). The mean for early postoperative pain revealed no significant difference (P = 0.814), but the mean pain on discharge was significantly higher in group A patients (P = 0.034). Regarding the mean admission time and return to normal activity, we found no significant differences. Conclusion: SILC does not have any special advantages over CLC with regard to surgical outcomes, but it can be a safe alternative to CLC, especially in patients concerned about cosmoses.
