AimThe impact of different circular stapler platforms on the risk of anastomotic leakage following elective left colectomy and high anterior resection remains poorly defined. We compared the risk of anastomotic leakage across commonly used …

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic discoid resection represents a conservative surgical alternative to segmental resection in the treatment of rectal deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This technique allows excision of infiltrative lesions while …

AimLiterature comparing total proctocolectomy with permanent end ileostomy (TPC-EI) and IPAA in patients with UC is sparse. We aimed to (a) elucidate reasons for non-restorative surgery in ulcerative colitis (UC), (b) describe the incidence…

AIM: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) may involve the rectum or colon and is associated with pain, gastrointestinal dysfunction and reduced quality of life (QoL). While hormonal treatment may be effective, surgical intervention includi…

INTRODUCTION: Patients requiring ileoanal pouch (IPAA) are often women of reproductive age. Outcomes in pouch patients with endometriosis have not been described. This study aimed to assess the association of endometriosis on pelvic pouch f…

AimAlteration of bowel function after delayed coloanal anastomosis (DCAA) might be a limitation to its utilization. Our aim was to assess the long-term bowel function of DCAA in a large multicentric cohort.MethodAll patients who underwent D…

AIM: The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and its long-term evolution following colorectal segmental resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and identify any associated ri…

AimTo compare current UK surgical practice against evidence-based anastomotic evaluation techniques prior to ileostomy closure.MethodsAn online survey was distributed to UK consultant colorectal surgeons with Association of Coloproctology o…

AIM: An estimated 5%-25% of women with endometriosis have colorectal involvement. Colorectal resection is the most suitable surgical management for cases with large bowel infiltration. However, this method is also associated with the highes…

AIM: The aim was to compare postoperative complications in patients undergoing the excision of a rectal endometriotic nodule over 3 cm by a robotic-assisted versus a conventional laparoscopic approach. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective…

This video vignette demonstrates a technique utilizing the natural orifice at the opened vaginal vault during a total laparoscopic hysterectomy to opportunistically deliver the rectosigmoid colon and complete low anterior resection, in this…

AimAno-rectovaginal fistulas (ARVF) are challenging for the surgeon. Most of the series mix aetiologies, leading to confusion with respect to the conclusion. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with the success of ARV…
