Transanal approach after preoperative imatinib treatment of a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors with external anal sphincter invasion: A case report

Laparoscopic surgical approaches for various locations of gastrointestinal stromal tumours

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are tumours that originate from mesenchymal tissue, are predominantly located in the stomach, and typically do not metastasize to the lymph nodes. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment modality for GISTs. Historically, open surgery was the predominant approach; however, advancements in medical technology have led to laparoscopic surgery becoming the standard practice. Compared with traditional open surgical techniques, laparoscopic surgery is less invasive and facilitates more rapid postoperative recovery. Given that GISTs can arise at any location within the gastrointestinal tract, the specific surgical methods employed vary according to both the tumour's anatomical site and its growth characteristics. The aim of this review is to examine laparoscopic surgical strategies for managing GISTs across different regions of the gastrointestinal tract by synthesizing recent research trends and relevant evidence-based medical literature.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Resection With the Transanal Approach for Massive Rectal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report

Rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are often asymptomatic and may be detected as giant tumors. This may require highly invasive surgery for radical resection. Here, we describe a 74-year-old man with a locally advanced non-metastatic GIST in the right anterolateral wall of the lower rectum. The tumor was giant (128 × 93 mm), and invasion into adjacent organs (right seminal vesicle and prostate gland) was suspected. Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with imatinib reduced the tumor size, it was still giant, 80 mm in diameter. Therefore, we performed super-low anterior resection using a robot-assisted laparoscopic approach with the transanal approach. The bi-directional approach enabled safe and precise surgery, is expected to increase the rate of anorectal preservation as well as R0 resection, and may prevent a decline in quality of life.

Translation and Expression of Professional Terms of Public Emergencies in External Reports

In order to better grasp the expression and translation methods of professional terms in the process of external reporting of public emergencies and grasp the characteristics and elements of the translation of publicity events, this study takes public emergencies as the research object and focuses on the application of English and Chinese professional terms and translation strategies in the process of external reporting. Therefore, based on the in-depth analysis of the news reporting framework of public health emergencies, this paper deeply summarizes the application skills of professional terms in publicity texts, so as to provide a certain reference for further improving the translator’s ability to control the means of discourse cohesion and the level of discourse control of Chinese-English professional terms in the translation of public health events.
