Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with mucinous rectal carcinoma tend to present in advanced stage with a poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the effect of neoadjuvant radiation therapy on outcomes of patients with stage II and III mucinous rectal carcinomas using data from the National Cancer Database. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospective national databases. SETTING National Cancer Database between 2004 and 2019. PATIENTS Patients with mucinous rectal carcinoma. INTERVENTION Patients who did or did not receive neoadjuvant radiation therapy were matched using the nearest-neighbor propensity score method for age, clinical stage, neoadjuvant systemic treatment, and surgery type. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Main outcomes of the study were numbers of total harvested and positive lymph nodes, disease downstaging after neoadjuvant radiation, and overall survival. Other outcomes were hospital stay, short-term mortality, and readmission. RESULTS A total of 3062 patients (63.5% men) with stage II and III mucinous rectal carcinoma were included, 2378 of whom (77.7%) received neoadjuvant radiation therapy. After 2:1 propensity score matching, 143 patients in the no neoadjuvant group were matched to 286 patients in the neoadjuvant group. The mean overall survival was similar (77.3 vs 81.9 months; p = 0.316). Patients who received neoadjuvant radiation therapy were less often diagnosed with pathologic T3 and 4 disease (72.3% vs 81.3%, p = 0.013) and more often had pathologic stage 0 and 1 disease (16.4% vs 11.2%, p = 0.001), yet with a higher stage III disease (49.7% vs 37.1%, p = 0.001). Neoadjuvant radiation was associated with fewer examined lymph nodes (median: 14 vs 16, p = 0.036) and positive lymph nodes than patients who did not receive neoadjuvant radiation. Short-term mortality, readmission, hospital stay, and positive surgical margins were similar. LIMITATIONS Retrospective study and missing data on disease recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Patients with mucinous rectal carcinoma who received neoadjuvant radiation therapy had marginal downstaging of disease, fewer examined and fewer positive lymph nodes, and similar overall survival to patients who did not receive neoadjuvant radiation.

Otros resultados fueron la estancia hospitalaria, la mortalidad a corto plazo y el reingreso.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron 3.062 pacientes (63,5% hombres) con carcinoma mucinoso de recto estadio II-III, de los cuales 2.378 (77,7%) recibieron radioterapia neoadyuvante. Después de un emparejamiento por puntuación de propensión 2:1, 143 pacientes del grupo sin neoadyuvancia fueron emparejados con 286 del grupo neoadyuvante. La supervivencia global media fue similar (77,3 vs 81,9 meses; p = 0,316). A los pacientes que recibieron radiación neoadyuvante se les diagnosticó con menos frecuencia enfermedad pT3-4 (72,3% frente a 81,3%, p = 0,013) y con mayor frecuencia tenían enfermedad en estadio patológico 0-1 (16,4% frente a 11,2%, p = 0,001), aunque con una enfermedad en estadio III superior (49,7% vs 37,1%, p = 0,001). La radiación neoadyuvante se asoció con menos ganglios linfáticos examinados (mediana: 14 frente a 16, p = 0,036) y ganglios linfáticos positivos que los pacientes que no recibieron radiación neoadyuvante. La mortalidad a corto plazo, el reingreso, la estancia hospitalaria y los márgenes quirúrgicos positivos fueron similares.LIMITACIONES:Estudio retrospectivo y datos faltantes sobre recurrencia de la enfermedad.CONCLUSIONES:Los pacientes con carcinoma mucinoso de recto que recibieron radioterapia neoadyuvante tuvieron una reducción marginal de la enfermedad, menos ganglios linfáticos examinados y positivos, y una supervivencia general similar a la de los pacientes que no recibieron radiación neoadyuvante.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Implementing perioperative interventions such as enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) has improved short-term outcomes and minimized length of stay. Preliminary evidence suggests that adherence to the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol may also enhance 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) in colorectal cancer surgery. This retrospective study presents long-term survival outcomes and disease recurrence from a high-volume, single-center practice. METHODS All patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma and undergoing elective minimally invasive surgery (MIS) were retrospectively reviewed between February 2005 and April 2018. Relevant data were extracted from Mayo electronic records and securely stored in a database. Short-term morbidity and long-term oncological outcomes were compared between patients enrolled in ERP and those who received non-enhanced care. RESULTS Overall, 600 rectal cancer patients underwent MIS, of whom 320 (53.3%) were treated according to the ERP and 280 (46.7%) received non-enhanced care. ERP was associated with a decrease in length of stay (3 vs. 5 days; p < 0.001) and less overall complications (34.7 vs. 54.3%; p < 0.001). The ERP group did not show an improvement in overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS) compared with non-enhanced care on multivariable (non-ERP vs. ERP OS: hazard ratio [HR] 1.268, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.852-1.887; DFS: HR 1.050, 95% CI 0.674-1.635) analysis. CONCLUSION ERP was found to be associated with a reduction in short-term morbidity, with no impact on long-term oncological outcomes, such as OS, CSS, and DFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Delphi consensus identified 8 symptoms and 8 consequences as the highest priorities for defining low anterior resection syndrome. OBJECTIVE To describe an exploratory scoring instrument correlating the Delphi consensus on low anterior resection syndrome with functional and quality-of-life scores following intersphincteric resection for ultralow rectal cancer. DESIGN This was a prospective pilot study. In accordance with the Wexner incontinence score, 5 frequency responses ranging from never (score 0) to always (score 4) were used to measure the severity of symptom- and consequence-specific variables. SETTINGS Colorectal surgery referral center. PATIENTS Among 161 eligible patients, 137 participants (85%) completed an electronic self-assessment survey regarding function and quality of life at scheduled follow-up, including 3 to 6, 12, and ≥24 months after ileostomy reversal. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Outcome measures included patient-reported severity of the identified priorities, and their correlation with condition-specific quality of life. RESULTS The most frequent symptom and consequence were "emptying difficulties" and "dissatisfaction with the bowels," respectively. Aside from "emptying difficulties," the proportions of negative symptom domains increased after reversal. In particular, neither the frequency responses nor the severity scores of "emptying difficulties" differed between groups. The percentages of "always" selection for consequence domains improved at 12-month follow-up, whereas a higher rate was observed at 24 months, except for "toilet dependence" and "dissatisfaction with the bowels." We found significant improvements in the summary score of the Fecal Incontinence Quality-of-Life Scale ( p = 0.04) and our exploratory instrument ( p = 0.009) but not in functional scores measured by traditional questionnaires. Furthermore, the condition-specific quality of life strongly correlated with the Delphi consensus severity score ( rs = -0.73). LIMITATIONS Single-institution data and limited sample size. CONCLUSIONS The important priorities identified by the Delphi consensus might enable a comprehensive overview and a better assessment of low anterior resection syndrome after intersphincteric resection. See Video Abstract . EVALE LA GRAVEDAD DEL SNDROME DE RESECCIN ANTERIOR BAJA DESPUS DE LA RESECCIN INTERESFINTRICA PARA EL CNCER DE RECTO ULTRABAJO UN ESTUDIO PILOTO QUE UTILIZA UN INSTRUMENTO EXPLORATORIO ANTECEDENTES:El consenso Delphi identificó ocho síntomas y ocho consecuencias como las máximas prioridades para definir el síndrome de resección anterior baja.OBJETIVO:Describir un instrumento de puntuación exploratorio que correlaciona el consenso Delphi sobre el síndrome de resección anterior baja con puntuaciones funcionales y de calidad de vida después de la resección interesfinteriana para el cáncer de recto ultrabajo.DISEÑO:Este fue un estudio piloto prospectivo. De acuerdo con la puntuación de incontinencia de Wexner, se utilizaron cinco respuestas de frecuencia que van desde nunca (puntuación 0) hasta siempre (puntuación 4) para medir la gravedad de las variables específicas de los síntomas y las consecuencias.AJUSTES:Centro de referencia de cirugía colorrectal.PACIENTES:Entre 161 pacientes elegibles, 137 (85%) participantes completaron una encuesta electrónica de autoevaluación sobre la función y la calidad de vida en el seguimiento programado, incluidos 3 a 6, 12 y ≥ 24 meses después de la reversión de la ileostomía.MEDIDAS PRINCIPALES DE RESULTADO:Las medidas de resultado incluyeron la gravedad de estas prioridades informada por los pacientes, así como su correlación con la calidad de vida específica de la afección.RESULTADOS:El síntoma y la consecuencia más frecuentes fueron "dificultades para vaciar" e "insatisfacción con las deposiciones", respectivamente. Aparte de las "dificultades de vaciado", las proporciones de dominios de síntomas negativos aumentaron después de la reversión. En particular, tanto las respuestas de frecuencia como las puntuaciones de gravedad de las "dificultades para vaciar" no difirieron entre los grupos. Los porcentajes de "opción siempre" para los dominios de consecuencias mejoraron a los 12 meses de seguimiento, mientras que se observó una tasa más alta a los 24 meses después, excepto para "dependencia del baño" e "insatisfacción con los intestinos". Encontramos mejoras significativas en la puntuación resumida de la Escala de calidad de vida de incontinencia fecal ( p = 0,04) y nuestro instrumento exploratorio ( p = 0,009), pero no en las puntuaciones funcionales medidas con los cuestionarios tradicionales. Además, la calidad de vida específica de la condición se correlacionó fuertemente con la puntuación de gravedad del consenso Delphi (rs = -0,73).LIMITACIONES:Datos de una sola institución y tamaño de muestra limitado.CONCLUSIONES:Las importantes prioridades identificadas por el consenso Delphi podrían permitir una visión global y una mejor evaluación del síndrome de resección anterior baja después de la resección interesfintérica.

Abstract
Robotic resection is widely used to treat colorectal cancer. Although the novel natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) results in less trauma, its safety and effectiveness are relatively unknown. In the present study, we used propensity score matching to compare the effectiveness and safety of NOSES and robotic resection for treating colorectal cancer. Present retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent robotic colon and rectal cancer surgery between January 2016 and December 2019 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The intraoperative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative recovery, postoperative complications, and survival status of the conventional robotic colorectal cancer resection (CRR) (78 patients) and NOSES (89 patients) groups were compared. These results showed that no significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of early postoperative complications, operation time, and the number of lymph nodes dissected. Compared with the CRR group, NOSES group had shorter postoperative exhaust time [3.06 (0.76) vs. 3.53 (0.92)], earlier eating time [4.12 (1.08) vs. 4.86 (1.73)], lesser intraoperative bleeding [51.23 (26.74) vs. 67.82 (43.44)], lesser degree of pain [80.8% vs. 55.1%], and shorter length of hospital stay [8.73 (2.02) vs. 9.50 (3.45)]. All these parameters were statistically significant (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the 3-year overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate between both groups (P > 0.05). Collectively, robotic NOSES is a safe and effective approach for treating rectal and sigmoid colon cancers, could decrease intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications, and accelerate the speed of intestinal function recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporary ileostomy (TI) has proven effective in reducing the severity of anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery; however, some ileostomies fail to reverse over time, leading to conversion into a permanent stoma (PS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the preoperative risk factors and cumulative incidence of TI non-closure after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis after searching the Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and MEDLINE databases from their inception until November 2023. We collected all published studies on the risk factors related to TI non-closure after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer. RESULTS A total of 1610 studies were retrieved, and 13 studies were included for meta-analysis, comprising 3026 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the identified risk factors included older age (p = 0.03), especially > 65 years of age (p = 0.03), male sex (p = 0.009), American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥ 3 (p = 0.004), comorbidity (p = 0.001), and distant metastasis (p < 0.001). Body mass index, preoperative hemoglobin, preoperative albumin, preoperative carcinoma embryonic antigen, tumor location, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, smoking, history of abdominal surgery, and open surgery did not significantly change the risk of TI non-closure. CONCLUSION We identified five preoperative risk factors for TI non-closure after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer. This information enables surgeons to identify high-risk groups before surgery, inform patients about the possibility of PS in advance, and consider performing protective colostomy or Hartmann surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer induces bowel dysfunction, but the influence on urinary and sexual function is largely unknown. This cross-sectional cohort study evaluated long-term effect of anastomotic leakage on urinary and sexual function in male patients. METHODS Patients operated with anterior resection for rectal cancer in 15 Swedish hospitals 2007-2013 were identified. Anastomotic leakage and other clinical variables were retrieved from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry and medical records. Urinary and sexual dysfunction were evaluated at 4 to 11 years after surgery using the International Prostate Symptom Score, International Index of Erectile Function, and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire CR29. The effect of anastomotic leakage on average scores of urinary and sexual dysfunction was evaluated as a primary outcome, and the single items permanent urinary catheter and sexual inactivity as secondary outcomes. The association of anastomotic leakage and functional outcomes was analyzed using regression models with adjustment for confounders. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 84 months (interquartile range: 67-110), 379 out of 864 eligible men were included. Fifty-nine (16%) patients had anastomotic leakage. Urinary incontinence was more common in the leakage group, with an adjusted mean score difference measured by EORTC QLQ ColoRectal-29 of 8.69 (95% confidence interval: 0.72-16.67). The higher risks of urinary frequency, permanent urinary catheter, and sexual inactivity did not reach significance. CONCLUSION Anastomotic leakage after anterior resection had a minor negative impact on urinary and sexual function in men.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to see how accurate tumor size was at predicting T and N stages in rectal malignancies. Tumor sizes of 40 mm and greater than 40 mm were used to assess post-operative challenges in related to T1-T2 and T3-T4 stages, as well as between node N0 and node N1 and N2 patients. A total of 131 patients were treated for colorectal cancer, with 54 patients < 40 mm and 77 patients > 40 mm receiving Da Vinci colorectal surgery. Conferring to the Clavien-Dindo classification grade III, there's an increase in the percentage of tumors > 40 mm, which also impacts the percentage of intestinal obstruction, anastomotic leakage, GERD, and sepsis with a P < 0.05. A tumor size of more than 40 mm is strongly associated with advanced pT stages. Tumor size may serve in addition to clinical staging and improve the management of rectal cancer.

Abstract
Currently, there is no consensus on the position and method for temporary ileostomy in robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Herein, this study introduced the B-type sutured ileostomy, a new temporary ileostomy technique, and compared it to the traditional one to assess its efficacy and safety. Between September 2020 and December 2022 in our centre, B-type sutured ileostomy was performed on 124 patients undergoing robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer. A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database identified patients who underwent robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer with a temporary ileostomy between January 2018 and December 2022. Patients who underwent B-type sutured ileostomy (B group) were matched in a 1:1 ratio with patients who underwent traditional ileostomy (Control group) using a propensity score based on age, sex, BMI, Comorbidity, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and Prior abdominal surgery history. Surgical and postoperative outcomes, health status, and stoma closure data were analyzed for both groups. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT05915052. The B group (n = 118) shows advantages compared to the Control group (n = 118) regarding total operation time (155.98 ± 21.63 min vs 168.92 ± 21.49 min, p = 0.001), postoperative body pain (81.92 ± 4.12 vs 78.41 ± 3.02, p = 0.001) and operation time of stoma closure (46.19 ± 11.30 min vs 57.88 ± 11.08 min, p = 0.025). The two groups had no other notable differences. The B-type sutured ileostomy is a safe and feasible option in robotic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer. The B-type sutured ileostomy may offer advantages such as shorter overall surgical duration, lighter postoperative pain, and shorter second-stage ostomy incorporation surgery. However, attention should be directed towards the occurrence of stoma prolapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effect of the use of new lithotomy stirrups-2 on the pressure dispersal on lower limbs, which may lead to the prevention of well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which are the most commonly associated adverse events with laparoscopic and robot-assisted rectal surgery. METHODS A total of 30 healthy participants were included in this study. The pressure (mmHg) applied on various lower limb muscles when using conventional lithotomy stirrups-1 and new type stirrups-2 was recorded in various lithotomy positions; 1) neutral position, 2) Trendelenburg position (15°) with a 0° right inferior tilt, and 3) Trendelenburg position (15°) with a 10° right inferior tilt. Using a special sensor pad named Palm Q®, and the average values were compared between two types of stirrups. RESULTS The use of new lithotomy stirrups-2 significantly reduced the pressure applied on the lower limb muscles in various lithotomy positions compared with the use of lithotomy stirrups-1. The most pressured lower limb muscle when using both lithotomy stirrups was the central soleus muscle, which is the most common site for the development of WLCS and DVT. In addition, when using the conventional lithotomy stirrups-1, the pressure was predominantly applied to the proximal soleus muscle; however, when using lithotomy stirrups-2, the pressure was shifted to the more distal soleus muscle. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the new lithotomy stirrups-2 is useful in reducing the pressure load on leg muscles, especially on the proximal to central soleus, and may reduce the incidence of WLCS and DVT after rectal surgery performed in the lithotomy position. Further clinical studies are needed to determine whether the use of lithotomy stirrups-2 prevents these complications in various clinical settings.

Abstract
Although the short-term outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for rectal cancer are well known, the long-term oncologic outcomes of RALS compared with those of conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) are not clear. This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of RALS and CLS for rectal cancer using propensity score matching. This retrospective study included 185 patients with stage I-III rectal cancer who underwent radical surgery at our institute between 2010 and 2019. Propensity score analyses were performed with 3-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) as the primary endpoints. After case matching, the 3-year OS and 3-year RFS rates were 86.5% and 77.9% in the CLS group and 98.4% and 88.5% in the RALS group, respectively. Although there were no significant differences in OS (p = 0.195) or RFS (p = 0.518) between the groups, the RALS group had slightly better OS and RFS rates. 3-year cumulative (Cum) local recurrence (LR) and 3-year Cum distant metastasis (DM) were 9.7% and 8.7% in the CLS group and 4.5% and 10.8% in the RALS group, respectively. There were no significant differences in Cum-LR (p = 0.225) or Cum-DM (p = 0.318) between the groups. RALS is a reasonable surgical treatment option for patients with rectal cancer, with long-term outcomes similar to those of CLS in such patients.

Abstract
Rectal cancer surgery represents challenges due to its location. To overcome them and minimize the risk of anastomosis-related complications, some technical maneuvers or even a diverting ileostomy may be required. One of these technical steps is the mobilization of the splenic flexure (SFM), especially in medium/low rectal cancer. High-tie vascular ligation may be another one. However, the need of these maneuvers may be controversial, as especially SFM may be time-consuming and increase the risk of iatrogenic. The objective is to present the short- and long-term outcomes of a low-tie ligation combined with no SFM in robotic low anterior resection (LAR) for mid- and low rectal cancer as a standardized technique. A retrospective observational single-cohort study was carried out at Reina Sofia University Hospital, Cordoba, Spain. 221 robotic rectal resections between Jul-18th-2018 and Jan-12th-2023 were initially considered. After case selection, 80 consecutive robotic LAR performed by a single surgeon were included. STROBE checklist assessed the methodological quality. Histopathological, morbidity and oncological outcomes were assessed. Anastomotic stricture occurrence and distance to anal verge were evaluated after LAR by rectosigmoidoscopy. Variables related to the ileostomy closure such as time to closure, post-operative complications or hospital stay were also considered. The majority of patients (81.2%) presented a mid-rectal cancer and the rest, lower location (18.8%). All patients had adequate perfusion of the anastomotic stump assessed by indocyanine green. Complete total mesorectal excision was performed in 98.8% of the patients with a lymph node ratio < 0.2 in 91.3%. The anastomotic leakage rate was 5%. One patient (1.5%) presented local recurrence. Anastomosis stricture occurred in 7.5% of the patients. The limitations were small cohort and retrospective design. The non-mobilization of the splenic flexure with a low-tie ligation in robotic LAR is a feasible and safe procedure that does not affect oncological outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery, defined as ligation before the takeoff of the left colic artery, is often described as the gold standard in low left-sided colon and rectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study is to quantify the rate of ligation at the described level at a single academic center. Additionally, we examined the relationship between level of ligation and cancer-related outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients ages 18 and over with low left-sided colon, rectal, and anal cancers undergoing surgical resection. Radiographic evidence of high ligation was defined as ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery before the takeoff of the left colic artery. Patients with and without radiographic evidence of high ligation on CT were compared. Secondary outcomes include lymph node yield and positivity, need for adjuvant therapy, and time from surgery to adjuvant therapy. RESULTS 169 patients (54% male) were included in the study. 61.5% of operative reports described high ligation of the IMA. There was radiographic evidence of high ligation in 55.6% of total patients and in 70.2% of patients where high ligation was intended. There was no significant difference in surgeon experience, surgical procedure, or surgical approach. There was no difference in lymph node yield, time to adjuvant chemotherapy, or recurrence rates. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates good technical success rate of high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery but shows no difference in short-term patient-measured outcomes between high and low ligation (or successful and unsuccessful high ligation).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare outcomes of early and standard closure of diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) after proctectomy and determine risk factors for anastomotic leak (AL) and complications. BACKGROUND Formation of DLI has been a routine practice after proctectomy to decrease the incidence and potential adverse sequela of AL. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared outcomes of early versus standard closure of DLI after proctectomy. Main outcome measures were postoperative complications, AL, ileus, surgical site infection, reoperation, readmission, and hospital stay following DLI closure. RESULTS Eleven RCTs (932 patients; 57% male) were included. Early closure group included 474 patients and standard closure 458 patients. Early closure was associated with higher odds of AL [odds ratio (OR): 2.315, P =0.013] and similar odds of complications (OR: 1.103, P =0.667), ileus (OR: 1.307, P =0.438), surgical site infection (OR: 1.668, P =0.079), reoperation (OR: 1.896, P =0.062), and readmission (OR: 3.431, P =0.206). Hospital stay was similar (weighted mean difference: 1.054, P =0.237). Early closure had higher odds of AL than standard closure when early closure was done ≤2 weeks (OR: 2.12, P =0.047) but not within 3 to 4 weeks (OR: 2.98, P =0.107). Factors significantly associated with complications after early closure were diabetes mellitus, smoking, and closure of DLI ≤2 weeks, whereas factors associated with AL were ≥ American Society of Anesthesiologists II classification and diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS Early closure of DLI after proctectomy has a higher risk of AL, particularly within 2 weeks of DLI formation. On the basis of this study, routine early ileostomy closure cannot be recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Anastomotic leak following colorectal anastomosis adversely impacts short-term, oncologic, and quality-of-life outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of omental pedicled flap (OPF) on anastomotic leak among patients undergoing low anastomotic resection (LAR) for rectal cancer using a multi-institutional database. METHODS Adult rectal cancer patients in the US Rectal Cancer Consortium, who underwent a LAR for stage I-III rectal cancer with or without an OPF were included. Patients with missing data for surgery type and OPF use were excluded from the analysis. The primary outcome was the development of anastomotic leaks. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association. RESULTS A total of 853 patients met the inclusion criteria and OPF was used in 106 (12.4%) patients. There was no difference in age, sex, or tumor stage of patients who underwent OPF versus those who did not. OPF use was not associated with an anastomotic leak (p = 0.82), or operative blood loss (p = 0.54) but was associated with an increase in the operative duration [β = 21.42 (95% confidence interval = 1.16, 41.67) p = 0.04]. CONCLUSIONS Among patients undergoing LAR for rectal cancer, OPF use was associated with an increase in operative duration without any impact on the rate of anastomotic leak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic exenterations and cytoreduction are individually morbid procedures with oncological validity. The combination of these simultaneously in patients with rectal cancers has not been evaluated. The present study aimed to assess the surgical and survival outcomes of the combined procedure. METHODS Retrospective, single-centre analysis of consecutive patients that underwent pelvic exenterations and cytoreductions for advanced or recurrent rectal cancers with peritoneal metastasis between 2013 and 2022. The primary outcome measure for safety was major complications (≥Grade IIIA). The threshold for considering the procedure unsafe was set at 50% for the upper confidence limit of major morbidity. Overall and recurrence-free survival were also assessed. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients underwent the combined procedure that included 24 total pelvic and 15 posterior pelvic exenterations. The median age of the cohort was 35 years, 18 (46.2%) had signet ring cell cancers, and eight patients (21%) had extraperitoneal disease as well. The median PCI was 4 and CC-0 was achieved in 38 patients (97.4%). Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was delivered in 15 patients, and four had placement of an intraperitoneal chemo port. Major complications were experienced by 7 patients (18%; 95% confidence interval: 7.5%-33.5%). Median recurrence-free and overall survivals were 9 and 17 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Combined pelvic exenterations and cytoreductions are safe operations in terms of morbidity. Survival, however, remains poor for this group of patients despite aggressive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Here, we describe the precise surgical technique for a novel procedure involving 2-team transanal total mesorectal excision with en bloc lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) dissection combined with resection of the involved main internal iliac vessels and pelvic plexus. METHODS From September 2020 to May 2023, 4 patients underwent the procedure at our hospital. RESULTS The operation time and blood loss were 272 to 412 minutes and 10 to 124 mL, respectively. No patients required conversion to open surgery or exhibited Clavien-Dindo grade III or worse postoperative complications, although 2 developed grade II urinary dysfunction. All surgical margins were negative. CONCLUSIONS Our novel 2-team method can facilitate safe and satisfactory surgery, even for highly advanced rectal cancer. The transanal approach offers excellent visibility and operability, even during LPLN and adjacent structure dissection. Furthermore, initial dissection of the distal branches of the iliac vessels prevents excessive lymphatic tissue congestion, facilitating easier, and clearer dissection.

Abstract
Undergoing another surgery after a previous abdominal procedure can sometimes result in significant abdominal adhesions. We present a case of robot-assisted low anterior resection in a patient with rectal cancer who had a urinary reservoir. A 65-year-old male patient underwent robot-assisted total bladder resection and creation of a urinary reservoir for bladder cancer in 2013. He presented with melena. Thus, the findings revealed advanced low rectal cancer. The robot-assisted low anterior resection was performed in 2022. Extensive adhesions were observed in the pelvic space. The indocyanine green function was appropriately used, and the robotic surgery was completed without injury to the urinary reservoir or major complications. The surgical time was 510 min, and the blood loss volume was 15 mL. The patient had been recurrence free for 12 months following the surgery. Robot-assisted surgery can be beneficial for patients with rectal cancer with significant pelvic adhesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoluminal surgery is increasingly recognized as a mode of treatment for colorectal neoplasms with the latest robotic single port platform Da Vinci-SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale) facilitating submucosal dissection of benign rectal neoplasm. METHOD In this study, we present our initial experience with endorobotic submucosal dissection in the management of benign rectal neoplasms using the Da Vinci-SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale) between 2020 and 2021. The primary endpoint was the successful completion of submucosal dissection. RESULTS During the study period, 10 patients underwent endorobotic submucosal dissection for benign rectal neoplasms. The median age of the patients was 68 (range: 59-78) years, and the mean BMI was 29.38 (range: 22.9-38.5). The mean size of the lesion was 42.3 mm (range: 20-65 mm) and was located 7.3 cm (mean) from the anal verge (range: 2-10 cm). The mean operative time was 91.3 minutes (range: 57-137 minutes). All 10 dissections were completed successfully en bloc. There were no intraoperative complications or mortality. All patients were discharged on the same day and commenced on a normal diet. Late bleeding was observed in one patient receiving anticoagulation, and one patient had urinary retention. Pathology revealed two adenocarcinomas, six tubulovillous adenomas, one tubular adenoma, and one sessile serrated adenoma. There was no recurrence in all other patients during the median follow-up of 6 months (range: 4-16 months). CONCLUSIONS Endorobotic submucosal dissection using a single-port robotic platform is safe and feasible for benign rectal mucosal neoplasms. The semiflexible platform offers an alternative to endoscopic submucosal dissection with favourable outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) is a prognostic factor in rectal cancer. There are two types: EMVI detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (mr-EMVI) and EMVI detected by pathology (p-EMVI). They have been separately evaluated, but they have not yet been concurrently evaluated. We therefore evaluate both mr-EMVI and p-EMVI in rectal cancer at the same time and clarify their association with prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Included were the 186 consecutive patients who underwent complete radical resection of tumors ≤ stage III at Wakayama Medical University Hospital, Japan, between 2010 and 2018. All underwent preoperative MRI examination, and were reassessed for EMVI by a radiologist. Surgically resected specimens were then reassessed for EMVI by a pathologist. We assessed the correlation between positivity of mr-EMVI and p-EMVI and prognosis, and the clinicopathological background behind them. RESULTS Patients with double negativity for mr-EMVI and p-EMVI had better prognosis than patients with mr-EMVI or p-EMVI positivity (p < 0.0001). Positivity for mr-EMVI or p-EMVI was a poor independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Combined analysis of mr-EMVI and p-EMVI may enable prediction of postoperative prognosis of rectal cancer. Patients with double negativity of mr-EMVI and p-EMVI had better prognosis than patients with some form of positivity. Stated differently, patients with positivity of mr-EMVI, p-EMVI, or both had a poorer prognosis than those with double negativity. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may improve poor prognosis. Combined evaluation of mr-EMVI and p-EMVI may be used to predict clinical outcomes and may be an effective prognostic predictor of rectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have malignant potential, and lymph node (LN) or distant metastases can occur; however, treatment of NETs 1-2 cm in size is controversial. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify predictive factors for LN metastasis and prognostic factors for recurrence of rectal NETs, especially tumors 1‒2 cm in size. METHODS Between October 2004 and November 2020, 453 patients underwent endoscopic or surgical treatment for rectal NETs in Seoul National University Hospital. The data on these patients were prospectively collected in our database and reviewed retrospectively. In cases of local excision, we evaluated LN metastasis with radiologic imaging, including computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging before treatment and during the follow-up periods. RESULTS LN metastasis was observed in 40 patients (8.8%). A higher rate of LN metastasis was observed in larger-sized tumors, advanced T stage, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion (PNI), and high tumor grade. In multivariable analysis, the significant risk factors for LN metastasis were tumor size (1 ≤ size < 2 cm: hazard ratio [HR] 64.07; size ≥2 cm: HR 102.37, p < 0.001) and tumor grade (G2: HR 3.63, p = 0.034; G3: HR 5.09, p = 0.044). In multivariable analysis for tumors 1-2 cm in size, the risk factor for LN metastasis was tumor grade (G2: HR 6.34, p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS Tumor grade and size are important predictive factors for LN metastasis. In NETs 2 cm in size, tumor grade is also important for LN metastasis, and radical resection should be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A circumferential resection margin (CRM) is an independent risk factor for local recurrence, distant metastasis, and poor overall survival of rectal cancer. In this study, we developed and validated a radiomics prediction model to predict perioperative surgical margins in patients with middle and low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant treatment and for decisions about treatment plans for patients. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 275 patients from center 1(training cohort) and 120 patients from center 2(verification cohort) with rectal cancer diagnosed at two centers from July 2020 to July 2022 who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and had their CRM status confirmed by preoperative high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Radiomics signatures were extracted and screened from MRI images and a radiomics signature was built by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model, which was combined with clinical signatures to construct a nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and calibration curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. RESULTS In our research, the combined model has the best performance. In the training group, the radiomics model based on high-spatial-resolution T2-weighted imaging (HR-T2WI), clinical model and combined model demonstrated an AUC of 0.819 (0.802-0.833), 0.843 (0.822-0.861), and 0.910 (0.880-0.940), respectively. In the validation group, they demonstrated an AUC of 0.745 (0.715-0.788), 0.827 (0.798-0.850), and 0.848 (0.779-0.917), respectively. The calibration curve confirmed the clinical applicability of the model. CONCLUSIONS The individualized prediction model established by combining radiomics signatures and clinical signatures can efficiently and objectively predict perioperative margin invasion in patients with middle and low rectal cancer.

Abstract
Radiation-induced rectovaginal fistula (RI-RVF) with associated rectal stricture represents a challenging problem in management. The aim of the present technical note is to describe a surgical technique aimed at minimizing disease recurrence by avoiding radiated tissue in the reconstruction: 1. Tuttle longitudinal incision of posterior vaginal wall with sharp excision of proximally located fistula; 2. Resection of strictured rectum via a combined transvaginal/laparotomy access, reconstruction with Turnbull-Cutait colon pull-through, and delayed handsewn coloanal anastomosis with loop ileostomy; 3. Bridge closure of the posterior vaginal wall by the interposition of a Singapore flap. This approach resulted in a favorable outcome at the 1-year follow-up in one patient with a medical history of gynecological carcinoma status after hystero-salpingo-oophorectomy followed by adjuvant radiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the incidence of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) has remarkably increased due to the widespread use of screening gastrointestinal endoscopy. Currently, the most common treatments are surgery and endoscopic resection. Compared to surgery, endoscopic resection possesses a higher risk of resection margin residues for the treatment of GI-NETs. METHODS A total of 315 patients who underwent surgery or endoscopic resection for GI-NETs were included. We analyzed their resection modality (surgery, ESD, EMR), margin status, Preoperative marking and Prognosis. RESULTS Among 315 patients included, 175 cases underwent endoscopic resection and 140 cases underwent surgical treatment. A total of 43 (43/175, 24.57%) and 10 (10/140, 7.14%) patients exhibited positive resection margins after endoscopic resection and surgery, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis suggested that no preoperative marking and endoscopic treatment methods were risk factors for resection margin residues. Among the patients with positive margin residues after endoscopic resection, 5 patients underwent the radical surgical resection and 1 patient underwent additional ESD resection. The remaining 37 patients had no recurrence during a median follow-up of 36 months. CONCLUSIONS Compared with surgery, endoscopic therapy has a higher margin residual rate. During endoscopic resection, preoperative marking may reduce the rate of lateral margin residues, and endoscopic submucosal dissection may be preferred than endoscopic mucosal resection. Periodical follow-up may be an alternative method for patients with positive margin residues after endoscopic resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the surgical outcomes of para-aortic lymph node (PALN) dissection in patients with colorectal cancer and assessed the prognostic factors related to the survival. METHODS This single-center retrospective study included 31 patients with synchronous or metachronous PALN metastasis from colorectal cancer who underwent PALN dissection between January 2006 and December 2018. RESULTS Twenty-one patients had synchronous PALN metastasis, and 10 had metachronous PALN metastasis. Seven patients had either simultaneous distant metastasis or a history of distant metastasis other than PALN metastasis at the time of PALN dissection. Eighteen patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival rates were 54.2 and 17.2%, respectively. A multivariable analysis revealed that rectal cancer, metachronous PALN metastasis, and three or more pathological PALN metastases were significantly poor prognostic factors for the recurrence-free survival. Among patients with rectal cancer, lower rectal cancer and lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis were poor prognostic factors for the overall survival. CONCLUSION Curative PALN dissection for PALN metastasis from colorectal cancer is feasible with favorable long-term outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach, including surgery and chemotherapy, is needed for colorectal cancer with PALN metastasis to improve the long-term outcomes.

Abstract
In cases of rectal invasion by locally invasive prostate cancer (LAPC) leading to severe pain or bleeding, total pelvic exenteration (TPE) is necessary. Here, we present two cases of successful minimally invasive TPE: one performed laparoscopically for local recurrence with rectal bleeding after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, and another done robotically for LAPC (clinical T4N1M0) accompanied by rectal bleeding. Medical treatments were ineffective in the latter case, and the tumor occupied a significant portion of the pelvis. We adopted a simultaneous transperineal approach and performed intracorporeal ileal conduit formation. Our cases highlight the challenging nature of minimally invasive TPE for symptomatic LAPC. Despite its complexity, these techniques prove viable and valuable in managing LAPC-related symptoms, emphasizing their practical utility in clinical settings.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Over the past decades, the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer has evolved dramatically due to improvements in diagnostic imaging, surgical technique, and the addition of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Fractionation of neoadjuvant radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy remains the subject of discussion and the question multiple recent trials have aimed to answer. In light of recent data and concern for locoregional recurrence, our institution favors long-course chemoradiation in most cases, especially in low-lying primaries, threatened circumferential resection margin, consideration of non-operative management, or if the surgeon has concerns for resectability. Exceptions would include cases of oligometastatic disease planned for metastasectomy in which curative-intent treatment was pursued or if additional factors required a reduction in treatment time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients experience anorectal dysfunction after rectal surgery, which is known as low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). Robotic systems have many technical advantages that may be suitable for functional preservation after low rectal resection. Thus, the study aimed to explore whether robotic surgery can reduce the incidence and severity of LARS. METHODS Patients undergoing minimally invasive sphincter-sparing surgery for low rectal cancer were enrolled between January 2015 and December 2020. The patients were divided into robotic or laparoscopic groups. The LARS survey was conducted at 6, 12 and 18 months postoperatively. Major LARS scores were analysed as the primary endpoint. In order to reduce confounding factors, one-to-two propensity score matches were used. RESULTS In total, 342 patients were enrolled in the study. At 18 months postoperatively, the incidence of LARS was 68.7% (235/342); minor LARS was identified in 112/342 patients (32.7%), and major LARS in 123/342 (36.0%). After matching, the robotic group included 74 patients, and the laparoscopic group included 148 patients. The incidence of major LARS in the robotic group was significantly lower than that in the laparoscopic group at 6, 12, and 18 months after surgery. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, tumour location, laparoscopic surgery, intersphincteric resection, neoadjuvant therapy, and anastomotic leakage were independent risk factors for major LARS after minimally invasive sphincter-sparing surgery for low rectal cancer. Furthermore, a major LARS prediction model was constructed. Results of model evaluation showed that the nomogram had good prediction accuracy and efficiency. CONCLUSIONS Patients with low rectal cancer may benefit from robotic surgery to reduce the incidence and severity of LARS. Our nomogram could aid surgeons in setting an individualized treatment program for low rectal cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis seeks to evaluate the impact of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal cancers on surgical complications and surgical pathology when compared with standard long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCRT). BACKGROUND The oncological benefits of TNT are well published in previous meta-analyses, but there is little synthesized information on how it affects surgical outcomes. A recent study has suggested an increase in local recurrence and higher rates of breached total mesorectal excision (TME) plane in TNT patients. METHODS This study conformed to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A search was performed in Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane databases, EMBASE and CINAHL to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing outcomes between TNT and LCRT. Meta-analyses of pooled proportions between TNT and LCRT were performed, comparing primary outcomes of surgical mortality, morbidity and all reported complications; surgical-pathology differences, namely mesorectal quality, R0 resection rates, circumferential resection margin positive rates, and sphincter preservation rates. Death and progression of disease during neoadjuvant treatment period was also compared. Risk of bias of RCTs was performed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool by 2 independent reviewers. RESULTS A total of 3185 patients with rectal cancer from 11 RCTs were included in the analysis: 1607 received TNT and 1578 received LCRT, of which 1422 (TNT arm) and 1391 (LCRT arm) underwent surgical resection with curative intent. There was no significant difference in mortality [risk ratio (RR)=0.86, 95% CI: 0.13-5.52, P =0.88, I2 =52%] or major complications (RR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.86-1.26, P =0.70, I2 =0%) between TNT and LCRT. There was a significantly higher risk of breached TME in TNT group on pooled analysis (RR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.03-12.16, P =0.03, I2 =0%), and on subgroup analysis there is higher risk of breached TME in those receiving extended duration of neoadjuvant treatment (>17 weeks from start of treatment to surgery) when compared with LCRT (RR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.06-2.44, P =0.03). No difference in R0 resection rates (RR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.66-1.10, P =0.21, I2 =15%), circumferential resection margin positive rates (RR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.65-1.16, P =0.35, I2 =10%) or sphincter preservation rates (RR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.83-1.25, P =0.88, I2 =57%) were observed. There was a significantly lower risk of progression of disease to an unresectable stage during the neoadjuvant treatment period in TNT patients (RR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.39-0.92, P =0.03, I2 =18%). On subgroup analysis, it appears to favor those receiving extended duration of neoadjuvant treatment (RR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.26-0.80, P =0.002), and those receiving induction-type chemotherapy in TNT (RR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.07-0.88, P =0.03). CONCLUSIONS TNT increases rates of breached TME which can contribute to higher local recurrence rates. TNT, however, improves systemic control by reducing early progression of disease during neoadjuvant treatment period. Further research is warranted to identify patients that will benefit from this strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with rectal cancer who underwent lateral pelvic node dissection might be at a higher risk of postoperative complications derived from technical complexity. However, little is known regarding the long-term complications after lateral pelvic node dissection. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to investigate the long-term complications of preoperative chemoradiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection for locally advanced rectal cancers. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. SETTINGS This study was conducted in a tertiary cancer center. PATIENTS Patients with rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy between 2011 and 2019 were analyzed. All operations were performed via a laparoscopic or robotic approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Long-term complications were defined as adverse events that persisted or newly appeared ≥90 days after surgery and could be related to the surgery. RESULTS A total of 164 patients underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic node dissection after preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Short-term and long-term complication rates were 36.0% and 36.6%, respectively. Lymphocele was the most common long-term complication (17.7% of patients), and 11.6% had anastomotic leakage with chronic sinus. Of the patients with long-term complications, 20.7% of patients needed readmission for treatment. Of the 29 patients with lymphocele, 13 (41.0%) experienced spontaneous absorption and 11 (37.9%) required surgical or percutaneous catheter drainage or antibiotics use. Multivariate analysis showed pathologic pelvic node metastases ( p = 0.008), and a higher number of unilateral harvested pelvic nodes ( p = 0.001) were significantly associated with long-term complications. At the last follow-up (median duration of 43 months), 15.9% of patients had unresolved complications. LIMITATIONS The retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing lateral pelvic node dissection experienced a higher frequency of long-term complications, but half of them had asymptomatic lymphoceles, most of which resolved spontaneously. However, further efforts should be paid to reduce anticipated complications related to lateral pelvic node dissection. See Video Abstract .

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the value of multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) radiomic model for preoperative prediction of recurrence and/or metastasis (RM) as well as survival benefits in patients with rectal cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 234 patients from two centers with histologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma was conducted. All patients were divided into three groups: training, internal validation (in-vad) and external validation (ex-vad) sets. In the training set, radiomic features were extracted from T2WI, DWI, and contrast enhancement T1WI (CE-T1) sequence. Radiomic signature (RS) score was then calculated for feature screening to construct a rad-score model. Subsequently, preoperative clinical features with statistical significance were selected to construct a clinical model. Independent predictors from clinical and RS related to RM were selected to build the combined model and nomogram. RESULTS After feature extraction, 26 features were selected to construct the rad-score model. RS (OR = 0.007, p < 0.01), MR-detected T stage (mrT) (OR = 2.92, p = 0.03) and MR-detected circumferential resection margin (mrCRM) (OR = 4.70, p = 0.01) were identified as independent predictors of RM. Then, clinical model and combined model were constructed. ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the combined model were higher than that of the other two models in three sets. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that poorer disease-free survival (DFS) time was observed for patients in pT3-4 stages with low RS score (p < 0.001), similar results were also found in pCRM-positive patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The mp-MRI radiomics model can be served as a noninvasive and accurate predictors of RM in rectal cancer that may support clinical decision-making.
