[Interim results and safety assessment of indocyanine green peritumoral injection for regional lymphatic outflow area mapping in colon cancer as a part of the ISCAPE TRIAL].

Unlabelled: The individual approach to determining colon resection extension, known as tailored surgery, has been actively discussed for several years. However, despite the consistency and validity of the idea, it still has few followers, primarily due to the lack of high-level evidence confirming the validity of this approach.

Objective: To determine whether the boundaries of the lymphatic outflow area, mapped with indocyanine green, match the lymphogenic metastasis area according to the surgical specimens' pathological study.

Mechanical bowel preparation with or without oral antibiotics for rectal resection for cancer (REPCA trial): a study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Background: There is still a lack of randomized trials assessing the clinical value of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and oral antibiotics (OA) before rectal surgery. Existing studies are inconsistent regarding OA. The aim of this study is to examine the role of MBP with or without OA (using Alfa Normix) on postoperative complications in patients undergoing rectal resection for cancer.

Short-term outcomes of a multicentre randomized clinical trial comparing D2 versus D3 lymph node dissection for colonic cancer (COLD trial).

Background: It remains unclear whether extended lymphadenectomy provides oncological advantages in colorectal cancer. This multicentre RCT aimed to address this issue.

Methods: Patients with resectable primary colonic cancer were enrolled in four hospitals registered in the COLD trial, and randomized to D2 or D3 dissection in a 1 : 1 ratio.

[Current view on variety of bowel preparation for elective colorectal surgery].

Mechanical bowel preparation used to be a standard procedure for a long time. Nowadays routine use of MBP seems to be debatable thus alternative approaches, e.g.
