Purpose: Performing intracorporeal anastomoses in minimally invasive colon surgery appears to provide better short-term outcomes for patients with colon cancer. The aim of the study is to compare surgical aspects and short-term outcomes between intracorporeal and extracorporeal techniques in left colectomies with both laparoscopic and robotic approaches and evaluate advantages and disadvantages of intracorporeal anastomosis according to IDEAL framework (Exploration, stage 2b).

Methods: This is a single center, ambispective cohort study comparing total intracorporeal anastomosis (TIA) and standard surgery with extracorporeal anastomosis (EA).

Aim: The aim was to describe the robot-assisted intracorporeal anastomosis technique in left colon surgery (rLCS) and report the initial results.

Method: The rLCS was performed in 25 consecutive patients, starting with a Pfannenstiel incision and introducing a prepared anvil. The robot was docked and the affected segment resected.

Purpose: Laparoscopic ventral rectopexy is the most favored surgical treatment for rectal prolapse. Perineal approaches are recommended for frail patients and those with major comorbidities, and in young men to avoid genitourinary disorders. There are very few descriptions in the literature of transanal endoscopic surgery to treat complete rectal prolapse.

Article Synopsis
  • Polytrauma is a significant cause of death and disability in individuals aged 10-40, prompting a study to analyze care quality at a hospital.
  • Over an 8-year period, 1200 polytrauma patients were registered, predominantly men with a median age of 45, with blunt trauma being the leading cause of injury; the mortality rate was 9.8%.
  • Despite adequate trauma care, the study identified areas for improvement, including a need for a registry to better evaluate and enhance patient outcomes.
