Impact on defecatory, urinary and sexual function after high-tie sigmoidectomy: a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing extended versus standard complete mesocolon excision.

Objective: To assess the effect of high inferior mesenteric artery tie on defecatory, urinary, and sexual function after surgery for sigmoid colon cancer. Performing a sigmoidectomy poses a notable risk of causing injury to the preaortic sympathetic nerves during the high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery, as well as to the superior hypogastric plexus during dissection at the level of the sacral promontory. Postoperative defecatory and genitourinary dysfunction after sigmoid colon resection are often underestimated and underreported.

Care burden and outcome of the surgical management of ulcerative colitis: A retrospective analysis of the last 20 years in a tertiary hospital in Spain.

Aim: To analyze the surgical burden of UC care in the last two decades, analyzing the characteristics of the patients, surgical indications along with the short and long-term results.

Method: Single-center retrospective cohort analysis of UC patients undergoing abdominal and anorectal surgery between January 2000 and December 2020. The care burden, clinical data and results were analyzed according to distribution by decades.

Extended Versus Standard Complete Mesocolon Excision in Sigmoid Colon Cancer: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether extended complete mesocolic excision (e-CME) for sigmoid colon cancer improves oncological outcomes without compromising morbidity or functional results.

Background: In surgery for cancer of the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, s-CME removes the lymphofatty tissue surrounding the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), but not the lymphofatty tissue surrounding the portion of the inferior mesenteric vein that does not run parallel to the IMA. Evidence about the safety and efficacy of extending CME to include this tissue is lacking.

Results of short term radiotherapy followed by radical surgery for rectal cancer: A long-term unicenter observational study.

Introduction: Short-term radiotherapy (STR) for rectal cancer (RC) has rarely been used in Spain. The aim of the present study is to describe oncological results after RTC and surgery for RC.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of patients treated with STR and surgery for RC (1999-2012).

«Fast track» and intestinal surgery for Crohn's disease: Factors associated with prolonged hospital stay.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with a prolonged postoperative stay (PS) in patients operated on with bowel resection for Crohn's disease (CD) included in an enhanced recovery program (ERP).

Methods: We included patients operated on for CD between January 2013 and December 2015. ERP was organized following an 8-point protocol.

Delorme's Procedure for Complete Rectal Prolapse: A Study of Recurrence Patterns in the Long Term.

Introduction. The objective of this study was to determine the recurrence rate and associated risk factors of full-thickness rectal prolapse in the long term after Delorme's procedure. Patients and Methods.

Anal intraepitelial neoplasia: A narrative review.

Anal intraepitelial neoplasia (AIN) constitutes a major health problem in certain risk groups, such as patients with immunosuppression of varied origin, males who have sexual relations with other males, and females with a previous history of vaginal or cervical abnormalities in cytology. Its relationship with the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been well documented; however, many of the factors involved in the progression and regression of the viral infection to dysplasia and anal carcinoma are unknown. AIN can be diagnosed through cytology of the anal canal or biopsy guided by high-resolution anoscopy.

Preventing complications in colorectal anastomosis: results of a randomized controlled trial using bioabsorbable staple line reinforcement for circular stapler.

Background: Anastomotic complications, including leaks, stenoses, and bleeding, cause considerable mortality and morbidity after colorectal surgery.

Objetive: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of bioabsorbable staple line reinforcement in reducing colorectal anastomotic complications.

Design: This was a prospective randomized clinical study.

Phenotype characteristics of patients with colonic serrated polyposis syndrome: a study of 23 cases.

Introduction: Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a rare entity characterized by the presence of multiple hyperplastic polyps in the colon and an increased risk of presentation and development of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and phenotypical characteristics of patients that present one of the 3 WHO criteria for the diagnosis of SPS diagnosed and treated a tour hospital.

Patients And Methods: Patients with the diagnosis of SPS during 2005-2012 were revised; 24.
