Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) correlates with postoperative complications and survival in colorectal cancers. Separate studies for rectal cancers are not available where the majority have preoperative radiation, operated by minimally invasive approaches and have diverting ostomies.Consecutive rectal resections between October 2014 and December 2017 from a single center were included.

The primary aim of the present study was to determine if young age was an independent prognostic factor for survival. Secondarily, age would be used in the context of known factors that predict benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy in stages II and III.

Objectives: Rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) are an uncommon and disturbing complication with limited success in treatment. This study was aimed at determining the incidence of RVFs after rectal resections in the era of neoadjuvant radiation therapy and the outcomes of their treatment.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of female patients who underwent sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer and developed RVF.
Purpose: Evidence-based management of positive pathological circumferential resection margin (pCRM) following preoperative radiation and an adequate rectal resection for rectal cancers is lacking.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained single-centre institutional database was done to study the patterns of failure and management strategies after a rectal cancer surgery with a positive pCRM.
Results: A total of 86 patients with rectal adenocarcinoma with a positive pCRM were identified over 8 years (2011-2018).
