Systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic total mesorectal excision versus transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Introduction: The best approach for total mesorectal excision (TME) remains controversial. Two recently described approaches are robotic TME (RTME) and transanal TME (TaTME). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes between robotic surgery and TaTME in patients undergoing rectal cancer resection.

Intrabiliary Rupture of a Hepatic Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Hydatid disease is a common parasitic infection in many areas of Asia, South America, and Africa. It can affect any organ, most commonly the liver. The hydatid is often asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made when complications arise.

Ileocecal colonic intussusception with adenocarcinoma: A rare case report and management strategy.

Introduction And Importance: Intussusception, a condition primarily seen in pediatric populations, involves the telescoping of one segment of the bowel into an adjacent section. In adults, intussusception is rare and presents unique diagnostic and management challenges. This case report highlights a 73-year-old female with ileocecal colonic intussusception complicated by an underlying adenocarcinoma, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach.

Hydatid peritonitis caused by liver hydatid cyst rupture into the peritoneal cavity: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Hydatid disease predominantly affects the liver and poses a global health concern in regions with significant livestock presence. Hydatid peritonitis, a rare complication, arises when a liver hydatid cyst ruptures into the peritoneal cavity, posing a potential threat to the patient's life.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 45-year-old female with abdominal distension, tenderness, and altered general status following an abdominal contusion.

Colocutaneous fistula due to an infected sigmoid adenocarcinoma: A case report of an unusual revelation.

Introduction And Importance: As revealed as a colocutaneous fistula with an abscess in the abdominal wall, colon cancer is rare. It should be suspected in case of a painful abdominal wall mass in elderly patients. This case presentation of an infected sigmoid adenocarcinoma aims to highlight this uncommon presentation presenting some therapeutic issues.
