Laparoscopic-Modified Semi-Spiral Mesh Rectopexy for Rectal Prolapse.

Laparoscopic procedure for rectal prolapse has extend throughout the world as a minimally invasive treatment. Various techniques have been reported regarding the use of mesh, fixation, and rectal mobilization. However, a standard technique has not been established yet.

Evaluating Laparoscopic Skills: Report on the Origami Crane Folding Competition Using Laparoscopic Instruments With Objective Criteria.

Purpose: To evaluate the importance of daily laparoscopic training using laparoscopic forceps to fold origami paper cranes (a traditional Japanese paper craft) and assess the performance of laparoscopic origami crane folding in an actual competition.

Method: A competition, named the "Kaminote Challenge World Championship," was used to evaluate the effectiveness of training. The participants folded the paper cranes using laparoscopic forceps.

The clinical impact of intraoperative bleeding on peritoneal recurrence after surgery for stage II to III colorectal cancer.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for peritoneal recurrence (PR) in patients with stage II to III colorectal cancer who underwent colorectal surgery.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 232 patients who underwent colorectal surgery for stage II to III colorectal cancer. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine risk factors for PR.

Robotic purse-string suture technique for intracorporeal anastomosis using double-stapling technique in robotic resection of rectal and sigmoid colon cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Background: Robotic three-dimensional magnified visual effects and field of view stabilization have enabled precise surgical operations. Intracorporeal anastomosis in right-sided colorectal cancer surgery is expected to shorten operation times, avoid paralytic ileus, and shorten wound lengths; however, there are few reports of intracorporeal anvil fixation for intestinal anastomosis in left-sided colorectal cancer surgery. Herein, we introduce a simple, novel procedure for using robotic purse-string suture (RPSS) in intracorporeal anastomosis with the double-stapling technique in rectal and sigmoid cancer surgery and report short-term outcomes.
