Learning Curve of Robotic-Assisted Low Anterior Resection for Low and Mid Rectal Cancer.

The aim of our study was to assess the learning curve of robotic assisted low anterior resection with diverting loop ileostomy (LARDLI) for low and mid rectal cancer performed by novice in robotic-assisted surgery colorectal surgeon in a public hospital with limited access to the robotic platform. A retrospective analysis of all low and mid rectal cancer robotic-assisted operations was conducted. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon with a once per week access to the Da Vinci Si™ Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical Inc.

Risk Factors for Rectal Cancer Recurrence after Local Excision of T1 Lesions from a Decade-Long Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Local surgical excision of T1 rectal adenocarcinoma is a well-established approach. Yet, there are still open questions regarding the recurrence rates and its risk factors. A retrospective multicenter study including all patients who underwent local excision of early rectal cancer with an open or MIS approach and had a T1 lesion from 2010 to 2020 in six academic centers.

[SURGICAL TREATMENT USING ROBOTIC APPROACH FOR OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION SYNDROME (ODS)].

Introduction: Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS) is a complex surgical condition which involves structural and functional problems which significantly affects quality of life. There is limited information about the Da-Vinci Robotic System use in the treatment of this condition. This study examines the outcomes of robotic-assisted rectopexy.

Risk Factors for Readmission and Mortality Following Colonic Surgery: A Consecutive Retrospective Series of More Than 2500 Cases.

The optimal strategy to reduce short-term readmission rates following colectomy remains unclear. Identifying possible risk factors can minimize the burden associated with surgical complications leading to readmissions. A retrospective review of all adult patients who underwent colectomies between January 2008 and December 2020 in a large tertiary medical center was conducted.

Rectal Cancer following Local Excision of Rectal Adenomas with Low-Grade Dysplasia-A Multicenter Study.

: Rectal polyps with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) can be removed by local excision surgery (LE). It is unclear whether these lesions pose a higher risk for recurrence and cancer development and might warrant an early repeat rectal endoscopy. This study aims to assess the rectal cancer rate following local excision of LGD rectal lesions.
