Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become standard for resectable peritoneal surface malignancies. CRS aims to achieve complete resection of macroscopic disease through peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections. The pelvis is very frequently involved in peritoneal malignancies, making surgical techniques that ensure complete tumor removal an essential part of CRS.

- This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
- Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
- The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.
Background: Fistulotomy with immediate sphincteroplasty is a technique that can heal fistulas and decrease fecal incontinence more effectively than fistulotomy alone, in selected patients.
Objective: We aimed to perform a long-term evaluation of fecal incontinence after fistulotomy and immediate sphincteroplasty in patients with complex anal fistula.
Design: This prospective study included patients undergoing fistulotomy and immediate sphincteroplasty for complex anal fistula from January 2000 to December 2010.
