Article Synopsis
- - A systematic review of studies on Kock pouch (KP) complications found a high overall complication prevalence of 60.4%, with 46.6% requiring revision and 12.9% experiencing failure.
- - Data were collected from 19 studies involving 2042 patients, determining that risk factors for complications included a higher body mass index (BMI) and prior ileoanal pouch anastomosis, but these did not correlate with pouch failure.
- - The findings emphasize that the KP is a complex procedure best performed by skilled surgeons, as many patients still prefer to keep their KP despite complications.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the short-term outcomes of robotic colorectal surgery implemented through a structured, standardized training pathway in five colorectal centres in the United Kingdom.
Method: A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted, involving 523 consecutive patients who underwent robotic colorectal resection between 2015 and 2019. All participating centres followed the European Academy of Robotic Colorectal Surgery training pathway.
Background: Available platforms for local excision (LE) of early rectal cancer are rigid or flexible [trans‑anal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS)]. We systematically searched the literature to compare outcomes between platforms.
Methods: PRISMA-compliant search of PubMed and Scopus databases until September 2022 was undertaken in this random-effect meta-analysis.
Aim: This study aimed to assess success, recurrence, and overall complication rates among different surgical procedures for stomal prolapse.
Methods: This study was a PRISMA-compliant systematic review. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched until March 2022.
