Autological platelet-rich fibrin sealant for anterior horseshoe anal fistula in female patient: A video vignette.

Introduction: Nowadays many techniques have been developed for the treatment of complex anorectal fistulas. Biological substances are used for minimally invasive treatment of anorectal fistulas, especially for complex anal fistulas. Insertion of autological fibrin substance into the fistula tract is one of the types of such procedures.

[Selective approach for splenic flexure mobilization in total mesorectal excision followed by low colorectal anastomoses].

Aim: To evaluate the results of selective approach for splenic flexure mobilization (SFM) after total mesorectal excision with low colorectal anastomoses.

Material And Methods: Clinical data were obtained from the multicenter RCT database comparing ileostomy and colostomy in patients with rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision from 2012 to 2017. Our clinic policy is performing paraaortic lymph node dissection with 'low' inferior mesenteric artery ligation, left colic artery preservation and use of sigmoid colon for colorectal anastomosis.
