Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass with age, negatively impacts prognosis in gastrointestinal cancer, particularly when combined with visceral obesity, known as sarcopenic obesity.
- A study involving 211 colorectal cancer patients revealed that those with sarcopenic obesity had significantly shorter cancer-related relapse-free survival (CRRFS) compared to those without obesity.
- Key predictors of poor CRRFS included sarcopenic obesity, high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, and unfavorable cancer histology, suggesting that improving muscle mass and reducing visceral fat could enhance patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic complications, like bleeding and leakage, are common issues after surgeries, especially in colorectal cancer cases, prompting the need for effective surgical techniques.
- A study at Osaka University assessed the impact of automated anastomotic devices versus manual techniques on these complications, examining 414 colorectal cancer patients while excluding certain emergency cases.
- Results indicated that while overall statistical significance was lacking, elderly patients showed a higher risk of complications with manual methods; a meta-analysis reinforced the finding that automated devices reduce the risk of anastomotic complications significantly.
Background/aim: Transanal endoscopic local excision requires fine operation in a very narrow space in the rectum. We report a case in which the use of surgical instruments with a multi-jointed structure allowed safe resection of a lesion with a stable field of view, resulting in preservation of postoperative function.
Case Report: The patient was a 49-year-old man who had a rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (G1) with erosive changes in the lower rectum.
Article Synopsis
- Intestinal malrotation (IM) is a rare anatomical condition often not diagnosed until adulthood, typically when patients undergo tests or surgeries for other health issues.
- An 80-year-old woman with cecal cancer was found to have IM during a three-dimensional CT scan, revealing unusual placements of her intestines and blood vessels, which led to complications during laparoscopic surgery.
- While laparoscopic surgery is generally beneficial due to its minimized invasiveness and better visibility, it can be challenging in cases with anatomical abnormalities like IM; however, advancements in imaging techniques are improving preoperative diagnoses.
A 61-year-old male was diagnosed with unresectable advanced gastric cancer(cT4b[SI; panc], N+, M0, cStage ⅣA). However he was administered S-1 plus oxaliplatin as a primary treatment and ramucirumab plus paclitaxel as a secondary treatment, the primary tumor and lymph nodes were enlarged. We judged PD and switched to the third-line treatment with nivolumab.

The ileocolic vein (ICV) generally drains directly into the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), and is an important landmark for laparoscopic surgery in right colon cancer. We present here a patient with a vascular anomaly of the ICV that was diagnosed on preoperative imaging.

A 70-year-old man showing positive results for a fecal occult blood test was admitted to a local hospital. He was suspected of double cancer in the cecum and duodenum. While performing ileocolic and segmental duodenal resections, he was diagnosed with cecal cancer invading the duodenum, following which he underwent surgical intervention.

Case Presentation: We present a rare case of isolated myeloid sarcoma of the small bowel in a 54-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with repeated symptoms of intestinal obstruction. A small bowel series via an ileus tube revealed severe jejunal obstruction.
