Anastomotic tension "Bridging": a risk factor for anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection.

Background: Excessive tension at the anastomosis contributes to anastomotic leakage (AL) in low anterior resection (LAR). However, the specific tension has not been measured. We assessed whether "Bridging," characterized by the proximal colon resembling a suspension bridge above the pelvic floor, is a significant risk factor for AL following LAR for rectal cancer.

[A Case of Synchronous Bilateral Breast Cancer with Apocrine Feature].

The patient, a 79-year-old woman, noticed a lump in her left breast, prompting her visit to our hospital. A mass approximately 20 mm in size was palpated in the left A region. Mammography showed a spiculated mass in the left MIO region, while breast ultrasonography revealed an irregularly shaped hypoechoic mass in the left A region, as well as a hypoechoic area in the right C region.
