Background: This study aimed to investigate the causes of failure after the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) procedure for ulcerative colitis (UC) and to determine the independent risk factors affecting their quality of life.
Methods: This multi-center cohort study included all UC patients who underwent IPAA at nine referral centers in Türkiye from 2010 to 2018. Centers were categorized as high-volume (≥10 cases/year) or low-volume (<10 cases/year).
Transanal evisceration of small intestines due to chronic rectal prolapse: Still an intriguing case.

Article Synopsis
- - A rare case of evisceration of the small intestine through the rectum occurred in an 83-year-old woman with chronic rectal prolapse who refused surgery.
- - After a month of declining surgery, she presented with the evisceration, leading to a laparotomy and Hartmann's procedure, with no need for small bowel resection.
- - Despite appropriate treatment, the patient did not survive, highlighting the importance of elective rectal prolapse repair to prevent such serious complications.
Right colon cancer often requires surgical intervention, and complete mesocolic excision (CME) has emerged as a standard procedure. The study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic CME for patients with right colon cancer and 5-year survival rates examined to determine the outcomes. Patients who underwent CME for right-sided colon cancer between 2014 and 2021 were included in this study.

- The study explores the effectiveness of laser treatment for pilonidal sinus disease (PSD), highlighting its benefits over traditional surgical methods, such as less postoperative pain and quicker recovery times.
- Involving 106 patients treated with a 1470-nm diode laser, the study compares outcomes between those treated with and without an endoscopic camera, finding no significant differences in pain, recovery, or complications.
- Results indicate high patient satisfaction (99%) and an acceptable recurrence rate (11%), suggesting that laser treatment is a promising option for PSD, though more research on the use of endoscopic cameras is needed.
