Transanal evisceration of small intestines due to chronic rectal prolapse: Still an intriguing case.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
October 2024
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.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision (bTME) for locally advanced rectal tumors, involving a multicenter analysis of 168 patients from July 2015 to November 2020.
- Most patients were around 60 years old, with a significant portion undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy; the procedure had a low conversion rate to laparotomy and a notable instance of postoperative complications.
- Results showed an R0 resection rate of 92.9%, with overall survival rates of 91.7%, 82.1%, and 76.8% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively, suggesting that robotic bTME
Article Synopsis
- 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.
Optimizing the Personalized Care for the Management of Rectal Cancer: A Consensus Statement.
Turk J Gastroenterol
August 2022
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Turkey. The current guidelines do not provide sufficient information to cover all aspects of the management of rectal cancer. Although treatment has been standardized in terms of the basic principles of neoadjuvant, surgical, and adjuvant therapy, uncertainties in the management of rectal cancer may lead to significant differences in clinical practice.

Methods: We identified 1225 patients who underwent elective surgery for diverticulitis between January 2010 and January 2018. The data were obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and the Turkish Diverticulitis Study Group Collaborative, retrospectively.
