The optimal management of perianal abscess ( PA) in infants remains controversial. This study aimed to compare incision and drainage (ID), incision and drainage with primary fistulotomy (IDF), and conservative management(CM)for the treatment of infants with PA (< 1 year). A retrospective cohort study was conducted for infants with PA between 2014 and 2020.

Aims: We investigate the role and mechanisms of DUSP4 in CRC.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of tumor size on survival in early-onset colon and rectal cancer.
Methods: Early-onset colon and rectal cancer patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2015. Tumor size was analyzed as both continuous and categorical variables.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify prognostic factors and develop a nomogram for predicting overall survival (OS) in stage III/IV early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC).
Methods: Stage III/IV EO-CRC patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. The datasets were randomly divided (2:1) into training and validation sets.
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics, psychological status, sleep quality, and quality of life of patients with functional anorectal pain (FAP). The study also assessed the treatment efficacy of paroxetine in alleviating FAP symptoms. A retrospective comparative study of forty-three patients with FAP who were first treated with an anal plug compound glycolate suppository versus paroxetine combined with anal plug compound glycolate suppository between November 2021 and August 2022.

Objective: To explore the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in preoperative staging of rectal cancer and to guide the treatment of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) in early rectal cancer.
Methods: Clinical data of 80 patients with rectal cancer receiving EUS examination for preoperative staging in our department between June and December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Consistence comparison of EUS preoperative staging and pathological staging was performed to identify the accuracy of EUS preoperative staging.
