Colostomy shift en masse is a novel technique in which the colostomy is shifted along with a rim of skin and abdominal wall tissue. This provides additional length of distal bowel if needed during pull-through anastomosis. We have treated three cases (two Hirschsprung's disease and one anorectal malformation) with colostomy shift en masse, and have achieved good results.

Introduction Perforation represents the most critical manifestation of complicated diverticulitis. In 2008, it was estimated that about 2,000 cases of perforated diverticulitis (PD) were diagnosed in the United Kingdom (UK). Management of PD is evolving with considerable variation in approaches between hospitals and countries with an increased trend towards a conservative approach.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on anorectal malformation (ARM), a common birth defect in children, highlighting a shift from a traditional three-stage repair to a more efficient single-stage procedure called ASARP for treating vestibular fistulas and perineal fistulas in females.
- - Conducted at Government Medical College in Jammu, the research involved 60 female patients, primarily aged 1-5 years, and analyzed both intraoperative and postoperative complications, noting issues like vaginal and rectal tears.
- - The results suggest that the single-stage ASARP procedure leads to satisfactory outcomes with fewer complications, improving both cosmetic and functional results for patients while easing the emotional and practical burden on families and healthcare providers.

Background: The convergence of the economic crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, and Beirut Blast has precipitated unprecedented challenges for the healthcare system in Lebanon, particularly for cancer patients. Amidst these crises, our study evaluates its contribution to a concerning trend of operating on more late-stage and complex colorectal cancer (CRC) cases.
Methods: We included 155 patients operated for CRC between 2017 and 2023.

We hereby present a 70-year-old male Ethiopian farmer who presented with clinical manifestations suggestive of acute large bowel obstruction, which had persisted for 3 days. Over the past 3 years, he has experienced three similar recurring episodes, which were alleviated by decompression using a rectal tube. Upon initial examination, the patient displayed signs of cardiopulmonary distress, although no indications of peritonitis were observed.

Introduction: Despite the shift toward liberal primary anastomosis in penetrating colon injuries, some surgeons recommend a protective diverting ostomy (DO) proximal to the anastomosis. This study evaluates the effect of DO on outcomes in patients undergoing colon resection and anastomosis following penetrating trauma.
Methods: The TQIP database (2013-2018) was queried for penetrating colon injuries undergoing colectomy and anastomosis.
