Background: Laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer has been shown by several randomized, controlled trials to be an acceptable alternative to open surgery; however, laparoscopic rectal surgery has not been evaluated in a randomized trial. One of the most serious problems associated with laparoscopic rectal surgery are bowel clamping, irrigation, and transection of the rectum, and laparoscopic rectal surgery has not been as reliable as open rectal surgery.
Materials And Methods: We present our new technique, the laparoscopic double-stapling technique, which eliminates these problems. This technique uses curved Doyen forceps introduced through the wound just above pubis symphysis for clamping the rectal wall at the anal side of the tumor. An endolinear stapler (length 60 mm) is inserted through the same wound, applied at the rectal wall parallel and caudal to the Doyen forceps, and transects the rectum under pneumoperitoneum. We used this technique for eight cases of rectal surgery.
Results And Discussion: The laparoscopic double-stapling technique provided secure bowel clamping and rectal irrigation. The number of cartridges used in laparoscopic double-stapling technique cases was not more than 2, with an average of 1.6 per patient. None of the laparoscopic double-stapling technique cases experienced major complications.
Conclusion: We consider that many cases of rectal cancer that are suitable for laparoscopic low anterior resection can undergo laparoscopic surgery by using this technique, which will improve the quality of rectal surgery.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious complication that may occur following the double stapling technique (DST). The study aims to investigate the efficacy of anastomotic reinforcement using barbed sutures in preventing AL after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer.
Methods: During the period from November 1, 2018 to November 1, 2023, a total of 725 consecutive patients who had underwent laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer were enrolled in this study.

Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the safety of new double-stapling technique (nDST), without a crossing line and dog ears, by comparing with conventional DST (cDST) in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 98 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer from January 2018 to December 2020. The inclusion criterion was an anastomosis level below the peritoneal reflection and 4 cm above the anal verge.

Article Synopsis
- Rectal eversion (RE) is a surgical technique for removing low rectal tumors while preserving the anus, and this study reports on the long-term outcomes of RE combined with laparoscopic surgery using double stapling anastomosis.
- The study involved 17 patients undergoing this procedure, with a mean follow-up of 64 months; it found no anastomotic leaks, with some experiencing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) but overall good patient satisfaction.
- Results indicate that 55% of the patients were extremely satisfied with their outcomes, and the study concluded that RE is a safe method in surgical treatment for rectal tumors.

Background: The da Vinci™ Surgical System, recognized as the leading surgical robotic platform globally, now faces competition from a growing number of new robotic surgical systems. With the expiration of key patents, innovative entrants have emerged, each offering unique features to address limitations and challenges in minimally invasive surgery. The hinotori™ Surgical Robot System (hinotori), developed in Japan and approved for clinical use in November 2022, represents one such entrant.

Objective: The da Vinci SP Surgical System (SP) received regulatory approval for use in gynecological surgeries in Japan in 2023. Given the advantages of the precision of a robot, less pain, and the cosmesis of single-port surgery, the da Vinci SP is expected to be further used for minimally invasive surgeries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of SP for the treatment of rectal endometriosis with segmental bowel resection.
