The author present the laparoscopic coloanal anastomosis and intersphincteric resection technique to treat patients with very low rectal cancer. The operative steps are: 1 - Patient positioning; 2 - Instruments and equip positioning; 3 - Insertion of the ports; 4 - Preparation of the operative field; 5 - Difining and dividing the inferior mesenteric artery and vein by the medial approach; 6 - Mobilization of splenic flexure and sigmoid colon; 7 - rectal mobilization and total mesorectum excision by Rullier technique; 8 - Rectal division and coloanal anastomosis; 9 - intersphincteric resection and coloanal anastomosis by coloplasty, J pouch or latero-to-end techniques. The technique employed is safe and have presented low rate of complication and no mortality.

A Rare Case of Idiopathic Megacolon and Megarectum.
Cureus

General Surgery, King's College Hospital London, Dubai Hills, Dubai, ARE.
Idiopathic megacolon and megarectum are rare clinical conditions characterized by irreversible dilation of the colon and rectum without an identifiable organic cause. The underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood, though hypotheses suggest abnormalities in the enteric nervous system or smooth muscle dysfunction. These conditions present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in cases refractory to conservative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- * It analyzed data from 844 patients, finding that end-to-end anastomoses had a significantly higher rate of intraoperative air leaks (4.9%) compared to non-end-to-end (1.2%).
- * However, there was no significant difference in the rates of clinical leaks after surgery between the two techniques, suggesting that intraoperative leaks do not necessarily predict postoperative outcomes.
Defunctioning Ileostomy After Low Anterior Resection of Rectum: Morbidity Related to Fashioning and Closure.

Department of General Surgery, Creta Interclinic Hospital, 71304 Heraklion, Greece.
: The aim of this study was to assess any predisposing factors to the morbidity of fashioning and reversal of diverting ileostomy in a prospective cohort of patients who have undergone TME and low colo-rectal or colo-anal anastomosis for rectal cancer. Consecutive patients with rectal cancer undergoing low anterior resection and a defunctioning loop ileostomy in three surgical units from 2016 to 2020 were included in the study and retrospectively analyzed. : One hundred eighty-two patients from three centres were included.

Purpose: Current training methods for surgical trainees are inadequate because they are costly, low-fidelity, or have a low skill ceiling. This work aims to expand available virtual reality training options by developing a VR trainer for straight coloanal anastomosis (SCA), one of the Colorectal Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (COSATS) tasks.
Methods: We developed a VR-based SCA simulator to evaluate trainees based on their performance.
