Background: Minimally invasive ventral rectopexy has widely become the preferred prolapse procedure. However there have been recent concerns regarding the safety of permanent synthetic mesh in the pelvis. Biologic grafts have also been commonly used as an alternative prosthesis, but data on their safety and the longevity of the prolapse repair have been lacking.

Objectives: Effective treatments for diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) are limited. Hangeshashinto (HST), an anti-inflammatory Kampo medicine, may offer benefits but its efficacy for IBS-D requires further investigation. This study evaluated IBS-D symptom improvement and gut microbiota changes following HST administration.

Objectives: Although curative resection for synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis has been reported to improve prognosis, cases with positive intraoperative lavage cytology have not been reported. In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of potentially curative resection based on colorectal cancer and lavage cytology positivity in patients with synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients who underwent intraoperative lavage cytology and one-stage potentially curative resection of primary and metastatic lesions (lavage cytology-positive, n = 21; lavage cytology-negative, n = 51) between July 2004 and December 2019.

Achieving hemostasis during post-hemorrhoidectomy bleeding (PHB) is often challenging owing to poor visibility within the anal canal. We investigated the feasibility of using endoscopy for observation and maintaining hemostasis during PHB. Endoscopic evaluation was performed in patients with normal vital signs and no severe pain or excessive bleeding was observed during proctoscopy.
