Background/objectives: The modified double-stapling technique (DST) with vertical division of the rectum(IO-DST) has been reported as a feasible and safe procedure for performing low anastomosis during rectal cancer surgery. In this procedure, an endostapler was vertically used, instead of using a horizontally orientated linear stapler, when dividing the rectum. A previous study reported that this technique is useful for treating patients with a narrow pelvis and/or performing a very low anastomosis.
Methods: The use of IO-DST anastomosis during anterior resection(AR) and low anterior resection was performed on 80 cases of rectal cancer between April 1998 and June 2004 at our institution. We reviewed those cases and evaluated the leakage rate.
Results: We found that leakage occurred in six cases (7.5%); however, leakage was not found in cases of AR or cases with a preserved left colic artery (LCA).
Conclusions: The IO-DST technique is an adequate procedure for performing AR. The preservation of the LCA could be used to prevent leakage.

Background: The double-stapled technique is the most common method of colorectal anastomosis in minimally invasive surgery. Several modifications to the conventional technique have been described to reduce the intersection between the stapled lines, as the resulting lateral dog-ears are considered possible risk factors for anastomotic leakage.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the outcomes of patients receiving conventional versus modified stapled colorectal anastomosis after minimally invasive surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a significant postoperative complication in colorectal cancer surgeries, prompting a study to compare the modified double-stapling technique (MDST) with the conventional double-stapling technique (DST).
- In this study of 232 patients, those undergoing MDST experienced a significantly lower rate of AL (3.4%) compared to those who had DST (11.2%).
- The findings suggest that MDST may be a more effective surgical approach for patients with middle and high rectal cancer, as it reduces the risk of complications associated with ischemic "dog-ears" created during the procedure.

Purpose: Colorectal anastomotic leakage (AL) is a life-threatening complication, which increases morbidity, hospital stay and cost of treatment. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors, including intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG FA), associated with the leak of stapled colorectal anastomosis.
Methods: Four hundred twenty-nine consecutive patients underwent surgery between 2017 and 2019 for benign (n=10, 2.

Background: In recent years, minimally invasive Ivor Lewis (IL) esophagectomy with high intrathoracic anastomosis has emerged as surgical standard of care for esophageal cancer in expert centers. Alongside this process, many divergent technical aspects of this procedure have been devised in different centers. This study aims at achieving international consensus on the surgical steps of IL reconstruction using Delphi methodology.

Purpose: Proper transection of the distal rectum is important for reconstruction of bowel continuity in rectal cancer surgery. In this study, we introduced a modified technique for ligation of the distal rectum, and investigated its safety and efficiency to facilitate the rectum transection.
Methods: After complete mobilization and transection of the mesorectum, a cable tie was carefully positioned distal to the tumor, followed by washout and transecting the rectum with a linear stapler.
