Study Objective: To evaluate the role of protective defunctioning stoma (PDS) on the occurrence of digestive tract complications after colorectal resection to treat endometriosis.
Design: Prospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: University hospital.
Patients: All patients undergoing segmental colorectal resection to treat colorectal endometriosis with and without PDS between 2003 and 2011 at Tenon University Hospital, Paris, France.
Measurements And Main Results: Patients were assessed at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and each year thereafter. Median follow-up was 60 months. Of 198 patients included for analysis, 53 (27%) had PDS. Overall, 15 (7.5%) digestive tract complications occurred: 9 (4.5%) rectovaginal fistulas and 6 (3%) anastomotic leakages. All rectovaginal fistulas occurred in patients with a low colorectal anastomosis (p < .001) and 88% (8 of 9) in patients with a partial colpectomy (p < .001). PDS was associated with a decrease in the number of rectovaginal fistulas in women undergoing partial colpectomy and low colorectal resection from 27% to 15%, without reaching significance (p = .4). No anastomotic leakage occurred in patients with PDS.
Conclusion: Our results support that PDS can be omitted in patients with mid-colorectal anastomosis without partial colpectomy. In patients requiring partial colpectomy or partial colpectomy plus low colorectal anastomosis, PDS remains questionable.

: Endoscopic resection with lift polypectomy using submucosal injection (SI) for large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps is recommended to facilitate complete mucosal resection and decrease the risk of perforation; however, there are no studies comparing the safety and efficacy of large polypectomies with and without lift polypectomy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the polypectomy technique without SI compared to the routine use of SI. : We performed a single tertiary center retrospective study evaluating all consecutive large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (≥20 mm) referred to expert endoscopists in polypectomy from 2018 through 2021.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Kuwait. The effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing CRC is dependent on a high adenoma detection rate (ADR). Computer-aided detection can identify (CADe) and characterize polyps in real time and differentiate benign from neoplastic polyps, but its role remains unclear in screening colonoscopy.

Background: Colonic obstructions present a serious medical emergency that requires prompt surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Cecostomy, a procedure involving the creation of an opening in the cecum to decompress the colon, serves as one surgical approach for managing these obstructions. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness and benefits of cecostomies in emergency surgical settings, with a focus on recent clinical studies and case reports.

: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and women. With advancements in technology, minimally invasive treatment options have become increasingly prominent in colorectal cancer surgery. This study aimed to compare the increased intra-abdominal pressure in laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery with open procedures using kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) secreted from renal tubules.

: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, with colon cancer accounting for approximately 60% of all CRC cases. Surgery remains the primary and most effective treatment. Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has emerged as a promising approach for colon cancer resection.
