A 60-year-old man presented to our hospital with melena. A submucosal tumor (24 mm) was found via magnetic resonance imaging between the prostate and the rectum (Rb). A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that displaced the prostate ventrally was diagnosed via histopathology. Preoperative imatinib treatment was initiated to reduce the tumor size and prevent extensive surgery. Approximately 33% of the tumor was reduced using chemotherapy. First, laparoscopic rectal dissection and mobilization were performed reaching the pelvic floor. Then, we performed perineal partial rectal resection. There has been no recurrence.

Background: Local relapse has not been eradicated even in the era of total mesorectum excision. Although various approaches have been attempted, R0 resection remains the only potentially curative treatment.

Background: The colonization of (SA) acquired in nosocomial infections may develop acute and chronic infections such as Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in the nose. As a commensal microorganism with the ability to form a biofilm, SA can dwell on the skin, nostrils, throat, perineum, and axillae of healthy humans. Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable gas with various molecular functions and has antimicrobial properties which are converted into many potential treatments.

Purpose: Rectal spacers have gained popularity as a dose-sparing material for prostate cancer radiation therapy (RT). However, the procedure can be associated with unintended rectal wall infiltration (RWI) of the spacer gel. We therefore classified RWI severity as a function of depth and explored its association with rectal toxicity using a data set from prostate cancer patients treated with RT on a prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT).

Article Synopsis
- Rectal prolapse (RP) is a rare condition where part or all of the rectum protrudes through the anal canal, more commonly seen in elderly females with various risk factors.
- A unique case involved a previously healthy 39-year-old man with incarcerated RP, requiring an urgent surgical procedure (Altemeier procedure) and a later reversal of a colostomy.
- The case emphasizes the need for surgical management in instances of incarcerated RP and highlights the absence of specific management guidelines, making decisions based on each patient's unique circumstances.
