Background: The main goals of surgery for fistula-in-ano are to completely resolve the condition and maintain optimal anal function. Effective management of the internal opening during and proper postoperative drainage of the intersphincter plane are crucial for achieving successful outcomes. This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of a novel sphincter-sparing technique for treating high transsphincteric anal fistula (HTAF).

Purpose: The management of rectal adenocarcinoma has evolved during the last decade, shifting from a conventional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy in all cases to a total neoadjuvant approach, especially in locally advanced tumors when a sphincter-sparing surgery has been planned. However, the exact indications and the neoadjuvant regimen with the highest response remain unresolved. We aimed to assess whether administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy before and after preoperative chemoradiotherapy could increase the pathological complete response (pCR) rates.

Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is a common complication following sphincter-preserving surgical resection for rectal cancer, characterized by symptoms such as fecal incontinence, urgency, and altered bowel habits, which significantly affect patients' quality of life. This cluster of symptoms not only limits their day-to-day physical activity but also has a debilitating effect on their emotional and mental well-being, undermining their integration and overall psychological health. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of invasive and non-invasive interventions for LARS, including pelvic floor rehabilitation, transanal irrigation, and various surgical options such as sacral neuromodulation and stoma formation, either as part of primary surgery or as a definitive treatment option for refractory cases.
