Background And Objectives: Previous study has reported that sarcopenia increases the risk of postoperative complications following open colorectal resection. The aim of this retrospective case-control study was to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic colorectal resection in patients with sarcopenia.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal resection for primary colorectal cancer between April 2012 and March 2015 at our institution. The patients were divided into two groups: sarcopenia group (normalized total psoas muscle area in males, <538 mm/m(2); in females, <346 mm/m(2); n = 20) and nonsarcopenia group (n = 40).
Results: No significant differences in the overall rate of postoperative complications (20% vs. 20%) or major postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo Grade III or more (5% vs. 5%) were observed between the patients in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups. Sarcopenia was not found to be a predictor of postoperative complications by univariate analysis.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic colorectal resection was feasible in patients with sarcopenia.

Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large colorectal lesions can be challenging, and residual lesions after EMR can progress to colorectal cancer. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of adding thermal ablation of margins [using argon plasma coagulation (APC) or snare tip soft coagulation (STSC)] in reducing recurrence rates after EMR.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identified from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase.

Unlabelled: In Chile, there is limited information regarding the effects on the quality of life of patients undergoing colorectal resective surgery. Although the GES guideline of management of Colorectal Cancer (2013) includes a quality-of-life survey, presented in a non-translated version to Spanish, without instructions regarding its application method, and recently validated (2023). On the other hand, post-surgical and oncological follow-ups focus on evaluating symptoms, signs, and complementary tests associated with recurrences, leaving the non-standardized evaluation of quality of life to the discretion of the healthcare provider.

Total mesorectal excision (TME) and lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) are the standard treatment for advanced low rectal cancer in Japan. However, large-scale studies to evaluate risk factors for LR are limited.

There is currently a lack of standardized criteria for evaluating clinical complete response (cCR) in rectal cancer post-neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), often resulting in discrepancies with true pathological complete response (pCR). Staging local lesions via MRI is challenged by tissue edema and fibrosis post-nCRT, while endoscopic biopsy accuracy is compromised by residual cancer foci in the muscular layer. Transanal local excision offers a relatively accurate assessment of lesion regression but poses challenges including impaired anal function and elevated complication rates.
