Aim: Fast track protocol (FTP) showed to improve perioperative care. The study aims to evaluate the impact of the FTP in the open extraperitoneal rectal cancer (ERC) surgical treatment without a primary derivative stoma (DS) and the QoL in patients with or without a secondary DS.
Patients And Methods: 50 patients affected by ERC were enrolled and operated on with open low anterior resection without a primary DS. They were randomized in two groups: one was treated perioperativelly in the traditional way (group T), the other using a modif ed FTP (group FT). A QoL questionnaire was administered prior to discharge and at 1-month follow-up.
Results: Five courses (10%) were complicated by anastomotic leakage: 3 (12%) in the FT group (2 minor and 1 maior) and 2 (8%) in the T group (1 minor and 1 maior) (p=n.s.). All the maiors and one minor were treated with a DS. Patients of the group FTP were considered dischargeable earlier that those of group T (p<0.05). Patients with DS had a significantly lower QoL score (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: FTP with minor modifications is feasible and safe in the ERC open surgery without using a DS. Better results were obtained without increasing complication rate. A secondary DS impacts detrimentally on QoL.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic sigmoid extraperitoneal colostomy combined with pelvic peritoneal closure in abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 162 patients with low rectal cancer, who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection from January 2015 to January 2019 at the Affiliated Peace Hospital of Changzhi Medical College. Extraperitoneal stoma construction was performed in 98 patients (study group), while 64 patients (control group) underwent the procedure without suturing the pelvic peritoneum.

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern worldwide and ranks as the 4th most frequent cancer among men in Azerbaijan. While robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the preferred surgical technique in many countries, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) remains the primary treatment option in Azerbaijan due to limited access to robotic surgical systems. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of ORP in patients with local and locally advanced prostate cancer.

Article Synopsis
- This paper reviews a decade of data on rectal injuries at Grey's Hospital, aiming to improve management strategies for these injuries in civilian settings.
- A total of 88 patients with rectal trauma were analyzed, with a majority being young males and injuries predominantly resulting from penetrating mechanisms like gunshot wounds.
- The study highlights that rectal trauma leads to significant complications, including urogenital and gastrointestinal morbidity, underscoring the need for better management practices despite the reliance on techniques like proximal diversion and primary repairs.
