The patient was a 59-year-old man. He was admitted to our hospital because of increasing anal pain with induration of the perianal region. There were large secondary orifices with mucous discharge on the left side of the perineal resion and buttock. We diagnosed adenocarcinoma on analysis of a biopsy specimen from induration of the perianal region. Pelvic CT and MRI showed that the tumor spreaded within the pelvis, with invasion of the prostate and sacrum. We performed neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy preoperatively. After chemoradiotherapy, the tumor reduced in size greatly. We performed abdominoperineal resection and massive resection of skin of the perianal region. The defect of the pelvic floor and perianal skin was repaired using skin flap. The surgical margin was tumor free. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was considered effective for locally advanced carcinoma associated with anal fistula.

Some skin tumors can extend beyond their clinical appearance. This presents an additional challenge, especially when the affected area is the genital region, which is more difficult for both the patient and the physician to access and monitor due to its location and anatomical characteristics. The treatment of these lesions is complex, and literature postulates Mohs surgery as the best therapeutic option.

A 54-year-old male underwent a low anterior resection in 2015 for rectal adenocarcinoma. He presented to the emergency department with a two-week history of fever, perianal pain, an erythematous, warm, and actively draining mass. Physical examination revealed a perianal abscess in the left posterior gluteal region, with a palpable internal fistulous orifice 3 cm from the anal margin.

Purpose: Diagnosis of perianal fistula represents a challenge for surgeons. It is well known that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in that. The new 3D MRI sequence VISTA (Volume ISotopic Turbo spin echo Acquisition) can improve detection and characterization of perianal fistula compared with two-dimensional (2D) sequences.

Background: Trends of stoma creation at index surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) in the biologics era has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to assess the impact of increasing biologics use on stoma rates at index surgery of CD, as well as identifying risk factors for the creation and nonreversal of CD-related stoma.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective analysis, consecutive CD patients who underwent index bowel surgery from 2007 to 2021 were reviewed.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) varies by location, potentially affecting therapy efficacy and surgery risk, although research on this topic is conflicting. This study aims to investigate the independent association between CD location and therapeutic patterns.
Methods: We analyzed patients with CD diagnosed from January 2005 to May 2023 registered in the nationwide ENEIDA registry.
