Purpose: Resection of a long rectal stump after previous colectomy or Hartmann procedure often requires a combined transperitoneal and transperineal approach because of limited access through a perineal incision alone. Risks associated with this procedure include iatrogenic injury to bowels, nerves, ureters, vessels and sexual organs. This study reports on the feasibility and safety of perianal minimally invasive surgery (PAMIS) for the resection of long rectal stumps that would otherwise require a combined transperitoneal and perianal approach.
Methods: PAMIS utilizes standard laparoscopic equipment and a single access port to dissect the rectal stump following the mesorectal fascia into the pelvis after excision of the anal canal. Three PAMIS procedures were performed between February and April 2016. Feasibility, safety and outcome were analysed.
Results: Three patients with previous colectomy and ostomy creation due to colitis ulcerosa (n = 2) and idiopathic enteropathy (n = 1) underwent PAMIS. The rectal stump length ranged between 10 and 19 cm. The median postoperative length of stay was 9 (range 6 to 11) days and the median operating time was 90 (range 80 to 120) min. There were no perioperative complications.
Conclusion: PAMIS is a feasible, safe and efficient procedure for rectal stump resection avoiding the transperitoneal approach for pelvic dissection.

Purpose: To present an innovative deformable applicator that used Freiburg flap as vaginal applicator with or without free-hand interstitial needles in three-dimensional (3D) high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for vaginal stump recurrence of cervical cancer.
Material And Methods: Between September 2017 and January 2020, all patients with vaginal stump recurrence after radical hysterectomy of cervical cancer treated with vaginal stump brachytherapy using Freiburg flap as vaginal applicator with or without free-hand interstitial needles were retrospective analyzed. Characteristics related to patients and treatment modality as well as preliminary outcomes and side effects were investigated.

A man in his 60s, who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer, liver metastases, and lung metastasis, had a past history of myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation with reduced cardiac functions. He was referred to our department because of a pulmonary nodule shadow in the S2 right upper lobe and a bronchial cast shadow along the B2 bronchus. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic right S2 segmentectomy was performed and intraoperative bronchoscopy revealed a polyp-like tumor within B2a.

We present the case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed with corticosteroid-dependent ulcerative colitis in 1999, who underwent total proctocolectomy with a J-pouch in 2005. Three years later, he developed recurrent histologically confirmed pouchitis, with clinical worsening. Several therapies were tried, including Infliximab, which provided stability for six years, until the development of antibodies led to moderate pouchitis in the rectal stump.

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.

Background: Single-port laparoscopic surgical approaches offer improved cosmetic outcomes and enhance recovery following surgery. The purpose of the study was to assess the reliability and efficacy of a single-port laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal(SPL-HR) through the colostomy site.
Methods: Prospective data from consecutive patients who underwent SPL-HR between 2020 and 2024 was analysed.
