Management of large-size retrorectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is complex and challenging from diagnosis to treatment. This may create technical difficulties in surgical access and complete resection of the tumor. The abdominosacral resection has the benefit of improved visualization via the anterior incision, with enhanced exposure of the midrectal area, which makes resecting the tumor completely via the posterior approach easier. We report 2 cases of patients with a retrorectal GIST and neurofibromatosis type 1, one in a 27-year-old woman with a defecation complaint and the other in a 58-year-old woman with a defecation and urination complaint. Based on the anatomical pathology, both patients were diagnosed with a GIST. The tumors were excised via an abdominosacral resection. Retrorectal GISTs are rare, and abdominosacral resection allows complete resection of a large-size retrorectal GIST with low morbidity and an absence of functional impairment. The abdominosacral resection should be considered in certain situations.

Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Aim: Data regarding the operative management of presacral tumours present various dilemmas due to their rarity and heterogeneous nature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management strategy, factors associated with operative morbidity and long-term postoperative outcomes in a large group of patients undergoing surgery for presacral tumours.
Method: This study was designed as a multicentre retrospective cohort study.
Navigation-Assisted Surgery for Locally Advanced Primary and Recurrent Rectal Cancer.

Background: In some surgical disciplines, navigation-assisted surgery has become standard of care, but in rectal cancer, indications for navigation and the utility of different technologies remain undetermined.
Methods: The NAVI-LARRC prospective study (NCT04512937; IDEAL Stage 2a) evaluated feasibility of navigation in patients with locally advanced primary (LARC) and recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). Included patients had advanced tumours with high risk of incomplete (R1/R2) resection, and navigation was considered likely to improve the probability of complete resection (R0).

Radical surgical procedures for malignant diseases of the pelvis result in a large pelvic defect that requires soft tissue reconstruction. The mesentery can be used for pelvic floor reconstruction when debridement with intestinal resection is required. A 75-year-old woman was diagnosed with sacral necrosis, infection and sepsis after carbon ion radiotherapy for sacral chordoma.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and factors associated with long-term functional outcomes of sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) after resection in neonates and infants.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with a minimum of 3 years of follow-up who underwent resection and were histologically diagnosed with SCTs between 1982 and 2017 at our institution were included.
Results: The median age at the time of the study was 10.

Introduction: Perianal Paget's disease is associated with adenocarcinoma and can spread to the perianal skin. It often requires extensive resection of the perianal skin and rectum. Many studies have shown the efficacy of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for lower rectal cancer.
