Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for recurrence in the perineal canal (PC).
Methods: Patients with PC who underwent operations were enrolled in this study and were divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Preoperative infection, the age at the operation, the presence of colostomy and the treatment procedure for fistula were retrospectively investigated. Regarding the treatment procedure for fistula, either closure of the rectal wall with stitches or ligation of fistula in the rectum was performed. These factors were compared between the two groups.
Results: Six of 17 patients with PC who underwent surgical treatment had recurrence. There were no significant differences in the incidence of preoperative infection, age at operation or presence of colostomy (p = 0.60, 0.38, 1.00, respectively). In the recurrence group, all patients were treated by closure of the rectal wall. In the non-recurrence group, five were treated by the closure of the rectal wall with stitches and six by ligation of the fistula. There was a significant association between recurrence and the treatment procedure for fistula (p = 0.04).
Conclusion: Closure of the rectal wall with stitches is a risk factor for the recurrence of PC.

Pelvic inlet closure with bladder peritoneal flap reduces postoperative ileus after abdominoperineal resection.

Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is the standard treatment for locally advanced distal rectal cancer (LADRC) following neoadjuvant treatment when sphincter-preserving procedures are inapplicable. However, complications such as perineal site infection, perineal hernia and postoperative ileus remain ongoing challenges. We aimed to compare the rate of postoperative ileus due to pelvic incarceration in APR patients with/without pelvic inlet closure.

Background And Study Aims: Prophylactic clip closure after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) among patients on anticoagulants is of uncertain effectiveness in reducing delayed bleeding (DB) risk. We aimed to assess the effect of prophylactic clip closure in preventing DB after colorectal ESD among patients on anticoagulants.
Patients And Methods: We used the ABCD-J study database, a large-scale multicenter study analyzing DB among 34,455 colorectal ESD cases from 47 Japanese institutions.
This case report explores the management of a 56-year-old female oncology patient presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and an incidental atrial septal defect (ASD). The patient, with a history of rectal cancer and hypothyroidism, experienced acute chest pain and dyspnea. She was diagnosed with an inferior STEMI and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the placement of three medicated stents in the right coronary artery.

We present a case of a 73-year-old female with medication refractory overactive bladder treated with the InterStim® sacral neuromodulation device. Five months post implantation she developed drainage over the lead site and rectal bleeding. Evaluation identified lead migration with rectal perforation requiring surgical removal of the battery and lead.

Background: Diverting ileostomy is a common procedure in rectal cancer surgery, but it is sometimes associated with a nonnegligible rate of complications. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and types of stoma-related complications for ileostomy creation after rectal cancer resection. The secondary aims were to report the indications, the technical details, and the efficacy of stoma care provided by ostomy nurses.
