Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletes, but their prevalence has also increased among adults. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a key treatment option, with graft choice playing a critical role in recovery. The study evaluates the clinical and functional outcomes of ACLR using the Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) in patients over 35 years old.

Introduction: Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) describes bowel dysfunction post-restorative proctectomy (RP) and is associated with poor quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an interactive online informational and peer support App on participants' QoL (primary outcome), LARS, and emotional distress (secondary outcomes).
Methods: A multicentre, randomized, parallel-group trial was conducted across five Canadian colorectal surgery practices.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the diagnosis and evolution of low anterior rectal resection syndrome (LARS) in patients admitted to a tertiary surgical center in Romania.
Materials And Methods: From 120 patients initially included in the analysis, after applying the exclusion criteria, we selected 102 patients diagnosed and operated on for neoplasm of the upper, middle, and lower rectum for which resection and excision (partial or total) of mesorectum was associated. All the patients we treated in the general surgery department of the County Emergency Hospital of Craiova within a time frame of 5 years (1 October 2017-1 September 2022), and all experienced at least one symptom associated with LARS.

Background: Noninferiority of omitting intraoperative defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing has been documented for transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) whereas data for the subcutaneous-ICD (S-ICD) regarding the need for DFT testing, especially during S-ICD generator replacement, is not available.
Methods: A total of 112 consecutive patients who underwent S-ICD generator replacement and routine testing were included in this retrospective single-center study and analyzed regarding the outcome of intraoperative DFT.
Results: The majority of patients (87.
Objective: Aim: To evaluate and compare the functional outcomes and quality of life in distal rectal cancer patients after low anterior resection with the formation of a transverse double-fold reservoir (TDFR) and without it.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The retrospective study enrolled 80 patients with distal rectal cancer: 40 patients who underwent low anterior resection with the formation of a TDFR, and 40 patients with the formation of a colorectal anastomosis (control group). The follow-up period was 10-60 months, with a median follow-up of 36 months after primary surgery.
