Background: Several manufacturers are in the process of developing various innovative systems and expect more options in the robot market. One of the latest systems, the Senhance® platform (TransEnterix Surgical Inc, Morrisville, NC, USA), has already been introduced in Europe and has also been approved for clinical use in Japan. We report the first case of colorectal resection using Senhance in Japan.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 79-year-old Japanese man who visited a previous physician for positive fecal occult blood. Upon close inspection, the preoperative diagnosis was cT2N0M0 stage I. We performed surgery using Senhance. The operation time was 198 min, and the estimated amount of bleeding was 10 g. He was discharged after surgery without any major complications. However, it is also true that the operability of the conventional port arrangement was poor during the surgical operation.
Conclusion: We report the first Senhance-assisted ileocecal resection for colorectal cancer in Japan. In the future, we would like to find more ways to use it by accumulating more cases.

A 54-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of abnormal colonoscopic findings, including a submucosal protuberance at the appendiceal root. A biopsy showed no malignant findings. Computed tomography revealed a 20-mm cystic lesion with thick walls at the appendiceal root, suggestive of an appendiceal mucocele.

The aim was to explore factors associated with intestinal tissue levels of anti-TNF alpha (anti-TNF), anti-TNF antibodies, and cytokines in pediatric patients with Crohn Disease (CD). In a prospective exploratory study of CD patients undergoing ileocecal resection or colonoscopy between 6/2020 and 1/2023, we analysed tissue levels of anti-TNF, anti-TNF antibodies, and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17, IL-1β, IFN-γ) from intestinal biopsies. Mixed-effects regression models, adjusted for potential confounders, were used.

Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

BACKGROUND Terminal ileum (TI) anastomoses present challenges due to anatomical features and pressure from the ileocecal valve (ICV). The use of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used to treat chronic skin ulcers. Its use for temporary abdominal closure following anastomosis is controversial but has shown promise in patients with inflammatory or vascular disease.

Herein, we described a case of small bowel Crohn's disease with recurrent, unexplained fevers, pain in the right lower back, hip, and groin area over 20 months. The patient did not present any gastrointestinal symptoms and colonoscopy showed no abnormalities. Imaging revealed a liver abscess and multiple lesions with pneumatosis in the muscles of the right lower back region.
