We herein report the first case of rectal stenosis that developed after internal hemorrhoid treatment with aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid (ALTA) therapy that was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. A 72-year-old man suffered from a fever and rectal stenosis after undergoing internal hemorrhoid treatment with a submucosal injection of ALTA at a previous clinic. Three months after ALTA therapy, he developed frequent mucous and bloody stools. Lower intestinal tract endoscopy revealed circumferential severe rectal stenosis. He was therefore referred to our hospital. The patient suffered from frequent stool build-up and difficulty defecating. We performed balloon-dilatation intervention. The stenosis was not improved at all. Five months after ALTA therapy, we performed laparoscopic low anterior resection with diverting ileostomy. Three months after the operation, ileostomy takedown was performed. The patient has experienced no rectal stenosis in the 2 years since his radical operation.

It is well established that host immunity plays a critical role in defending against colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Connective tissue disease (CTD) encompasses a group of heterogeneous, immune-mediated disorders that present with diverse and often non-specific initial symptoms. Raynaud's phenomenon is a common feature, complicating early diagnosis.

Hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula and perianal abscess are the most common benign diseases around the anus, which obviously affect people's life and work, and need to be well diagnosed and treated. Based on damage control, the treatment principle is to eliminate relevant disease symptoms and protect the anal function at the same time. Perianal benign diseases are common and frequently occurring, which can be diagnosed and treated in many non-specialist hospitals.

Background: Rectal cancer has become one of the leading malignancies threatening people's health. For locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), the comprehensive strategy combining neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT), total mesorectal excision (TME), and adjuvant chemotherapy has emerged as a standard treatment regimen, leading to favorable local control and long-term survival. However, in recent years, an increasing attention has been paid on the exploration of organ preservation strategies, aiming to enhance quality of life while maintaining optimal oncological treatment outcomes.
