Purpose: Pediatric colorectal studies have shown enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols can safely improve outcomes. This study sought to determine the impact of an ERAS pathway on the outcomes of children with colorectal conditions who underwent colostomy closure or Malone procedure.
Methods: A single-institution, retrospective cohort study of children who underwent colostomy closure or Malone procedure between 2016 and 2020 was performed. Differences in outcomes between pre-ERAS and ERAS cohorts were tested. A sub-analysis based on procedure type was performed.
Results: There were 96 patients included: 22 prior to ERAS implementation and 74 after. Patients who underwent ERAS had shorter mean time (hours) to oral intake, mean days until regular diet, post-operative opioid volume, and median length of stay (p < 0.05). There was no difference in complication rates in the ERAS and pre-ERAS cohort (12.2 vs 9.1%, p = 0.99). Patients who underwent colostomy closure after ERAS had lower post-operative opioid use, but no differences were seen in those who underwent Malone.
Conclusion: Implementation of an ERAS protocol resulted in quicker time to oral intake, normal diet, and decreased opioid use without increasing complication rates. Differences seen based on procedure type may reflect that the effect of an ERAS protocol is procedure specific.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic sigmoid extraperitoneal colostomy combined with pelvic peritoneal closure in abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 162 patients with low rectal cancer, who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection from January 2015 to January 2019 at the Affiliated Peace Hospital of Changzhi Medical College. Extraperitoneal stoma construction was performed in 98 patients (study group), while 64 patients (control group) underwent the procedure without suturing the pelvic peritoneum.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.
Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.
Effectiveness of primary repair for low anorectal malformations in Uganda.

Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Center, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Anorectal malformations (ARMs) have an incidence of up to 1 in 4000 live births and can require immediate neonatal surgery due to associated intestinal blockage. Due to limited surgical access, Ugandan children present late and undergo three separate staged operations: (1) initial colostomy formation; (2) repair of the ARM (called anoplasty); and (3) colostomy closure. Three operations result in long treatment duration, potential complications with each procedure, delays in care, and stigmata associated with colostomies.

Introduction Perforation represents the most critical manifestation of complicated diverticulitis. In 2008, it was estimated that about 2,000 cases of perforated diverticulitis (PD) were diagnosed in the United Kingdom (UK). Management of PD is evolving with considerable variation in approaches between hospitals and countries with an increased trend towards a conservative approach.
