Introduction And Importance: Anastomotic stenosis after low anterior resection is a serious complication and at times even requires surgical revision of the anastomosis.

Case Presentation And Clinical Discussion: The patient presented with a 4.0 cm tubulovillous adenoma of the proximal rectum and underwent low anterior resection with loop ileostomy and subsequent reversal. The case was complicated by complete anastomotic stenosis. A novel technique was utilized to create an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided neo-anastomosis endoscopically.

Conclusion: EUS-guided creation of a neo-colorectal anastomosis is a safe and effective alternative to surgical anastomosis revision of a completely stenosed anastomosis.

Surgery of the tracheobronchial tree carries high morbidity, with over half of the complications occurring at the anastomosis. Although fibroblasts are crucial in airway wound healing, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms in airway reconstruction remain unknown. We hypothesized that airway reconstruction initiates a surgery-induced stress (SIS) response, altering fibroblast communication within airway tissues.

Objectives: Coronary graft failure (CGF) may occur early after coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG). The study aimed to identify clinical and perioperative risk factors and to evaluate the long-term clinical impact of symptomatic early CGF.

Methods: Patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography (CAG) prior to post-CABG discharge between 2012 and 2022 were included.

Background: Radical cystectomy constitutes the standard therapeutic approach for high-risk urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. Contemporary guidelines advise urologists to discontinue anticoagulation therapy during the perioperative period to mitigate the risk of significant intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage. Nevertheless, in elderly patients with a history of coronary artery disease, the cessation of anticoagulant medication elevates the risk of acute myocardial infarction, thereby posing a substantial threat to their survival.

Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has reemerged as a viable surgical option for managing proximal gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer, particularly for early-stage tumors, offering potential advantages over total gastrectomy (TG). This review examines the evolution of PG, emphasizing surgical techniques and outcomes. Although PG was initially abandoned due to postoperative complications such as reflux esophagitis, advances in reconstruction methods, such as the double-flap technique and double-tract reconstruction, have significantly improved patient quality of life and reduced complications.

Introduction: Open ureteroenteric reimplantation (OUER) of ureteroenteric strictures (UESs) is related to important morbidity. Robot-assisted ureteroenteric reimplantation (RUER) has been proposed to provide similar outcomes with lower morbidity. We aimed to compare perioperative and functional outcomes between RUER and OUER.
