A 37-year-old man with Crohn's disease (CD) and a history of abdominal surgery was diagnosed with anal canal cancer. Robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed and the patient was discharged without any postoperative complications. Recently, minimally invasive surgery for CD patients has grown in popularity. However, there have been few studies of robotic surgery for CD patients with anal canal cancer. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first report of a patient with CD-associated anal canal cancer who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection.

Background: With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer (LRC). However, there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of LapTME TaTME in patients with LRC.

Background: Perianal abscess is a common anal condition primarily caused by bacterial infections, yet the precise origins of these infecting bacteria remain unclear. Understanding the distinct microbial signatures associated with periaabscesses is crucial for provide fresh ideas for disease prevention.
Materials And Methods: Samples of anal skin, feces, and abscesses were collected from a cohort of 75 patients diagnosed with perianal abscesses.

Background: To extend the practicality of liquid biopsy beyond the historical HPV circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays, we evaluated the clinical relevance of a novel next-generation sequencing HPV ctDNA assay in patients with locally advanced and metastatic squamous cell cancer of the anal canal (mSCCA).
Methods: ctDNA isolated from the plasma of patients with mSCCA was sequenced using a 1.4 Mb hybrid-capture target-enrichment panel covering the whole genome sequences of all 193 HPV types.
