Background: The powered circular stapler, which was developed with the aim of providing reliable and reproducible anastomosis, provides complete anastomosis, resulting in a reduced risk of anastomotic leakage. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of anastomotic leakage between a conventional manual circular stapler (MCS) and the ECHELON CIRCULAR™ Powered Stapler (ECPS) in patients with left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent anastomosis with the double stapling technique.
Methods: A total of 187 patients with left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent anastomosis with the double stapling technique with a conventional MCS or the ECPS during surgery at Osaka City University Hospital between January 2016 and July 2022 were enrolled in this study.
Results: The incidence of anastomotic leakage in the ECPS group was significantly lower than that in the MCS group (4.4% versus 14.3%, p = 0.048). Furthermore, even after propensity score matching, an association was found between the use of the ECPS and a reduced incidence of anastomotic leakage.
Conclusion: The ECPS has the potential to help reduce the rate of anastomotic leakage in left-sided colorectal surgery.

Objective: The construction of a gastric-tube-substitute esophagus is a common method for digestive tract reconstruction after esophagectomy. However, the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage remains high. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of 2 gastric tube fabrication methods-cis-cutting and retro-cutting-in reducing postoperative anastomotic leakage.

Background: The optimal oesophagogastric anastomosis technique for oesophageal cancer surgery remains unclear. The aim of this study was to perform a network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) to compare oesophagogastric anastomosis techniques for oesophageal cancer surgery.
Methods: A systematic review and NMA were performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines-NMA extension.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and long-term outcomes of a one-stage resection and anastomosis approach without preoperative decompression in patients with left-sided incomplete obstructive colorectal cancer.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 571 patients diagnosed with pT3-4NanyM0 left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection and primary anastomosis without preoperative decompression or a diverting stoma from April 2012 to December 2019. Of these, 97 (17%) patients presented with incomplete obstruction, while 474 (83%) had no obstruction.

Objectives: Differences in oncological outcomes between conservative and surgical treatments for anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery remain unclear.
Methods: From July 2011 to June 2020, 385 patients underwent curative resection with double-stapling anastomosis for left-sided colon and rectal cancers. Among them, 33 patients who experienced AL were retrospectively evaluated and categorized into two groups: conservative (n = 20) and surgical (n = 13).
Effects of Diverting Stoma Creation in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Rectal Cancer.

Department of Coloproctological Surgery, Juntendo University Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: In rectal cancer surgery, a diverting stoma (DS) is used to prevent severe anastomotic leakage (AL), peritonitis, reoperation, and longer hospitalization. DS creation has increased in the last few decades, without establishment of clear criteria for construction of a DS. Therefore, the goal of the study was to investigate the validity of DS construction based on risk factors for AL, as an approach to reduce the number of stoma creations.
