Objective: To explore the risk factors and management principles of rectal injury during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 7 cases of LRP complicated with rectal injury and treated in Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2010 to June 2021. Four of the 7 PCa patients were found with complete rectal rupture during LRP, of whom 2 were treated by laparoscopic rectal repair (LRR) and the other 2 by LRR + colostomy during surgery. Another case of rectal muscle injury also underwent LRR. Two cases of delayed rectal rupture were observed postoperatively and treated by colostomy + transrectal repair in the second-stage operation.

Results: The rectal injuries were found in the apex of the prostate in all the 7 cases, pathologically staged as pT2b��pT3b and with Gleason scores of 7��10. Postoperative follow-up lasted 2 to 18 months, during which the 5 cases of intraoperative rectal repair recovered well without complications, and of the 2 cases of postoperative rectal repair, 1 made a good recovery and the other 1 developed rectourethral fistula.

Conclusion: Rectal injury during radical prostatectomy tends to occur in the apex of the prostate and can be effectively managed by laparoscopic repair. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to the postoperative complication of rectourethral fistula.

Objective: To assess urological complications in patients undergoing total pelvic exenteration (TPE) for locally advanced (LARC) and recurrent rectal cancer (RRC) as publications in this area are limited. Secondary objectives were to assess whether LARC vs RRC or radiation status affected urological outcomes.

Methods: Single-centre, retrospective study of TPE patients between January 2017 and December 2022.

Anal Sphincter Reconstruction Using the Posterior Sagittal Approach for Pediatric Perineal Trauma.

European J Pediatr Surg Rep

January 2024

Department of Surgery, Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, Children's National Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia, United States.

Traumatic perineal injuries are rare but can result in significant morbidity, particularly when the anal sphincter is injured. The management of such injuries in the pediatric population is rarely noted in the literature. We aimed to describe reconstruction in such patients using lessons learned in reoperative anorectal malformation surgery.

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern worldwide and ranks as the 4th most frequent cancer among men in Azerbaijan. While robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the preferred surgical technique in many countries, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) remains the primary treatment option in Azerbaijan due to limited access to robotic surgical systems. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of ORP in patients with local and locally advanced prostate cancer.
