In this surgical teaching video, we demonstrate the technique of robot-assisted uterine anastomosis combined with low anterior resection in a 27-year-old patient with T2 node-positive rectal cancer. The patient had undergone uterine transposition for fertility preservation prior to upfront chemotherapy and radiation therapy for rectal cancer. In this video, we review the key steps of both surgical procedures. We emphasize robot trocar placement and docking, demonstrate optimal organ manipulation and tissue handling, and include key operative modifications and pearls for successful perioperative management.

Absolute uterine factor infertility is conditioned by the congenital or acquired absence of the uterus or the presence of a nonfunctioning uterus in women who wish to become biological mothers. Uterine transplantation along with assisted reproductive techniques can provide this option for women without a uterus. In the early research period, to minimize the risk of preterm birth and other pregnancy-related complications, the uterus of a donor with a history of one to three successfully completed pregnancies was recommended for transplantation.

The combination therapy of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab (LP) is increasingly recognized as an important second-line regimen for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). However, the safety and efficacy of conversion surgery with low anterior rectal resection for unresectable EC following LP therapy is unknown. A 37-year-old woman was referred with unresectable EC with pleural fluid, peritoneal dissemination, and ascites.

Women with an aplastic uterus (ESHRE/ESGE classification) or Müllerian agenesis (ASRM MAC 2021) might present with functional uterine remnants. Our study aimed to report the clinical course of symptomatic uterine rudiments in adolescents and adults with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS). This study involved 20 patients with MRKHS who, between 2012 and 2023, underwent surgery for symptomatic uterine horns at the mean age of 25.

Gallstone ileus (GSI) is a condition caused by migrating gallstones lodged in the terminal ileum. Stone migration results from fistula formation, typically between the gallbladder and duodenum, termed a cholecystoduodenal fistula. This mechanical obstruction has high mortality and requires prompt intervention.
