AI Article Synopsis
- * It involved 378 patients where the effectiveness of anastomotic reinforcement was compared to a control group without this method, focusing on factors like bleeding and operation time.
- * Results showed that the reinforcement method significantly reduced the rate of anastomotic leakage, suggesting it could improve outcomes in laparoscopic surgeries for these types of cancer.
Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a novel method for anastomosis reinforcement to minimize the occurrence of anastomotic complications after surgical resection of rectal and sigmoid cancer.
Methods: We recruited 378 patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal anterior resection of rectal cancer and sigmoid cancer in SYSUCC. The occurrence rates of intraoperative bleeding, operation time, and postoperative anastomotic complications were compared between the treatment group receiving anastomotic reinforcement and the control group without anastomotic reinforcement.
Results: The incidence of anastomotic leakage in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.59% vs. 11.64%, p < 0.001). Following the application of inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to adjust for factors influencing the occurrence of anastomotic leakage, the incidence of anastomotic leakage remained significantly lower in the treatment group compared to the control group (2.54% vs. 12.08%, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The circumferential continuous anastomosis reinforcing suture method, recommended for laparoscopic surgery for rectal and sigmoid cancer, has the potential to effectively minimize the occurrence of anastomotic complications.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious complication that may occur following the double stapling technique (DST). The study aims to investigate the efficacy of anastomotic reinforcement using barbed sutures in preventing AL after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer.
Methods: During the period from November 1, 2018 to November 1, 2023, a total of 725 consecutive patients who had underwent laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer were enrolled in this study.

Over the past decade, advancements in rectal cancer research have reshaped treatment paradigms. Historically, treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer has focused on neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision. Interest in organ preservation strategies has been strengthened by the introduction of total neoadjuvant therapy with improved rates of complete clinical response.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the diagnosis and evolution of low anterior rectal resection syndrome (LARS) in patients admitted to a tertiary surgical center in Romania.
Materials And Methods: From 120 patients initially included in the analysis, after applying the exclusion criteria, we selected 102 patients diagnosed and operated on for neoplasm of the upper, middle, and lower rectum for which resection and excision (partial or total) of mesorectum was associated. All the patients we treated in the general surgery department of the County Emergency Hospital of Craiova within a time frame of 5 years (1 October 2017-1 September 2022), and all experienced at least one symptom associated with LARS.
