Therefore, it is essential for colorectal surgeons to have a comprehensive understanding of pelvic structure prior to surgery and anticipate potential surgical difficulties.

Aim: To evaluate predictive parameters for technical challenges encountered during laparoscopic radical sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.

Background: Definitive management of acute fistula-abscess (anal fistulas associated with acute abscess) is gaining popularity against the two-staged approach (early abscess drainage with deferred fistula management). However, locating an internal opening (IO) in acute fistula-abscess can be difficult. A recent protocol (Garg protocol) has been shown to be effective in managing anal fistulas with non-locatable IO.

Department of Surgery, The Tweed Hospital, Tweed Heads, NSW, 2485, Australia.

Background: There is no consensus on the optimal dosage of botulinum toxin (BT) as a sphincter sparing alternative to lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic anal fissure. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term efficacy of high-dose BT as well as the presence of incontinence following the treatment of chronic anal fissure at a single institution.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed at a single institution over a 6-year period (2009-2014).
