Rationale And Objectives: To analyze variables that can predict the positivity of F-DCFPyL- positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and extent of disease in patients with biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer after primary local therapy with either radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective single institutional review board-approved study. We included 199 patients with biochemical recurrence and negative conventional imaging after primary local therapies (radical prostatectomy n = 127, radiation therapy n = 72).

To investigate the value of reconstruction of pelvic floor with biological products to prevent and treat empty pelvic syndrome after pelvic exenteration (PE) for locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer. This was a descriptive study of data of 56 patients with locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer without or with limited extra-pelvic metastases who had undergone PE and pelvic floor reconstruction using basement membrane biologic products to separate the abdominal and pelvic cavities in the Department of Anorectal Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Military Medical University from November 2021 to May 2022. The extent of surgery was divided into two categories: mainly inside the pelvis (41 patients) and including pelvic wall resection (15 patients).

Background: Retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) is a rare malignancy arising from mesenchymal cells that most commonly presents as an abdominal mass and is associated with poor prognosis. Although several studies have assessed the survival benefits of wide excision, few have reported detailed methods for achieving wide excision in patients with RPS.
Aim: To describe our experience with multidisciplinary surgical resection of RPS using intra- and extra-pelvic approaches.

Background: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disease characterized by growing-functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Extra-pelvic endometriosis, which accounts for approximately 12% of endometriosis, is more challenging to diagnose because of its distance from the pelvic organs. Halban's theory of benign metastasis indicates that endometrial cells can appear in extra-pelvic organs via lymphatic and blood vessels, but endometrial lymph node metastasis cases are still rare.

Acute abdomen is a clinical emergency disease with acute abdominal pain as the main prominent feature. Through severe disease changes in intra-abdominal, extrapelvic, and retroperitoneal tissues and organs, symptoms and clinical signs led by abdominal pain are formed. This article mainly explores the role of CT imaging diagnosis in common acute abdominal diseases in general surgery.
