Objective: To describe our experience with anorectal malformation (ARM) patients, while analyzing complications and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of ARM patients aged 0-18 years old undergoing surgery from 2006 to 2023 was carried out. Demographic variables, associated malformations, age and repair surgery operating times, presence and type of colostomy, previous intestinal preparation, and presence and type of surgical complications -intestinal occlusion, anal prolapse, stenosis, bleeding, dehiscence, extrusion, anoplasty misposition, urethral perforation, and stomal complications- were collected.

Non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI) refers to irreversible intestinal ischaemia and necrosis in the absence of organic obstruction to the mesenteric blood vessels. In cases of delayed diagnosis, the prognosis is poor and the mortality rate is 58-70%, being the highest among patients with acute mesenteric ischaemia. The risk factors for this disease include heart disease, sepsis, and administration of catecholamines and digitalis; however, there are few reports of its onset during drug therapy for malignant tumours.

Background: Managing patients with obstructing rectal cancer is challenging due to the risks of gastrointestinal obstruction and perforation. This study evaluates the outcomes of pre-emptive laparoscopic colostomy creation in patients with locally advanced rectal and anal cancer to prevent symptoms and facilitate therapy initiation.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes patients with locally advanced rectal or anal cancer assessed by our Colorectal Multidisciplinary Team from January 2017 to February 2024.
