Perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic low anterior resection using ArtiSential versus robotic approach in patients with rectal cancer: a propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Total mesorectal excision using conventional straight fixed devices may be technically difficult because of the narrow and concave pelvis. Several laparoscopic articulating tools have been introduced as an alternative to robotic systems. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic low anterior resection using ArtiSential and robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer.

Initial experience of abdominal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system.

From November 2021 to February 2022, 15 patients underwent total abdominal mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system. The clinical and pathological results were analyzed retrospectively. All surgeries were performed without conversion.

Purpose: The Da Vinci SP robot system was recently introduced, but its safety and feasibility for rectal cancer compared with the currently used robot system have not been reported.

Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective study. Data from patients who underwent abdominal total mesorectal excision (TME) from October 2015 to October 2022 were analysed.

Effect of Quality of Repair on Clinical and Structural Outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair.

Background: Anatomic repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon on the greater tuberosity (GT) is an important surgical goal in rotator cuff repair. However, few studies have investigated whether the efforts made to maximize coverage of the GT are associated with the clinical and structural outcomes after rotator cuff repair surgery.

Purpose: To investigate whether the quality of repair at the time of surgery is associated with clinical and structural outcomes after surgery and to identify factors influencing the quality of repair.

[Prediction of Infection by Endoscopic Severity of Erythematous/exudative Gastritis in Asymptomatic Adults].

Clinical Features and Long-Term Outcomes of Paediatric-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Population-Based Cohort in the Songpa-Kangdong District of Seoul, Korea.

Background And Aims: The long-term outcomes of paediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease [pIBD] in non-Caucasian populations are unknown. We therefore evaluated and compared the clinical features and long-term outcomes of pIBD with those of adult-onset IBD [aIBD] using a population-based cohort in the Songpa-Kangdong district of Seoul, Korea.

Methods: Clinical characteristics and prognoses were compared between the two groups: pIBD [defined as <18 years of age at diagnosis] and aIBD [18-59 years of age at diagnosis].

Mild chronic kidney disease and its relation to functional disability in Korean elderly population.

Purpose: Studies have demonstrated that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is significantly associated with the increased risk of functional difficulty in daily activity and mobility. However, data are less available for association between CKD and functional disability in Asians.

Methods: Using a data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, we investigated the association of CKD with functional disability in 882 subjects over the age of 65.

Evidence of the association between anemia and risk of PD (Parkinson's disease) have been accumulating. This study aimed to examine the relationship between anemia and risk of PD in Korean older adults. Korean adults aged 50 years or older who participated in the Korean National Screening Program (n = 12,342,278) between 2009 and 2013 were followed until 2015.

High dose haemodialysis and haemodiafiltration parameters and the relationship with advanced vascular calcification.

Background: Vascular calcification (VC) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis (MHD). However, evidence is still insufficient about the association between dialysis parameters and VC. Thus, this study was to evaluate association of dialysis parameters with VC.

Neurofibroma of the Colon: A Diagnostic Mimicker of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Gastrointestinal neurofibroma usually develops as diffuse gastrointestinal involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. Only 4 cases of sporadic colonic neurofibroma in a patient without neurofibromatosis type 1 have been reported in the English literature. A 26-year-old female patient underwent colonoscopy, and a 4-cm-sized polypoid mass was identified in the sigmoid colon.

Hybrid NOTES: Combined Laparo-endoscopic Full-thickness Resection Techniques.

Advances in laparoscopic surgery and therapeutic endoscopy have allowed these minimally destructive procedures to challenge conventional surgery. Because of its theoretic advantages and technical feasibility, laparoendoscopic full-thickness resection is considered to be the most appropriate option for subepithelial tumor removal. Furthermore, combination of laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches for treatment of neoplasia can be important maneuvers for gastric cancer resection without contamination of the peritoneal cavity if the sentinel lymph node concept is established.

Distribution and Impact of the Visceral Fat Area in Patients With Colorectal Cancer.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate the distribution of the visceral fat area (VFA) and general obesity and to compare visceral and general obesity as predictors of surgical outcomes of a colorectal cancer resection.

Methods: The prospectively collected data of 102 patients with preoperatively-diagnosed sigmoid colon or rectal cancer who had undergone a curative resection at Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital between April 2011 and September 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Men with a VFA of >130 cm(2) and women with a VFA of >90 cm(2) were classified as obese (VFA-O, n = 22), and the remaining patients were classified as nonobese (VFA-NO, n = 80).

Inguinal hernia developed after radical retropubic surgery for prostate cancer.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, we aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of inguinal hernia developed after radical retropubic surgery for prostate cancer to the hernia without previous radical prostatectomy.
