Laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Abstract Laparoscopic surgery has been relatively contraindicated in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) because of concerns about the effect of the pneumoperitoneum on shunt function. However, there have been recent reports of laparoscopic surgery on the gallbladder and cecum.

We made a diagnosis of advanced rectal cancer in a 77‐year‐old man who had a VPS to treat hydrocephalus after a subarachnoid hemorrhage. We performed the procedure with the patient in a 15...

Preventive effect of diverting stoma on anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic low anterior resection with double stapling technique reconstruction applied based on risk stratification
ConclusionWe identified the high‐risk population for AL after laparoscopic low anterior resection with double stapling technique reconstruction based on two factors. This will enable surgeons to appropriately recommend diverting stoma creation. (Source: Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery)
