Complicated Diverticular Disease
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1716701The modern management of colonic diverticular disease involves grouping patients into uncomplicated or complicated diverticulitis, after which the correct treatment paradigm is instituted. Recent controversies suggest overlap in management strategies between these two groups. While most reports still support surgical intervention for the treatment of complicated diverticular disease, more data are forthcoming suggesting complicated diverticulitis does not merit surgical resection in all scenarios. Given the significant risk for complication in surgery for diverticulitis, ca...

Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1714242Peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (PM-CRC) is used to be considered a systemic and fatal condition; however, it has been growingly accepted that PM-CRC can still be local disease rather than systemic disease as analogous to liver or lung metastasis.Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is now considered an optimal treatment for PM-CRC with accumulating evidence. There is a good reason that CRS + HIPEC, widely accepted as a standard of care for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), could be a viable option for PM-C...

Neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy and Lateral Node Dissection: Is It Mutually Exclusive?
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1714239The importance of total mesorectal excision (TME) has been the global standard of care in patients with rectal cancer. However, there is no universal strategy for lateral lymph nodes (LLN). The treatment of the lateral compartment remains controversial and has gone to the opposite directions between Eastern and Western countries in the past decades. In the East, mainly Japan, surgeons consider LLN metastases as regional disease and have performed TME with lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) without neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy ([C]RT) in patients with clinical Stage II/...
