Temporal trends in surgery for Crohn ’s disease: a ten-year single-center retrospective study
ConclusionThe frequency of biologics use in CD surgery have increased over time, and the proportion of penetrating patients has grown. Minimally invasive surgical methods have become the norm, and surgical outcomes have markedly enhanced, evidenced by a substantial reduction in both stoma rates and complication rates.

The impact of the incidence of diabetic complications on mortality in colorectal cancer patients with diabetes: A nationwide study
ConclusionThe incidence of diabetes-related complications after cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of all-cause five-year mortality in older patients with colorectal cancer and preexisting diabetes. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Predicting complicated appendicitis is possible without the use of sectional imaging —presenting the NoCtApp score
ConclusionsCorrectly identifying CA is helpful for optimizing patient treatment when they are diagnosed with appendicitis. Our logistic regression model can aid in correctly distinguishing UA and CA even without utilizing computed tomography. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Which treatment strategy is optimal for acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction? A Bayesian meta-analysis
ConclusionSEMS as a bridge to surgery reduces stoma formation, and morbidity especially the infection rate with relatively great oncological outcomes. Therefore, SEMS should be recommended first for ALMCO in the medical center with experience and conditions. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Is robotic ventral mesh rectopexy for pelvic floor disorders better than laparoscopic approach at the beginning of the experience? A retrospective single-center study
ConclusionDespite longer operative time at the beginning of the learning curve, robotic ventral mesh rectopexy was associated with similar or better perioperative results than laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Incidence and survival of adenocarcinoma with mixed subtypes in patients with colorectal cancer
ConclusionThe presence of colorectal AM in elderly patients, particularly in the rectum, is frequent and often associated with poor prognosis. Our nomograms can offer a relatively accurate prediction of CSS of patients with AM after tumor resection. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)
