An evaluation of a novel bowel preparation regimen and its effect on the utility of colon capsule endoscopy: a prospective cohort study with historical controls
ConclusionsThe rate of adequate bowel preparation has improved following the introduction of a new regimen. However, further work is needed to increase the complete test rate. A significant proportion of patients continue to avoid colonoscopy following CCE. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Predicting the prognosis of lower rectal cancer using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging with artificial intelligence
ConclusionsWe developed a prognostic model using AI and preoperative MRI images of patients with lower rectal cancer who had not undergone preoperative treatment, and the model could be useful in comparison with pathological classification. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Evaluating the risk factors for the development of benign disorders of defaecation: a surgical perspective
ConclusionsSeveral risk factors for chronic constipation and faecal incontinence were selected by Delphi approach. These factors will feed forward into Bayesian models of disease prediction that combine data and expert knowledge. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Inflammatory biomarker signatures in post-surgical drain fluid may detect anastomotic leaks within 48  hours of colorectal resection
ConclusionsThis pilot study demonstrates that a simple immune signature in surgical drain fluid could accurately diagnose an anastomotic leak at 48  h postoperatively using instrumentation that is already widely available in hospital clinical laboratories. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Diagnostic accuracy of magnifying chromoendoscopy in the assessment of tumor invasion depth in early colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionMCE can differentiate CRC lesions with SMm from lesions without submucosal massive invasion (polyp, adenoma, dysplasia, intramucosal cancer, SMs) with high accuracy and it can guide assessment of invasion depth of SMm in T1 early CRCs to help us select the most appropriate treatment.

Efficacy of different surgical treatments for management of anal fistula: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionsThere is insufficient evidence in existing RCTs to recommend one treatment over another regarding their short and long-term efficacy in successfully facilitating healing of both simple and complex anal fistulae. However, LIFT appears to be associated with the least impairment of bowel continence, irrespective of AF classification. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Surgical treatment trends and outcomes for anal fistula: fistulotomy is still accurate and safe. Results from a nationwide observational study
ConclusionsAnal fistulotomy is the most used procedure for AF, especially for simple AF, with a favourable overall balance between healing and continence impairment. Sphincter-sparing or minimally invasive sphincter-sparing techniques resulted in lower rates of healing. In spite of their intended sphincter-sparing design, a certain degree of FI was observed for several of these techniques. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)
