Preventative strategies for low anterior resection syndrome
ConclusionsTo date, there is a limited evidence base for all preventative strategies including IONM, RAS, PFP and TAI. These strategies are limited by either access (IONM, RAS and PFP) or acceptability (PFP and TAI), which are both key to the success of any intervention. The results of ongoing trials will serve to assess acceptability, while technological advancement may improve access to some of the aforementioned strategies. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Cutting seton for the treatment of cryptoglandular fistula-in-ano: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOverall, this analysis shows that CS has comparable recurrence and incontinence rates to other modalities. However, this may be at the expense of more postoperative pain and extended healing time. Further comparative studies between CS and other modalities are warranted.

Surgical outcomes of minimally invasive trephine surgery for pilonidal sinus disease with and without laser therapy: a comparative study
ConclusionThe incorporation of laser therapy along with trephine/pit excision surgery significantly reduces the recurrence rate in patients with PNS. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Regional variations and deprivation are linked to poorer access to laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery: a national study in England
ConclusionsMIS has increased over time, with significant regional and socioeconomic variations. With rapid increases in robotic surgery, national strategies for procurement, implementation, equitable distribution and training must be created to avoid worsening health inequalities.

Gracilis muscle interposition for pouch-vaginal fistulas: a single-centre cohort study and literature review
ConclusionSurgical healing rates quoted in the literature for PVFs are approximately 50%. The initial healing rate was 22.2% and increased to 77.8% after subsequent surgeries, while it was 80% in patients with Crohn ’s disease. Given this, gracilis muscle interposition may have a role in the treatment of pouch-vaginal fistulas. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)
