Complete mesocolic excision for right hemicolectomy: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionMeta-analysis of observational and randomised studies showed that right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision for primary right colon cancer improves oncologic results without increasing morbidity/mortality. These results need to be confirmed by high-quality evidence and randomised trials in selected patients to assess who may benefit from the procedure. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Low anterior resection syndrome and quality of life after intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer: a propensity score-matched study
ConclusionISR leads to increased bowel incontinence rate and increased anal pain, without affecting the grade of low anterior resection syndrome, fecal urgency, and clustering. LAR might be the preferred sphincteric-preserving approach when negative resection margins and a safe anastomosis are guaranteed. Patients should be fully informed about potential functional impairment after sphincter-preservation procedures. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Long-term oncological outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for right colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionRobotic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer is comparable with conventional laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in terms of long-term oncological survival. More prospective, multicenter, randomized trials are necessary to determine the oncologic safety of robotic right hemicolectomy. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Outcomes of gracilis muscle interposition for rectourethral fistulas caused by treatment of prostate cancer
ConclusionsAlthough the initial success rate of GMI was approximately 53%, it increased to 81% after additional procedures. Complications after GMI were mostly minor, with wound complications being the most common. Perianal wound dehiscence was significantly associated with failure of healing of RUF after GMI.

Mucosal vs. cutaneous advancement flaps for the treatment of chronic anal fissures: a randomized clinical trial
ConclusionMucosal and cutaneous anal advancement flap techniques are effective and comparable surgical procedures for the treatment of chronic anal fissures with minimal complications, fast healing process, and minimal postoperative pain and complications.Clinical trial IDIRCT20120129008861N4 (www.irct.ir).

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of different surgical procedures for patients with hemorrhoids: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionCurrent evidence suggests that L is best at reducing mean operative time and intraoperative bleeding, T-S is best at reducing mean length of stay, TST has the shortest time to first defecation, STARR is best at reducing recurrence rates, PPH is best at reducing postoperative anal stricture, and F is best at reducing postoperative pain after 24  h.

Preoperative predictors of success after transvaginal rectocoele repair
ConclusionFactors able to predict a less favourable outcome after TVRR in patients with concomitant ODS are previous proctological procedures, presence of urge AI, short anal canal length on anorectal physiology, seepage on defaecating proctography, use of transanal irrigation, absence of vaginal bulge symptoms and enterocoele repair during surgery. These information are important for a tailored decision making process and to manage patients ’ expectations before surgical repair. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Clinical characterization of patients with anal fistula during follow-up of anorectal abscess: a large population-based study
ConclusionsOne in five patients with an anorectal abscess will develop a fistula, with a higher likelihood in men. Fistula formation was strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Fissurectomy versus lateral internal sphincterotomy in the treatment of chronic anal fissures: no advantages in terms of post-operative incontinence
ConclusionsLateral internal sphincterotomy is confirmed as the preferred technique in term of healing rate. Fissurectomy did not offer a lower rate of de novo post-operative incontinence, but resulted in lower Vaizey scores in patients in whom this occurred. Satisfaction was lower in patients suffering a de novo post-operative incontinence after lateral internal sphincterotomy. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

Neorectal prolapse following proctectomy: a novel application of mesh sacral pexy
Abstract Neorectal prolapse following proctectomy for cancer has seldom been reported and treatment has mostly consisted in the resection of the prolapse via a perineal approach. Management of a patient with neorectal J-pouch prolapse using mesh sacral pexy via an abdominal approach is reported. By analogy with native rectal prolapse due to pelvic static disorders, laparoscopic mesh sacral pexy is likely to afford the same advantages of low morbidity and durability when applied to neorectal prolapse following rectal cancer surgery.
