OBJECTIVES: Classical Hirschsprung disease (HD) is defined by the absence of ganglion cells in the rectosigmoid colon. The diagnosis is made from rectal biopsy, which reveals the aganglionosis and the presence of cholinergic hyperinnervation. However...
Although circular staplers offer technical advancements over traditional hand-sewn techniques, their use remains challenging for unskilled users, necessitating substantial time and experience for mastery. In particular, it is challenging to apply a c...
BACKGROUND: With steep posterior anorectal angulation, transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) may have a risk of dissection in the wrong plane or starting higher up, resulting in leaving distal mesorectum behind. Although the distal mesorectal m...
BACKGROUND: Current evidence about intraoperative anastomotic testing after left-sided colorectal resections is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Indocyanine Green fluorescent angiography (ICG-FA) and air-leak te...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ultra-high-resolution acquisition and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on the image quality and diagnostic performance of T2-weighted periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines wit...
BACKGROUND: The surgical resection of rectal carcinoma is associated with a high risk of permanent stoma rate. Primary anastomosis rate is suggested to be higher in robot-assisted and transanal total mesorectal excision, but permanent stoma rate is u...
The surgical management of rectal cancer is shifting toward more widespread use of robotics across a spectrum of medical centers. There is evidence that the oncologic outcomes are equivalent to laparoscopic resections, and the post-operative outcomes...
