Exploring Symptom Domains of Postoperative Bowel Dysfunction by Integrating LARS and Wexner Scores: A Longitudinal Factor‐Analytic Study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Item‐level factor analysis of the LARS and Wexner scores in 320 patients undergoing sphincter‐preserving rectal resection identified three distinct symptom domains: incontinence, urgency/clustering, and gas control. These domains had different clinical determinants: radiotherapy was associated with greater severity of both incontinence and urgency ...

Clinical Implementation and Perioperative Outcomes of Robot‐Assisted Pelvic Exenteration for Primary Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Japanese Experience

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robot‐assisted pelvic exenteration (RPE) was performed with acceptable perioperative outcomes in selected patients with primary rectal cancer. It may serve as a complementary approach at institutions with sufficient experience in PE, whereas open surgery remains essential for extensive or technically demanding disease.

Short‐Term Outcomes of Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis Comparing Patients With and Without Preoperative Neoadjuvant Therapy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the association between preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and short‐term outcomes of transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent transanal total mesorectal excision at 26 Japanese institutions between 2012 and 2019.

Delayed Endoluminal Vacuum Therapy for Rectal Anastomotic Leaks after Rectal Resection in a Swine Model: A New Treatment Option

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science, 2014
Anastomotic leaks are a dreaded surgical complication following colorectal operations. Creation of a temporary proximal diverting ileostomy is used in high‐risk anastomoses, however, additional surgical risk is accumulated with its creation and reversal.

Local Recurrence and Oncological Outcomes After Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision With Intersphincteric Resection for Lower Rectal Cancer: A Nationwide Multicenter Cohort Study (Ta‐Ta‐Mi Study)

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The 3‐year local recurrence (LR), recurrence‐free survival, and overall survival rates were 7.3%, 79.5%, and 98.1%, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified circumferential resection margin (CRM)/radial margin (RM) positivity as an independent risk factor for LR.
