RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study compares surgical and oncological outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD)-related colorectal cancer (CRC) to those with sporadic CRC. METHODS: Patients treated between 1983 and 2013 were matched by stage, age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), cancer site, and adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS: For stages I and II, 107 patients were matched (58.9% male, mean age 59 years, 59.8% with ASA score 3). Tumor sites included the right (17.7%), transverse (4.7%), left colon (15.9%), and rectum (61.7%). CD patients exhibited longer operative times, higher pT stages, and 2.60 times the odds of postoperative complications (p = 0.03). Overall and disease-free survival were similar. For stage III, 54 patients were matched (57.4% male, mean age 54 years, 46.3% with ASA score 3). The cancer site distribution was right (29.7%), transverse (3.7%), left colon (18.5%), and rectum (48.1%). CD patients had longer operative times, increased blood loss, more involved lymph nodes, higher pT- and pN-stages. The rates of postoperative complications were not different (p = 0.19). CD-related CRC patients had similar overall (p = 0.06), and local recurrence-free survival (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: Despite facing worse perioperative and pathological characteristics, survival differences in stages I-III CD-related CRC compared with sporadic CRC patients were not significantly different.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, and hormone-dependent disease that affects approximately 10% of women in reproductive age. Endometriosis is categorized into different types, as superficial, deep, and ovarian endometriosis. When deep endometriosis occurs, the sigmoid and rectum are often affected (Becker et al. in Hum Reprod Open, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1093/hropen/hoac009 ). In the following article, we aim to demonstrate stepwise surgery for stage IV endometriosis involving the anterior rectosigmoid. METHODS: We present the case of a 26-year-old obese (BMI 35.87) woman with severe posterior pelvic compartment endometriosis, persistent abdominal pain, and constipation. On preoperative MRI of the pelvis, a 13 cm conglomerate incorporating both ovaries (kissing ovaries), uterine serosa, and the anterior rectosigmoid was observed (Fig. 1). Accordingly, interdisciplinary laparoscopic surgery with a gynecologist and colorectal surgeon was planned. RESULTS: The total laparoscopic approach is demonstrated step by step in the video. CONCLUSIONS: Deep endometriosis is a rare condition. When involvement of other organs (e.g., the bowel) is suspected, preoperative endometriosis-specific imaging should be performed for optimal surgical planning. Experienced endometriosis multidisciplinary surgical teams can provide specialized and high-quality care for patients suffering from this debilitating disease (Luna Russo et al. in Minerva Ginecol, 2020, https://doi.org/10.23736/S0026-4784.20.04544-X ).

PURPOSE: Limited data exist regarding the surgical outcomes of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), commonly referred to as Ogilvie syndrome, in modern clinical practice. The prevailing belief is that surgery should be avoided due to previously reported high mortality rates. We aimed to describe the surgical results of ACPO treated within our institution. METHODS: Our prospectively maintained colorectal surgery registry was queried for patients diagnosed with ACPO, who underwent surgery between 2009 and 2022. Postoperative complications were graded according to Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification. The primary outcome was postoperative mortality. RESULTS: A total of 32 patients who underwent surgery for ACPO were identified. Overall, nonoperative therapy was initially administered to 21 patients (65.6%). The surgeries performed included total abdominal colectomy (15, 43.1%), ascending colectomy with end ileostomy (8, 25%), transverse colostomy (5, 15.6%), ileostomy and transverse colostomy (3, 9.4%), and Hartmann's operation (1, 3.1%). Severe postoperative complications (CD grade 3 or 4) occurred in five patients (15.6%). No recurrence of ACPO was observed and no patient required reoperation. The average postoperative length of stay was 14.5 days, 30-day mortality was 6.3% (n = 2), and 90-day mortality was 15.6% (n = 5) due to complications of underlying comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical treatment was effective for patients with ACPO refractory to medical therapy or presenting with acute complications. Although postoperative complications were frequent, both the 30- and 90-day mortality rates were lower than previously documented in the literature. Further investigations are warranted to determine the optimal surgical strategy, which may involve total or segmental colectomy, or diversion alone without resection.

ABTRACT: BACKGROUND: When constructing an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), the rectal cuff should ideally be 1-2 cm long to avoid subsequent complications. METHODS: We identified patients from our IBD center who underwent redo IPAA for a long rectal cuff. Long rectal cuff syndrome (LRCS) was defined as a symptomatic rectal cuff ≥ 4 cm. RESULTS: Forty patients met the inclusion criteria: 42.5% female, median age at redo surgery 42.5 years. The presentation was ulcerative proctitis in 77.5% of the cases and outlet obstruction in 22.5%. The index pouch was laparoscopically performed in 18 patients (45%). The median rectal cuff length was 6 cm. The pouch was repaired in 16 (40%) cases, whereas 24 (60%) required the creation of a neo-pouch. At the final pathology, the rectal cuff showed chronic active colitis in 38 (90%) cases. After a median follow-up of 34.5 (IQR 12-109) months, pouch failure occurred in 9 (22.5%) cases. The pouch survival rate was 78% at 3 years. Data on the quality of life were available for 11 (27.5%) patients at a median of 75 months after redo surgery. The median QoL score (0-1) was 0.7 (0.4-0.9). CONCLUSION: LRCS, a potentially avoidable complication, presents uniformly with symptoms of ulcerative proctitis or stricture. Redo IPAA was restorative for the majority.

BACKGROUND: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a technically demanding procedure with many potential complications. Rediversion with an ileostomy is often the first step in pouch salvage; however, it may not be clear if an individual patient will undergo subsequent pouch salvage surgery. We aimed to describe the indications and short- and long-term outcomes of rediversion in our pouch registry. METHODS: We queried our institutional pouch registry for patients who underwent index 2- or 3-stage IPAA and subsequent rediversion at our institution between 1985 and 2022. Pouches constructed elsewhere, rediverted elsewhere, or those patients who underwent pouch salvage/excision without prior rediversion were excluded. Patients were selected for pouch salvage according to the surgeon's discretion. RESULTS: Overall, 177 patients (3.4% of 5207 index pouches) were rediverted. At index pouch, median patient age was 32 years and 50.8% were women. Diagnoses included ulcerative colitis (86.4%), indeterminate colitis (6.2%), familial adenomatous polyposis (4.0%), and others (3.4%). Median time from prior ileostomy closure to rediversion was 7.2 years. Indications for rediversion were inflammatory in 98 (55.4%) and noninflammatory in 79 (44.6%) patients. After rediversion, 52% underwent pouch salvage, 30% had no further surgery, and 18.1% underwent pouch excision. The 5-year pouch survival rates for inflammatory and noninflammatory indications were 71.5% and 94.5%, respectively (Pâ =â .02). CONCLUSION: Rediversion of ileoanal pouches is a safe initial strategy to manage failing pouches and is a useful first step in pouch salvage in many patients. Subsequent salvage surgery for noninflammatory indications had a significantly higher pouch salvage rate than those rediverted for inflammatory complications.
Rediversion with an ileostomy was a safe, useful first step in pouch salvage, and subsequent salvage surgery for noninflammatory indications had a significantly higher pouch salvage rate than those rediverted for inflammatory complications.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sigmoid volvulus, a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by twisted bowel, often requires medical intervention, either through endoscopic or surgical means, to avoid potentially severe outcomes. This study examined the challenges elderly patients face in undergoing surgical treatment, encompassing both mortality and morbidity. Furthermore, it aimed to determine how medical practices and outcomes have changed over a period of 17 years. METHODS: We utilized data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project, which covers the period from 2005 to 2021, to identify patients who underwent left hemicolectomy for colonic volvulus. The patients were categorized into three age groups: < 60 years, 60-75 years, and > 75 years. We performed a meticulous logistic regression analysis, carefully adjusted for risk factors, to compare mortality, morbidity, and types of surgical treatment administered among the different age groups. RESULTS: Our study included 6775 patients. The breakdown of the patient population was as follows: 2067 patients were < 60 years of age, 2239 were between 60 and 75 years of age, and 2469 were > 75 years of age. The elderly cohort, those aged above 75 years, were predominantly male, had lower BMIs, underwent fewer laparoscopic surgeries, required more diverting stomas and end-ostomies, and had longer hospital stays. Notably, the elderly population faced a mortality risk that was 5.67 times (95% CI 3.64, 9.20) greater than that of their youngest counterparts, with this risk increasing by 10% (95% CI 1.06, 1.14) for each additional year of age. Furthermore, the odds of mortality associated with emergency surgery were 1.63 times (95% CI 1.21, 2.22) higher than those associated with elective surgery. The postoperative morbidity odds were also elevated for emergency surgeries, 1.30 times (95% CI 1.08, 1.58) greater than that for elective cases. Over the 17-year period, we observed a decline in mortality rates, an increase in the utilization of laparoscopic procedures, and overall stability of morbidity rates. CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight the increased vulnerability of patients over 75 years of age, who are not only at an elevated risk of mortality compared to their younger counterparts, but also a continuously increasing risk with age. By focusing on elective surgeries for younger patients and minimizing emergency surgeries for the elderly, it may be possible to reduce the mortality risk associated with surgical interventions in this population.

BACKGROUND: The mesentery has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of Crohn's disease (CD), and several techniques have been developed to target the mesentery to reduce its influence on recurrence. We aimed to describe short-term safety and feasibility after these approaches. METHODS: This is a comparative, retrospective, single-center cohort study of consecutive CD patients undergoing primary or redo ileocolic resection from 2015 to 2022 with Kono-S anastomosis (KSA), extended mesenteric excision (EME) only, or both: mesenteric excision and exclusion (MEE). RESULTS: 186 patients underwent KSA (n â= â74), EME (n â= â66), or MEE (n â= â46). The groups had comparable baseline characteristics. The MEE group operative time was longer (median: 187 vs. KSA 170, EME 152 âmin, p â< â0.01). Postoperatively, the groups had similar lengths of stay (median 4 days), readmissions (9.1 â%), major postoperative complications (6.5 â%), and anastomotic leaks (1.1 â%). CONCLUSION: Targeting the mesentery with novel surgical approaches for ileocolic Crohn's disease was safe and feasible for short-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. In cases of invisible or nonendoscopically resectable dysplasia found at colonoscopy, total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis can be offered with good long-term outcomes; however, little is known regarding cancer-related outcomes when dysplasia is found incidentally after surgery on final pathology. METHODS: Using our prospectively collected pouch registry, we identified patients who had preoperative colonic dysplasia or dysplasia found only after colectomy. Patients with cancer preoperatively or after colectomy were excluded. Included patients were divided into 3 groups: PRE (+preoperative biopsy, negative final pathology), BOTH (+preoperative biopsy and final pathology), and POST (negative preoperative biopsy, +final pathology). Long-term outcomes in the 3 groups were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 517 patients were included: PREâ =â 125, BOTHâ =â 254, POSTâ =â 137. After a median follow-up of 12 years (IQR 3-21), there were no differences in overall, disease-free, or pouch survival between groups. Cancer/dysplasia developed in 11 patients: 3 (2%) in the PRE, 5 (2%) in the BOTH, and 3 (2%) in the POST group. Only 1 cancer-related death occurred in the entire cohort (PRE group). Disease-free survival at 10 years was 98% for all groups (P = .97). Pouch survival at 10 years was 96% for PRE, 99% for BOTH, and 97% for POST (P = .24). CONCLUSIONS: The incidental finding of dysplasia on final pathology after proctocolectomy was not associated with worsened outcomes compared with preoperatively diagnosed dysplasia.
In this study on 517 patients with inflammatory bowel disease who underwent total colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with a finding of dysplasia in their colectomy specimen, outcomes were comparable regardless of known dysplasia vs incidental finding.
RESUMO
Investigations in a woman with prolonged symptoms of laxative-resistant constipation and recurrent rectal bleeding revealed a giant rectal vascular malformation. Colonoscopy and MRI were performed to rule out malignancy and determine differential diagnoses. Repeated tests were necessary due to inconclusive results. After a definite diagnosis, image-guided, transcutaneously administered sclerotherapy was used. The intervention and postoperative course were uneventful. A minimally invasive procedure relieved symptoms and improved quality of life.

PURPOSE: Endometriosis involving the colon and/or rectum (CRE) is operatively managed using various methods. We aimed to determine if a more limited excision is associated with 30-day complications, symptom improvement, and/or recurrence. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of consecutive cases of patients who underwent surgical management of CRE between 2010 and 2018. Primary outcomes were the associations between risk factors and symptom improvement, 30-day complications, and time to recurrence. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the independent risk factors. RESULTS: Of 2681 endometriosis cases, 142 [5.3% of total, mean age 35.4 (31.0; 39.0) years, 73.9% stage IV] underwent CRE excision (superficial partial = 66.9%, segmental = 27.5%, full thickness = 1.41%). Minor complications (14.8%) were associated with blood loss [150 (112; 288) vs. 100 (50.0; 200) mls, p = 0.046], Sigmoid involvement [45.5% vs. 12.2%, HR 5.89 (1.4; 22.5), p = 0.01], stoma formation [52.6% vs. 8.9%, HR 10.9 (3.65; 34.1), p < 0.001], and segmental resection [38.5% vs. 5.8%, HR 9.75 (3.54; 30.4), p < 0.001]. Superficial, partial-thickness resections were associated with decreased risk [(4.2% vs. 36.2%), HR 0.08 (0.02; 0.24), p < 0.001]. Factors associated with major complications (8.5%) were blood loss [250 (100; 400) vs. 100 (50.0; 200) mls, p = 0.03], open surgery [31.6% vs. 4.9%, HR 8.74 (2.36; 32.9), p = 0.001], stoma formation [42% vs. 3.3%, HR 20.3 (5.41; 90.0), p < 0.001], and segmental colectomy [28.2% vs. 0.9%, HR 34.6 (6.25; 876), p < 0.001]. Partial-thickness resection was associated with decreased risk ([.05% vs. 23.4%, HR 8.74 (2.36; 32.9), p < 0.001]. 19.1% experienced recurrence. Open surgery [5.2% vs. 21.3%, HR 0.14 (0.02; 1.05), p = 0.027] and superficial partial thickness excision [23.4% vs. 10.6%, HR 2.86 (1.08; 7.59), p = 0.027] were associated. Segmental resection was associated with decreased recurrence risk [7.6% vs. 23.5%, HR 0.27 (0.08; 0.91), p = 0.024]. CONCLUSION: Limiting resection to partial-thickness or full-thickness disc excision compared to bowel resection may improve complications but increase recurrence risk.

BACKGROUND: Pouch failure after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis occurs in 5% to 15% of cases, mostly due to septic complications. We aimed to determine if the timing of pouch failure impacted long-term outcomes for redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis after sepsis-related complications. METHOD: We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected institutional pouch database. Patients who underwent redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for septic complications between 1988 and 2020 were divided into an early (pouch failure within 6 months of stoma closure after index operation, or stoma never closed) and a late failure group (pouch failure after 6 months of stoma closure). The primary endpoint was pouch survival. RESULTS: In total, 335 patients were included: 241 (72%) in the early and 94 (28%) in the late failure group. The most common indication for failure was an anastomotic leak in the early failure group (163, 68%) and fistula in the late failure group (59, 63%), P < .001. Pouch survival at 3, 5, and 10 years was 77%, 75%, and 72% for the early and 79%, 75%, and 68% for the late failure group (P = .94). The most common reason for redo pouch failure was fistula in both groups. Quality of life was similar in both groups. In multivariate analysis, the only factor associated with pouch failure was the final diagnosis of Crohn's disease. CONCLUSION: Outcomes after redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were comparable between patients with early and late sepsis-related index pouch failure, with acceptable rates of long-term pouch survival and good quality of life.

PURPOSE: Previously considered a disease of old age, diverticular disease is increasingly prevalent in younger populations. Guidelines on surgical resection have shifted from recommending resection for all young onset patients to an individualized approach. Therefore, we aim to determine demographics and outcomes including radiographic and surgical recurrence rates in patients < 40 years old undergoing resection for diverticular disease. METHODS: A retrospective, single center study was performed. All patients ≤ 39 years undergoing operative intervention for left-sided diverticular disease between Jan 2010 and July 2017 were included. Recurrence was determined by individual review of imaging and operative reports. RESULTS: Overall, 147 (n = 107/72.8% male, mean age = 34.93 ± 4.12 years) patients were included. The majority were ASA 1 or 2 (n = 41/27.9% and n = 82/55.8%). The most common surgical indication was uncomplicated diverticulitis (n = 77, 52.4%) followed by perforation (n = 26/17.7%). The majority (n = 108/73.5%) of cases were elective. Seventy-nine (57.3%) of all cases were performed laparoscopically. Primary anastomosis without diversion was the most common surgical outcome (n = 108/73.5%). Median length of stay was 5 (4, 7) days. There was no mortality. There were three (2.0%) intraoperative and 38 (25.9%) postoperative complications. The most common complication was anastomotic leak (n = 6/4.1%). The majority (n = 5) of leaks occurred after elective surgery. Two neoplastic lesions (1.3% of cohort) were found (1 adenoma with low-grade dysplasia/1 polyp cancer). Over a mean follow-up of 96 (74, 123) months, only 2 (1.3%) patients experienced a surgical or radiological recurrence. CONCLUSION: Both neoplasia and recurrence after resection for diverticular disease in young onset patients are rare. Leaks after primary anastomosis even in the elective setting warrant careful consideration of a defunctioning ileostomy.

BACKGROUND: The symptoms of stricturing diverticulitis can overlap with those of colorectal cancer. Additionally, the stricture itself may mask a "hidden" colorectal cancer. We aimed to describe the demographics, operative details and outcomes, including occult colorectal cancer, in a cohort of consecutive resections for presumed diverticular strictures. METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, all patients undergoing resection for a presumed diverticular stricture between January 2010 and December 2015 were included. Preoperative imaging and colonoscopies were individually reviewed. Only patients with radiographically, endoscopically and/or intraoperatively benign-appearing strictures were included. RESULTS: One hundred fifty patients (72.7% female, mean age = 70.4 ± 11.8 years, 62.7% elective) were included. Only 34 (22.7%) had a complete preoperative colonoscopy. In 95 (63.6% of cohort) patients, the stricture was non-traversable colonoscopically. Overall, 47 (31.3%) patients did not have complete preoperative imaging or a colonoscopy. In total, 53.3% were open procedures and 62% had non-diverted primary anastomosis. Eleven (14.7%) underwent resection of adjacent organs (5 appendixes/5 right colons/7 fallopian tubes ± ovaries/3 small bowel resections/2 partial cystectomies/1 spleen). The median length of stay was 7 (5, 12.5) days. Only 2 cancers (1.3% of patients) involving the stricture (1 invasive moderately differentiated sigmoid adenocarcinoma/1 lymphoma) were found. Three additional cancers were found in organs involved in the inflammatory process (20% of concomitantly resected organs, 1 ovarian carcinoma/1 leukemia in a lymph node/1 appendiceal tumor). CONCLUSION: Despite approximately one-third of the cohort not having undergone successful preoperative colonoscopy or imaging, the rate of neoplasia involving diverticular strictures was only 1.3%. A relatively high cancer rate was found in concomitantly resected organs involved in the stricturing process.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins is an extremely rare non-thrombotic mesenteric veno-occlusive disease. The management of idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins is not well-established, and although surgery is the mainstay of treatment, the optimal operation remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review to assess the various surgical procedures and associated outcomes for patients with idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins. METHODS: A systematic search for articles published from 1946 to April 2022 in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cinahl, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases is reported. In addition, we report 4 cases of idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins managed at our institution until March 2023. RESULTS: A total of 53 studies and 88 patients with idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins were included. Most (82%) were male patients, with a mean age of 56.6 years old. The majority (99%) of patients required surgery. Most reports described the involvement of the rectum and sigmoid colon (81%). The most common surgical procedures were Hartmann's procedure (24%) and segmental colectomy (19%); completion proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis was performed in 3 (3.4%) cases. In 6 (6.8%) cases, idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins was suspected preoperatively and managed with elective surgery. Four (4.5%) complications were reported. Nearly all (99%) patients achieved remission with surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins is a rare pathologic entity infrequently suspected preoperatively and typically diagnosed after surgical resection. Surgical resection with Hartmann's procedure or segmental colectomy was most commonly performed, with completion proctectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis reserved for cases of extensive rectal involvement. Surgical resection was safe and effective, with a low risk of complications and recurrence. Surgical decision-making should be based on the extent of the disease at the time of presentation.

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that prolonging the interval to surgery in non-responders to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) could lead to worse oncologic outcomes. METHODS: Rectal adenocarcinoma patients with poor tumor response to nCRT (AJCC tumor regression grade 3) were selected. Oncologic outcomes were evaluated according to the time interval between completion of nCRT and surgery. RESULTS: Among 56 non-responders, 28 patients surgically treated ≥8 weeks after completion of nCRT had worse disease-free survival (31% vs. 49%, p â= â0.05) and worse overall survival (34% vs. 53%, p â= â0.02) compared to patients <8 weeks. Using the three different intervals (≥12 weeks, 6-12 weeks, and< 6 weeks), waiting longer was consistently associated with worse overall (23% vs. 48% vs. 63%, p â= â0.02) and worse cancer-specific survival (35% vs. 61% vs. 71%, p â= â0.04), respectively. CONCLUSION: For rectal cancer patients who are non-responders to nCRT, delay of surgery may lead to worse oncologic outcomes.

BACKGROUND: While ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the recommended way to restore intestinal continuity after total proctocolectomy, straight ileoanal anastomoses (SIAA) are still selectively performed, especially in the pediatric population. In case of SIAA failure, conversion to IPAA is possible, but reports on its outcomes are scarce. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected database on pelvic pouches, and identified patients with a SIAA that was converted to IPAA. Our aim was long-term functional outcomes. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were included (14 females, median age at SIAA 15 years, median age at conversion to IPAA 19 years). The indication for SIAA was ulcerative colitis in 17 (74%) cases, indeterminate colitis in 2 (9%) cases, and familial adenomatous polyposis in 4 (17%) cases. The indication for IPAA conversion was incontinence/poor quality of life in 12 (52%) cases, sepsis in 8 (35%) cases, anastomotic stricture in 2 (9%) cases, and prolapse in one (4%) case. The majority were diverted at IPAA conversion (22, 96%). Three (13%) patients never had stoma closure, due to patient wishes, failed healing of vaginal fistula, and pelvic sepsis, respectively. After a median follow up of 109 months (28-170), pouch failure occurred in 5 additional patients. Overall pouch survival was 71% at 5 years. Median quality of life was 8/10, of health 8/10, and of energy 7/10. Median satisfaction with surgery was 9.5/10. CONCLUSION: Conversion of SIAA to IPAA leads to acceptable long-term outcomes and good quality of life, and can safely be offered to patients with problems related to SIAA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

BACKGROUND: 3D laparoscopy has been proposed with the aim of improving the depth perception and overall operative performance. To aim of this study is to compare 3D laparoscopy with conventional 2D laparoscopy in terms of operative time and visual parameters. METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized, single-center trial designed to determine 10% reduction in the mean operative time. Ulcerative colitis patients >18 years of age who underwent laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy between 2015 and 2020 were included. Patients were randomized into 3D and 2D laparoscopy groups. Duration of operation and surgeons' evaluation of the visualization system were the primary outcomes. RESULTS: Fifty-three subjects (26 in 2D, 27 in 3D group) were included in the analysis, with 56% being male. Mean age and body mass index were 40 (16.3) years and 23.5 (4.7) kg/m2 , respectively. Twenty-five subjects underwent single port laparoscopic surgery, of whom 13 were in 3D and 12 in 2D group. Mean operative time was 75.3 (30.8) versus 82.7 (38.6) minutes (P = 0.4) for 3D and 2D groups, respectively. Operative times spent for individual steps were comparable. Post-operative minor complications (8 in 3D versus 8 in 2D, P = 1) and median number of times for scope maintenance were also similar between the groups. 69% of the visual evaluation survey results favoured 3D over 2D (P = 0.014). CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional laparoscopy for total colectomy in ulcerative colitis patients is safe and feasible option providing better visualization with no difference in operative time.

OBJECTIVE: We aim to review the incidence, location, and management of bowel endometriosis and demonstrate relevant surgical principles while emphasizing anatomic considerations for minimally invasive resection of ileocolic lesions. DESIGN: This video briefly reviews the background of bowel endometriosis and indications for surgical excision. We present a case of a patient diagnosed with symptomatic terminal ileum endometriosis and review the preoperative imaging. We demonstrate the steps of a medial-to-lateral surgical approach for ileocolic resection and highlight the relevant surgical anatomy. Institutional review board approval was not required. SETTING: This procedure was performed at a large academic institution with a multidisciplinary team of minimally invasive gynecologic and colorectal surgeons. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS: The case presented is a 44-year-old female with a known history of stage IV endometriosis. She presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have a small bowel obstruction from a 3-centimeter lesion thought to be an endometrioma. She failed conservative management and was thoroughly counseled about the need for surgical intervention. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging was performed for preoperative planning. INTERVENTION: Laparoscopic ileocolic resection is performed using a medial-to-lateral approach for excision of a symptomatic 3-centimeter ileocecal endometrioma. The following techniques are highlighted: (1) Evaluation of the entire small bowel starting at the ligament of Treitz (2) Entry into the retroperitoneum below the ileum with cranial and caudal dissection (3) Mobilization of the ascending colon to the level of the falciform ligament (4) Extension of the umbilical incision to perform an extracorporeal ileocecal resection and anastomosis CONCLUSION: The bowel is the most common extragenital site for endometriosis to occur, with the highest rate of lesions located in the rectosigmoid colon [1]. Lesions can be either superficial or deeply infiltrative and can lead to a range of symptoms. A serious sequela of bowel endometriosis includes bowel obstruction requiring surgical intervention.
