RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-port endorobotic submucosal dissection (ERSD) using the Da Vinci SP platform for the management of rectal neoplasms. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) offers a potential organ-sparing treatment for advanced colorectal neoplasms but demands high technical skill and a steep learning curve. Advances in semiflexible robotic platforms, such as the Da Vinci SP, promise to simplify this procedure, potentially offering improved outcomes for patients with benign rectal neoplasms. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 28 patients who underwent ERSD using the Da Vinci SP platform between 2020 and 2023 was performed. Patient demographics, lesion characteristics, procedure details, outcomes, and complications were reviewed. The primary endpoint was successful en-bloc resection. RESULTS: The cohort had a median age of 60.5 years and a median BMI of 28.2 kg/m², predominantly male(67.8%) with ASA categories 2 or 3(82%). Lesions had a median size of 38 mm and were located a median of 9 cm from the anal verge. The median procedure time was 87.5 minutes. En-bloc resection was achieved in all cases(100%), with no intraoperative complications or mortality. One patient experienced urinary retention, and one had late bleeding requiring blood transfusion. Pathology outcomes included 46.4% tubulovillous adenomas, 21.4% adenocarcinomas, and high-grade dysplasia in 53.6% of patients. CONCLUSION: Single-port ERSD using the Da Vinci SP platform is safe and feasible for the management of colorectal neoplasia, ensuring a high rate of en-bloc resection. It potentially offers advantages over conventional ESD, including shorter dissection times, although further studies are necessary for a definitive comparison.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Develop and validate a mortality risk calculator that could be utilized at the time of transfer, leveraging routinely collected variables that could be obtained by trained non-clinical transfer personnel. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: There are no objective tools to predict mortality at the time of inter-hospital transfer for Emergency General Surgery (EGS) patients that are "unseen" by the accepting system. METHODS: Patients transferred to general or colorectal surgery services from January 2016 through August 2022 were retrospectively identified and randomly divided into training and validation cohorts (3:1 ratio). The primary outcome was admission-related mortality, defined as death during the index admission or within 30 days post-discharge. Multiple predictive models were developed and validated. RESULTS: Among 4,664 transferred patients, 280 (6.0%) experienced mortality. Predictive models were generated utilizing 19 routinely collected variables; the penalized regression model was selected over other models due to excellent performance using only 12 variables. The model performance on the validating set resulted in an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, specificity, and balanced accuracy of 0.851, 0.90, 0.67, and 0.79, respectively. After bias correction, Brier score was 0.04, indicating a strong association between the assigned risk and the observed frequency of mortality. CONCLUSION: A risk calculator using twelve variables has excellent predictive ability for mortality at the time of interhospital transfer among "unseen" EGS patients. Quantifying a patient's mortality risk at the time of transfer could improve patient triage, bed and resource allocation, and standardize care.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate fecal incontinence and defecatory, urinary, and sexual functional outcomes after taTME. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Proctectomy for rectal cancer may result in alterations in defecatory, urinary, and sexual function that persist beyond 12 months. The recent multicenter Phase II taTME trial demonstrated the safety of taTME in patients with stage I-III tumors. METHODS: Prospectively registered self-reported questionnaires were collected from 100 taTME patients. Fecal continence (FIQL, Wexner), defecatory function (COREFO), urinary function (IPSS), and sexual function (FSFI-female, IIEF-male) were assessed preoperatively (PQ), 3-4 months post-ileostomy closure (FQ1), and 12-18 months post-taTME (FQ2). RESULTS: Among 83 patients who responded at all three time points, FIQL, Wexner, and COREFO significantly worsened post-ileostomy closure. Between FQ1 and FQ2, FIQL lifestyle and coping, Wexner, and COREFO incontinence, social impact, frequency, and need for medication significantly improved, while FIQL depression and embarrassment did not change. IPSS did not change relative to preoperative scores. For females, FSFI declined for desire, orgasm, and satisfaction between PQ and FQ1, and did not improve between FQ1 and FQ2. In males, IIEF declined with no change between FQ1 and FQ2. CONCLUSIONS: Although taTME resulted in initial decline in defecatory function and fecal continence, most functional domains improved by 12 months after ileostomy closure, without returning to preoperative status. Urinary function was preserved while sexual function declined without improvement by 18 months post-taTME. Our results address patient expectations and inform shared decision-making regarding taTME.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Fibroblasts play a key role in stricture formation in Crohn's disease (CD) but understanding its pathogenesis requires a systems-level investigation to uncover new treatment targets. We studied full-thickness CD tissues to characterize fibroblast heterogeneity and function by generating the first single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) atlas of strictured bowel and providing proof of principle for therapeutic target validation. METHODS: We performed scRNAseq of 13 fresh full-thickness CD resections containing noninvolved, inflamed nonstrictured, and strictured segments as well as 7 normal non-CD bowel segments. Each segment was separated into mucosa/submucosa or muscularis propria and analyzed separately for a total of 99 tissue samples and 409,001 cells. We validated cadherin-11 (CDH11) as a potential therapeutic target by using whole tissues, isolated intestinal cells, NanoString nCounter, next-generation sequencing, proteomics, and animal models. RESULTS: Our integrated dataset revealed fibroblast heterogeneity in strictured CD with the majority of stricture-selective changes detected in the mucosa/submucosa, but not the muscle layer. Cell-cell interaction modeling revealed CXCL14+ as well as MMP/WNT5A+ fibroblasts displaying a central signaling role in CD strictures. CDH11, a fibroblast cell-cell adhesion molecule, was broadly expressed and up-regulated, and its profibrotic function was validated using NanoString nCounter, RNA sequencing, tissue target expression, in vitro gain- and loss-of-function experiments, proteomics, and knock-out and antibody-mediated CDH11 blockade in experimental colitis. CONCLUSIONS: A full-thickness bowel scRNAseq atlas revealed previously unrecognized fibroblast heterogeneity and interactions in CD strictures and CDH11 was validated as a potential therapeutic target. These results provide a new resource for a better understanding of CD stricture formation and open potential therapeutic developments.

BACKGROUND: Perineal proctosigmoidectomy (Altemeier) is a surgical procedure that is commonly utilized for the treatment of rectal prolapse. However, there is a diverse range of recurrence rates following the Altemeier procedure repair that have been reported in the literature. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify primary and subsequent recurrence rates following perineal proctosigmoidectomy, as well as to define potential risk factors for recurrence. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTINGS: Conducted at 6 hospitals affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic. PATIENTS: Included patients older than 18 years who were treated with Altemeier procedure for rectal prolapse between 2007 and 2022. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcomes were rates of primary and subsequent recurrences. Secondary outcomes included potential risk factors for recurrence previously mentioned in the literature. RESULTS: We identified 182 patients, of whom 95.1% were female with a mean age of 79 years (SD 11.4). Overall, 92.1% were elective, and 14.3% had previously undergone prolapse repairs (Delorme, Thiersch, abdominal suture rectopexy, and abdominal mesh rectopexy). At a mean follow-up period of 27.5 months (SD 45.7), 37.9% of patients experienced recurrence, with 16.5% of patients having multiple recurrences. A subsequent Altemeier procedure was performed in 72.5% of instances. Other treatments included Delorme, abdominal suture rectopexy, abdominal mesh rectopexy, or conservative management. This study identified connective tissue disorders and time since surgery as significant risk factors for recurrence. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective design and varying follow-up periods. CONCLUSION: Perineal proctosigmoidectomy is associated with a significant risk of recurrence. The risk of recurrence increased with the presence of a connective tissue disorder and in proportion to the elapsed time since surgery. These discoveries assist healthcare professionals in counseling and managing patients who undergo perineal proctosigmoidectomy for rectal prolapse. See Video Abstract.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Up to 20% to 40% cases of redo IPAA procedures will result in pouch failure. Whether to offer a second redo procedure to maintain intestinal continuity remains a controversial decision. OBJECTIVE: To report our institutional experience of second redo IPAA procedures. DESIGN: This was a retrospective review. Patient-reported outcomes were compared between patients undergoing second redo procedures and those undergoing first redo procedures using propensity score matching to balance the 2 cohorts. SETTINGS: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Patients who underwent second redo IPAA procedures between 2004 and 2021 were included in this study. INTERVENTIONS: Second redo IPAA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pouch survival and patient-reported outcomes were measured using the Cleveland Global Quality of Life survey. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were included (65% women), 20 (87%) with an index diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and 3 (13%) with indeterminate colitis. The final diagnosis was changed to Crohn's disease in 8 (35%) cases. The indication for pouch salvage was the same for the first and second redo procedures in 21 (91%) cases: 20 (87%) patients had both redo IPAAs for septic complications. After a median follow-up of 39 months (interquartile range, 18.5-95.5 months), pouch failure occurred in 8 (30%) cases (7 cases due to sepsis, of whom 3 never had their stoma closed, and 1 case due to poor function); all patients who experienced pouch failure underwent the second redo procedure due to septic complications. Overall pouch survival at 3 years was 76%: 62.5% in patients with a final diagnosis of Crohn's disease versus 82.5% in patients with ulcerative/indeterminate colitis ( p = 0.09). Overall quality-of-life score (0-1) was 0.6 (0.5-0.8). Quality of life and functional outcomes were comparable between first and second redo procedures, except incontinence, which was higher in second redo procedures. LIMITATIONS: Single-center retrospective review. CONCLUSIONS: A second pouch salvage procedure may be offered with acceptable outcomes to selected patients with high motivation to keep intestinal continuity. See Video Abstract .

El diagnóstico final se cambió a enfermedad de Crohn en ocho (35%) casos. La indicación para el rescate de la bolsa fue la misma para la primera y segunda re-confeccion en 21 (91%) casos: 20 (87%) pacientes tuvieron ambas re-confecciones de la anastomosis anal con bolsa ileal por complicaciones sépticas. Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 39 meses (RIC 18,5 - 95,5), se produjo falla de la bolsa en 8 (30%) casos (7 casos debido a sepsis, de los cuales 3 nunca cerraron el estoma y 1 caso debido a una mala función); todos los pacientes que experimentaron falla de la bolsa se sometieron a una segunda re-confeccion debido a complicaciones sépticas. La supervivencia global de la bolsa a los 3 años fue del 76%: 62,5% en pacientes con diagnóstico final de enfermedad de Crohn, versus 82,5% en colitis ulcerativa/indeterminada ( p = 0,09). La puntuación general de calidad de vida (0 -1) fue 0,6 (0,5 - 0,8). La calidad de vida y los resultados funcionales fueron comparables entre la primera y la segunda re-confeccion, excepto la incontinencia, que fue mayor en la segunda re-confeccion.LIMITACIONES:Revisión retrospectiva de un solo centro.CONCLUSIONES:Se puede ofrecer un segundo procedimiento de rescate de la bolsa con resultados aceptables a pacientes seleccionados con alta motivación para mantener la continuidad intestinal.

BACKGROUND: Restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA is the surgical treatment of choice for patients requiring surgery for IBD and, less frequently, for other pathologies. Pouch prolapse is a rare complication that compromises pouch function and negatively affects patients' quality of life. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe our experience from a single high-volume center in this infrequent condition. DESIGN: Restrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained, Institutional Review Board-approved database. SETTINGS: All consecutive eligible patients with IPAA and pouch prolapse were identified from 1990 to 2021. PATIENTS: Patients with full-thickness prolapse treated by pouch pexy were included. INTERVENTIONS: Pouch pexy (with/without mesh). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Success rate of pouch pexy, defined as no recurrence of prolapse. RESULTS: A total of 4791 patients underwent IPAA; 7 (0.1%) were diagnosed with full-thickness prolapse. An additional 18 patients who underwent IPAA and had full-thickness prolapse were referred from outside institutions. Among 25 included patients, 16 (64.0%) were women, and the overall mean age was 35.6 ± 13.4 years. The time interval from initial pouch formation to prolapse was 4.2 (interquartile range, 1.1-8.5) years. Nine patients (36.0%) underwent previous treatment for prolapse. All patients presented with symptoms and physical examination compatible with full-thickness prolapse. Twenty patients (80.0%) underwent surgical pouch pexy without mesh and 5 (20.0%) had pouch pexy with mesh placement. A diverting ileostomy was performed in 1 patient (4.0%) before pouch pexy and in 8 patients (32.0%) at the time of surgical prolapse correction. After surgery, recurrent prolapse was noted in 3 patients (12.0%) at a median of 6.9 (interquartile range, 5.2-8.3) months. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective study, small sample size thus prone to selection, and referral biases, which may limit the generalizability of our findings. CONCLUSION: Pouch prolapse can be effectively treated with salvage surgery. Surgical intervention is safe and provides acceptable outcomes. See Video Abstract. CIRUGA DE RESCATE UNA TERAPIA EFICAZ EN EL MANEJO DEL PROLAPSO DE LA BOLSA ILEOANAL: ANTECEDENTES:La proctocolectomía restauradora con anastomosis reservorio ileoanal es el tratamiento quirúrgico de elección para aquellos pacientes que requieren cirugía por enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal y, con menor frecuencia, por otras patologías. El prolapso de la bolsa es una complicación rara que compromete la función de la bolsa y afecta de manera negativa la calidad de vida de los pacientes.OBJETIVO:Describir nuestra experiencia de un solo centro de alto volumen en esta condición poco frecuente.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de una base de datos mantenida prospectivamente aprobada por el IRB.AJUSTES/PACIENTES:Fueron identificados y elegibles de manera consecutiva todos los pacientes con anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal y prolapso de bolsa entre 1990 y 2021. Se incluyeron pacientes con prolapso de bolsa de espesor total tratados con pexia.INTERVENCIONES:Pexia de la bolsa (con/sin malla).PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Tasa de éxito de la pexia de la bolsa, definida como ausencia de recurrencia del prolapso.RESULTADOS:Un total de 4.791 pacientes fueron sometidos a anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal; siete (0,1%) fueron diagnosticados con prolapso de espesor total. Otros 18 pacientes con anastomosis de reservorio ileoanal fueron derivados de instituciones externas. De entre los 25 pacientes incluidos, 16 (64,0 %) eran mujeres y la edad media promedio fue de 35,6+/-13,4 años. El intervalo de tiempo desde la creación inicial de la bolsa hasta el prolapso fue de 4,2 (IQR 1,1-8,5) años. Nueve (36,0 %) pacientes fueron sometidos a tratamiento previo para el prolapso (fisioterapia n = 4, pexia de la bolsa n = 2, pexia de la bolsa con malla n = 2, resección de la mucosa n = 1). Todos los pacientes presentaron síntomas y exploración física compatibles con prolapso de espesor total. Veinte (80,0%) pacientes se sometieron a pexia de bolsa quirúrgica sin malla y cinco (20,0%) se sometieron a pexia de bolsa con colocación de malla. Se realizó una ileostomía de derivación en un (4,0%) paciente antes de la pexia de la bolsa y en ocho (32,0%) pacientes en el momento de la corrección quirúrgica del prolapso. Posterior a la cirugía, se observó prolapso recurrente en tres pacientes (12,0 %) con una mediana de 6,9 (IQR 5,2-8,3) meses.LIMITACIONES:Estudio retrospectivo, pequeño tamaño de muestra, por lo tanto, propenso a sesgos de selección y referencia que pueden limitar la generalización de nuestros hallazgos.CONCLUSIÓN:El prolapso de la bolsa ileoanal puede tratarse de manera efectiva mediante la cirugía de rescate. La intervención quirúrgica es segura y proporciona resultados aceptables. (Traducción-Dr. Mauricio Santamaria ).

BACKGROUND: Segmental colectomy in ulcerative colitis is performed in select patients who may be at increased risk for postoperative morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To identify patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent segmental colectomy and assess their postoperative and long-term outcomes. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. SETTING: A tertiary care IBD center. PATIENTS: Patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent surgery between 1995 and 2022. INTERVENTION: Segmental colectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Postoperative complications, early and late colitis, metachronous cancer development, completion proctocolectomy-free survival rates, and stoma at follow-up. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients were included (20 [36.4%] women; age 67.8 (57.4-77.1) years at surgery; BMI 27.7 (24.2-31.1) kg/m 2 ; median follow-up 37.3 months). Thirty-two patients (58.2%) had ASA score of 3, 48 (87.3%) had at least 1 comorbidity, and 48 (87.3%) had Mayo endoscopic subscores of 0 to 1. Patients underwent right hemicolectomy (n = 28; 50.9%), sigmoidectomy (n = 17; 30.9%), left hemicolectomy (6; 10.9%), low anterior resection (n = 2; 3.6%), or a nonanatomic resection (n = 2; 3.6%) for endoscopically unresectable polyps (n = 21; 38.2%), colorectal cancer (n = 15; 27.3%), symptomatic diverticular disease (n = 13; 23.6%), and stricture (n = 6; 10.9%). Postoperative complications occurred in 16 patients (29.1%; n = 7 [12.7%] Clavien-Dindo class III-V). Early and late postoperative colitis rates were 9.1% and 14.5%, respectively. Metachronous cancer developed in 1 patient. Four patients (7.3%) underwent subsequent completion proctocolectomy with ileostomy. Six patients (10.9%) had a stoma at follow-up. Two- and 5-year completion proctocolectomy-free survival rates were 91% and 88%, respectively. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective study and small sample size. CONCLUSIONS: Segmental colectomy in ulcerative colitis is associated with low postoperative complication rates, symptomatic early colitis and late colitis rates, metachronous cancer development, and the need for subsequent completion proctocolectomy. Therefore, it can be safe to consider select patients, such as the elderly with quiescent colitis and other indications, for colectomy. See Video Abstract .

La puntuación ASA fue III en 32 (58,2%) pacientes, 48 (87,3%) tenían al menos una comorbilidad y 48 (87,3%) tenían una subpuntuación endoscópica de Mayo de 0-1. Los pacientes fueron sometidos a hemicolectomía derecha (28, 50,9%), sigmoidectomía (17, 30,9%), hemicolectomía izquierda (6, 10,9%), resección anterior baja (2, 3,6%) o resección no anatómica (2, 3,6%) para; pólipos irresecables endoscópicamente (21, 38,2%), cáncer colorrectal (15, 27,3%), enfermedad diverticular sintomática (13, 23,6%) y estenosis (6, 10,9%). Se produjeron complicaciones postoperatorias en 16 (29,1%) pacientes [7 (12,7%) Clavien-Dindo Clase III-V]. Las tasas de colitis posoperatoria temprana y tardía fueron del 9,1% y el 14,5%, respectivamente. Un paciente desarrolló cáncer metacrónico. A 4 (7,3%) pacientes se les realizó posteriormente proctocolectomía completa con ileostomía. Seis (10,9%) pacientes tenían estoma en el seguimiento. Las tasas de supervivencia sin proctocolectomía completa a dos y cinco años fueron del 91% y 88%, respectivamente.LIMITACIONES:Estudio retrospectivo, tamaño de muestra pequeño.CONCLUSIONES:La colectomía segmentaria en la colitis ulcerosa se asocia con bajas tasas de complicaciones postoperatorias, tasas de colitis sintomática temprana y tasas de colitis tardía, desarrollo de cáncer metacrónico y la necesidad de una posterior proctocolectomía completa. Por lo tanto, puede ser seguro considerar pacientes seleccionados, como los ancianos con colitis inactiva y otras indicaciones de colectomía. (Traducción-Dr. Yolanda Colorado ).

BACKGROUND: Medically refractory ulcerative colitis necessitates surgical intervention, with total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy being a definitive treatment. The comparison between single-port and multiport laparoscopic surgery outcomes remains underexplored. OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical outcomes of single-port versus multiport laparoscopic surgery in patients undergoing total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis comparing single-port to multiport surgery in patients with ulcerative colitis from 2010 to 2020. Patients were propensity score-matched 3:1 (multiport to single-port) on baseline characteristics. SETTINGS: Single-center academic hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 756 patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis who underwent multiport vs single-port total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy from 2010 to 2020 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Binary outcomes were compared using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a subset analysis was conducted for postoperative stump leak based on stump implantation during surgery. These metrics were compared between the single-port and multiport groups to assess the differences in surgical outcomes. RESULTS: The multiport and single-port groups included 642 and 114 patients, respectively. The matched cohort included 342 multiports and 114 single ports. We observed a statistically significant difference in mean operation time, with the single-port procedure taking 43 minutes less than the multiport laparoscopy. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in postoperative stump leaks, postoperative ileus, stoma site complications, postoperative readmission within 30 days, postoperative reoperation within 30 days, and subsequent IPAA surgery. In the subset analysis, stump implantation was associated with a higher risk of stump leak in the multiport group. The single-port group had a shorter hospital stay. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective nature and being conducted at a single center. CONCLUSION: Single-incision laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy in the treatment of mucosal ulcerative colitis is a safe, effective, and efficient approach. In our cohort, single-incision laparoscopy has had shorter operation times and better overall length of stay compared with the multiport approach. Taking into account a less invasive approach, decreased abdominal trauma, and faster recovery, single-port surgery is a viable alternative to multiport surgery. See Video Abstract . UN ANLISIS EMPAREJADO POR PUNTUACIN DE PROPENSIN DE LA COLECTOMA ABDOMINAL TOTAL LAPAROSCPICA CON PUERTO NICO VERSUS PUERTO MLTIPLE CON ILEOSTOMA TERMINAL PARA LA COLITIS ULCEROSA MDICAMENTE REFRACTARIA: ANTECEDENTES:La colitis ulcerosa (CU) médicamente refractaria requiere una intervención quirúrgica, siendo la colectomía abdominal total con ileostomía terminal un tratamiento definitivo. La comparación entre los resultados de la cirugía laparoscópica con puerto único y con puerto múltiple aún no se ha explorado lo suficiente.OBJETIVO:Comparar los resultados quirúrgicos de la cirugía laparoscópica con puerto único versus con puerto múltiple en pacientes sometidos a colectomía abdominal total con ileostomía terminal para CU médicamente refractaria.DISEÑO:Un análisis retrospectivo que comparó la cirugía de puerto único con la de puerto múltiple en pacientes con CU de 2010 a 2020. Los pacientes fueron emparejados por puntuación de propensión 3:1 (puerto múltiple a puerto único) según las características iniciales.AJUSTES:Hospital académico unicentrico.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Los resultados binarios se compararon utilizando un modelo de regresión logística multivariable y se realizó un análisis de subconjunto para la fuga postoperatoria del muñón basado en la implantación del muñón durante la cirugía. Estas métricas se compararon entre los grupos de puerto único y de puerto múltiple para evaluar las diferencias en los resultados quirúrgicos.RESULTADOS:Los grupos de puerto único y multipuerto incluyeron 642 y 114 pacientes, respectivamente. La cohorte emparejada incluyó 342 puertos múltiples y 114 puertos únicos. Observamos una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en el tiempo medio de operación, ya que el procedimiento de puerto único duró 43 minutos menos que la laparoscopia de puerto múltiple. No hubo diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos en las fugas del muñón posoperatorio, el íleo posoperatorio, las complicaciones del sitio del estoma, el reingreso posoperatorio dentro de los 30 días, la reoperación posoperatoria dentro de los 30 días y la cirugía IPAA posterior. En el análisis de subconjunto, la implantación del muñón se asoció con un mayor riesgo de fuga del muñón en el grupo multipuerto. El grupo de puerto único tuvo una estancia hospitalaria más corta.LIMITACIONES:Carácter retrospectivo, realizándose en un único centro.CONCLUSIÓN:La colectomía abdominal total laparoscópica de incisión única en el tratamiento de la colitis ulcerosa mucosa es un enfoque seguro, eficaz y eficiente. En nuestra cohorte, en comparación con el abordaje multipuerto, la laparoscopia de incisión única ha mostrado tiempos de operación más cortos y una mejor duración total de la estancia hospitalaria. Teniendo en cuenta un enfoque menos invasivo, un menor traumatismo abdominal y una recuperación más rápida, la cirugía con puerto único es una alternativa viable a la cirugía con puertos múltiples.

BACKGROUND: Advanced endoscopic resection techniques are used to treat colorectal neoplasms that are not amenable to conventional colonoscopic resection. Literature regarding the predictors of the outcomes of advanced endoscopic resections, especially from a colorectal surgical unit, is limited. OBJECTIVE: To determine the predictors of short-term and long-term outcomes after advanced endoscopic resections. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. SETTINGS: Tertiary care center. PATIENTS: Patients who underwent advanced endoscopic resections for colorectal neoplasms from November 2011 to August 2022. INTERVENTIONS: Endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection, and combined endoscopic laparoscopic surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Predictors of en bloc and R0 resection, bleeding, and perforation were determined using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Cox regression models were used to determine the predictors of tumor recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 1213 colorectal lesions from 1047 patients were resected (median age 66 [interquartile range, 58-72] years, 484 women [46.2%], median BMI 28.6 [interquartile range, 24.8-32.6]). Most neoplasms were in the proximal colon (898; 74%). The median lesion size was 30 (interquartile range, 20-40; range, 0-120) mm. Nine hundred eleven lesions (75.1%) underwent previous interventions. The most common Paris and Kudo classifications were 0 to IIa flat elevation (444; 36.6%) and IIIs (301; 24.8%), respectively. En bloc and R0 resection rates were 56.6% and 54.3%, respectively. Smaller lesions, rectal location, and procedure type (endoscopic submucosal dissection) were associated with significantly higher en bloc and R0 resection rates. Bleeding and perforation rates were 5% and 6.6%, respectively. Increased age was a predictor for bleeding (OR 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09; p < 0.0001). Lesion size was a predictor for perforation (OR 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03; p = 0.03). The tumor recurrence rate was 6.6%. En bloc (HR 1.41; 95% CI, 1.05-1.93; p = 0.02) and R0 resection (HR 1.49; 95% CI, 1.11-2.06; p = 0.008) were associated with decreased recurrence risk. LIMITATIONS: Single-center, retrospective study. CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes of advanced endoscopic resections can be predicted by patient-related and lesion-related characteristics. See Video Abstract . PREDICTORES DE LA RESECCION R, EN BLOQUE Y LAS COMPLICACIONES POR RESECCIONES ENDOSCPICAS AVANZADAS EN CASOS DE NEOPLASIA COLORRECTAL RESULTADOS DE PROCEDIMIENTOS: ANTECEDENTES:Las técnicas avanzadas de resección endoscópica se utilizan para el tratamiento de neoplasias colorrectales que no son susceptibles de resección colonoscópica convencional. La literatura sobre los predictores de los resultados de las resecciones endoscópicas avanzadas, especialmente en una unidad de cirugía colorrectal, es limitada.OBJETIVO:Determinar los predictores de resultados a corto y largo plazo después de resecciones endoscópicas avanzadas.DISEÑO:Serie de casos retrospectivos.LUGAR:Centro de tercer nivel de atención.PACIENTES:Pacientes sometidos a resecciones endoscópicas avanzadas por neoplasias colorrectales desde noviembre de 2011 hasta agosto de 2022.INTERVENCIÓNES:Resección endoscópica de la mucosa, disección endoscópica submucosa (ESD), ESD híbrida, cirugía laparoscópica endoscópica combinada.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Los predictores de resección en bloque y R0, sangrado y perforación se determinaron mediante modelos de regresión logística univariables y multivariables. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión de Cox para determinar los predictores de recurrencia del tumor.RESULTADOS:Se resecaron 1.213 lesiones colorrectales en 1.047 pacientes [edad media 66 (58-72) años, 484 (46,2%) mujeres, índice de masa corporal medio 28,6 (24,8-32,6) kg/m 2 ]. La mayoría de las neoplasias se encontraban en el colon proximal (898, 74%). El tamaño medio de la lesión fue de 30mm (RIC: 20-40, rango: 0-120). 911 (75,1%) lesiones tenían intervenciones previas. Las clasificaciones de París y Kudo más comunes fueron 0-IIa elevación plana (444, 36,6%) y III (301, 24,8%), respectivamente. Las tasas de resección en bloque y R0 fueron del 56,6% y 54,3%, respectivamente. Las lesiones más pequeñas, la ubicación rectal y el tipo de procedimiento (ESD) se asociaron con tasas de resección en bloque y R0 significativamente más altas. Las tasas de sangrado y perforación fueron del 5% y 6,6%, respectivamente. La edad avanzada [1,06 (1,03-1,09), p < 0,0001] fue un predictor de sangrado. El tamaño de la lesión [1,02 (1,00-1,03), p = 0,03] fue un predictor de perforación. La tasa de recurrencia del tumor fue del 6,6%. En bloque [HR 1,41 (IC 95% 1,05-1,93), p = 0,02] y la resección R0 [HR 1,49 (IC 95% 1,11-2,06), p = 0,008] se asociaron con un menor riesgo de recurrencia.LIMITACIONES:Estudio unicéntrico, retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:Los resultados de las resecciones endoscópicas avanzadas pueden predecirse según las características del paciente y de la lesión.

BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration issued a black box warning for increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis exposed to tofacitinib. There are limited data regarding postoperative venous thromboembolism risk in patients with ulcerative colitis exposed to tofacitinib. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether preoperative exposure to tofacitinib is associated with increased odds of postoperative venous thromboembolism. DESIGN: Retrospective review. SETTINGS: Tertiary academic medical center. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients exposed to tofacitinib within 4 weeks before total abdominal colectomy or total proctocolectomy, with or without ileostomy, from 2014 to 2021, matched 1:2 for tofacitinib exposure or no exposure. INTERVENTION: Tofacitinib exposure versus no exposure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ninety-day postoperative venous thromboembolism rate. RESULTS: Forty-two patients with tofacitinib exposure and 84 case-matched patients without tofacitinib exposure underwent surgery for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. Nine (22.0%) tofacitinib-exposed patients and 7 (8.5%) unexposed patients were diagnosed with venous thromboembolism within 90 days of surgery. In univariate logistic regression, patients exposed to tofacitinib had 3.01 times increased odds of developing venous thromboembolism within 90 days after surgery compared to unexposed patients ( p = 0.04; 95% CI, 1.03-8.79). Other venous thromboembolism risk factors were not significantly associated with venous thromboembolisms. Venous thromboembolisms in both groups were most commonly portomesenteric vein thromboses (66.7% in the tofacitinib-exposed group and 42.9% in the unexposed group) and were diagnosed at a mean of 23.2 days (range, 3-90 days) postoperatively in the tofacitinib-exposed group and 7.9 days (1-19 days) in the unexposed group. There were no statistically significant differences in location or timing between the 2 groups. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective nature of the study and associated biases. Reliance on clinically diagnosed venous thromboembolisms may underreport the true incidence rate. CONCLUSIONS: Tofacitinib exposure before surgery for medically refractory ulcerative colitis is associated with 3 times increased odds of venous thromboembolism compared with patients without tofacitinib exposure.

TOFACITINIB SE ASOCIA CON UN MAYOR RIESGO DE TROMBOEMBOLISMO VENOSO POSTOPERATORIO EN PACIENTES CON COLITIS ULCEROSA: ANTECEDENTES:En 2019, la FDA emitió una advertencia de recuadro negro sobre un mayor riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso en pacientes con artritis reumatoide expuestos a tofacitinib. Hay datos limitados sobre el riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso postoperatorio en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa expuestos a tofacitinib.OBJETIVO:Evaluar si la exposición preoperatoria a tofacitinib se asocia con mayores probabilidades de tromboembolismo venoso postoperatorio.DISEÑO:Revisión retrospectiva.LUGARES:Centro médico académico terciario.PACIENTES:Pacientes consecutivos expuestos a tofacitinib dentro de las 4 semanas previas a la colectomía abdominal total o proctocolectomía total, con o sin ileostomía, entre 2014 y 2021, emparejados 1:2 para exposición a tofacitinib o ninguna exposición.INTERVENCIÓN(S):Exposición a tofacitinib versus ninguna exposición.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Tasa de tromboembolismo venoso posoperatorio a los 90 días.RESULTADOS:Cuarenta y dos pacientes con exposición a tofacitinib y 84 pacientes de casos similares sin exposición a tofacitinib se sometieron a cirugía por colitis ulcerosa médicamente refractaria. Nueve (22,0%) pacientes expuestos a tofacitinib y 7 (8,5%) pacientes no expuestos fueron diagnosticados con tromboembolismo venoso dentro de los 90 días posteriores a la cirugía. En la regresión logística univariada, los pacientes expuestos a tofacitinib tuvieron 3,01 veces más probabilidades de desarrollar un tromboembolismo venoso dentro de los 90 días posteriores a la cirugía en comparación con los no expuestos ( p = 0,04, IC del 95 %: 1,03-8,79). Otros factores de riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso no se asociaron significativamente con el tromboembolismo venoso. Los tromboembolismos venosos en ambos grupos fueron más comúnmente trombosis de la vena portomesentérica (66,7% en los expuestos a tofacitinib y 42,9% en los no expuestos) y se diagnosticaron en una media de 23,2 días (rango, 3-90 días) después de la operación en los expuestos a tofacitinib y 7,9 días. (1-19 días) en los grupos no expuestos, respectivamente. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la ubicación o el momento entre los dos grupos.LIMITACIONES:Carácter retrospectivo del estudio y sesgos asociados. La dependencia de tromboembolismos venosos diagnosticados clínicamente puede subestimar la tasa de incidencia real.CONCLUSIONES:La exposición a tofacitinib antes de la cirugía para la colitis ulcerosa médicamente refractaria se asocia con probabilidades 3 veces mayores de tromboembolismo venoso en comparación con los pacientes sin exposición a tofacitinib.

BACKGROUND: A complete total mesorectal excision is the criterion standard in curative rectal cancer surgery. Ensuring quality is challenging in a narrow pelvis, and obesity amplifies technical difficulties. Pelvimetry is the measurement of pelvic dimensions, but its role in gauging preoperatively the difficulty of proctectomy is largely unexplored. OBJECTIVE: To determine pelvic structural factors associated with incomplete total mesorectal excision after curative proctectomy and build a predictive model for total mesorectal excision quality. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A quaternary referral center database of patients diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma (2009-2017). PATIENTS: Curative-intent proctectomy for rectal adenocarcinoma. INTERVENTIONS: All radiological measurements were obtained from preoperative CT images using validated imaging processing software tools. Completeness of total mesorectal excision was obtained from histology reports. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ability of radiological pelvimetry and obesity measurements to predict total mesorectal excision quality. RESULTS: Of the 410 cases meeting inclusion criteria, 362 underwent a complete total mesorectal excision (88%). Multivariable regression identified a deeper sacral curve (per 100 mm 2 [OR: 1.14; 95% CI, 1.06-1.23; p < 0.001]) and a greater transverse distance of the pelvic outlet (per 10 mm [OR:1.41, 95% CI, 1.08-1.84; p = 0.012]) to be independently associated with incomplete total mesorectal excision. An increased area of the pelvic inlet (per 10 cm 2 [OR: 0.85; 95% CI, 0.75-0.97; p = 0.02) was associated with a higher rate of complete mesorectal excision. No difference in visceral obesity ratio and visceral obesity (ratio >0.4 vs <0.4) between BMI (<30 vs ≥30) and sex was identified. A model was built to predict mesorectal quality using the following variables: depth of sacral curve, area of pelvic inlet, and transverse distance of the pelvic outlet. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective analysis is not controlled for the choice of surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS: Pelvimetry predicts total mesorectal excision quality in rectal cancer surgery and can alert surgeons preoperatively to cases of unusual difficulty. This predictive model may contribute to treatment strategy and aid in the comparison of outcomes between traditional and novel techniques of total mesorectal excision. See Video Abstract . USO DE MEDICIONES DE PELVIMETRA Y OBESIDAD VISCERAL BASADAS EN TC PARA PREDECIR LA CALIDAD DE TME EN PACIENTES SOMETIDOS A CIRUGA DE CNCER DE RECTO: ANTECEDENTES:Una escisión mesorrectal total y completa es el estándar de oro en la cirugía curativa del cáncer de recto. Garantizar la calidad es un desafío en una pelvis estrecha y la obesidad amplifica las dificultades técnicas. La pelvimetría es la medición de las dimensiones pélvicas, pero su papel para medir la dificultad preoperatoria de la proctectomía está en gran medida inexplorado.OBJETIVO:Determinar los factores estructurales pélvicos asociados con la escisión mesorrectal total incompleta después de una proctectomía curativa y construir un modelo predictivo para la calidad de la escisión mesorrectal total.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.ÁMBITO:Base de datos de un centro de referencia cuaternario de pacientes diagnosticados con adenocarcinoma de recto (2009-2017).PACIENTES:Proctectomía con intención curativa para adenocarcinoma de recto.INTERVENCIONES:Todas las mediciones radiológicas se obtuvieron a partir de imágenes de TC preoperatorias utilizando herramientas de software de procesamiento de imágenes validadas. La integridad de la escisión mesorrectal total se obtuvo a partir de informes histológicos.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACIÓN:Capacidad de la pelvimetría radiológica y las mediciones de obesidad para predecir la calidad total de la escisión mesorrectal.RESULTADOS:De los 410 casos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, 362 tuvieron una escisión mesorrectal total completa (88%). Una regresión multivariable identificó una curva sacra más profunda (por 100 mm2); OR:1,14,[IC95%:1,06-1,23,p<0,001], y mayor distancia transversal de salida pélvica (por 10mm); OR:1,41, [IC 95%:1,08-1,84,p=0,012] como asociación independiente con escisión mesorrectal total incompleta. Un área aumentada de entrada pélvica (por 10 cm2); OR:0,85, [IC95%:0,75-0,97,p=0,02] se asoció con una mayor tasa de escisión mesorrectal completa. No se identificaron diferencias en la proporción de obesidad visceral y la obesidad visceral (proporción>0,4 vs.<0,4) entre el índice de masa corporal (<30 vs.>=30) o el sexo. Se construyó un modelo para predecir la calidad mesorrectal utilizando variables: profundidad de la curva sacra, área de la entrada pélvica y distancia transversal de la salida pélvica.LIMITACIONES:Análisis retrospectivo no controlado por la elección del abordaje quirúrgico.CONCLUSIONES:La pelvimetría predice la calidad de la escisión mesorrectal total en la cirugía del cáncer de recto y puede alertar a los cirujanos preoperatoriamente sobre casos de dificultad inusual. Este modelo predictivo puede contribuir a la estrategia de tratamiento y ayudar en la comparación de resultados entre técnicas tradicionales y novedosas de escisión mesorrectal total.

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.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: A minimum lymph node harvest (LNH) of 12 is the current standard for appropriate nodal staging in resectable rectal cancer. However, the rise of neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NCRT) and total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has been associated with decreasing number of LNH. We hypothesize that as tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy increases, the optimum for LNH to achieve appropriate nodal staging should decrease. METHODS: Patients with clinical stage III rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent NCRT/TNT followed by resection were identified from the National Cancer Database. A JoinPoint regression analysis was used to determine the LNH for each tumor regression grade (TRG) category beyond which the rate of positive nodes does not significantly change. RESULTS: Thirteen thousand four hundred and twenty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Of these, 2406 (17.9%) achieved TRG 0 or ypT0 and 8210 (61.2%) achieved ypN0. Collectively, 2043 patients (15.2%) were reported to have a pathologic complete response (ypT0 ypN0). Positive pathologic nodes were found in 15%, 23%, 31%, 54%, and 53% as ypT stage increased from ypT0 to ypT4, respectively. Similarly, ypN+ rates were 15%, 36%, 41%, and 55% in TRG 0-3. No JoinPoint was identified for TRG 0, whereas inflection points were found at 6-10 nodes for TRG1 (p = 0.002) and TRG 2 (p = 0.016), and at 11-15 nodes for TRG 3. CONCLUSION: The benchmark of retrieving 12 nodes in resectable stage III rectal cancer is not consistently achieved after NCRT/TNT. We demonstrate that the LNH requirement to establish accurate pathologic nodal staging can vary depending on the tumor response to neoadjuvant therapies.

INTRODUCTION: Perianal disease occurs in up to 34% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. An estimated 25% of women will become pregnant after the initial diagnosis, thus introducing the dilemma of whether mode of delivery affects perianal disease. The aim of our study was to analyze whether a cesarean section (C-section) or vaginal delivery influence perianal involvement. We hypothesized the delivery route would not alter post-partum perianal manifestations in the setting of previously healed perianal disease. METHODS: All consecutive eligible IBD female patients between 1997 and 2022 who delivered were included. Prior perianal involvement, perianal flare after delivery and delivery method were noted. RESULTS: We identified 190 patients with IBD who had a total of 322 deliveries; 169 (52%) were vaginal and 153 (48%) were by C-section. Nineteen women (10%) experienced 21/322 (6%) post-partum perianal flares. Independent predictors were previous abdominal surgery for IBD (OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1-7.2; p = 0.042), ileocolonic involvement (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1-9.4; p = 0.030), previous perianal disease (OR, 22; 95% CI, 7-69; p < 0.001), active perianal disease (OR, 96; 95% CI, 21-446; p < 0.001) and biologic (OR, 4.4; 95% CI,1.4-13.6; p < 0.011) or antibiotic (OR, 19.6; 95% CI, 7-54; p < 0.001) treatment. Negative association was found for vaginal delivery (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.06-0.61; p < 0.005). Number of post-partum flares was higher in the C-section group [17 (11%) vs. 4 (2%), p = 0.002]. CONCLUSIONS: Delivery by C-section section was not protective of ongoing perianal disease activity post-delivery, but should be recommended for women with active perianal involvement.

AIM: Ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) following total abdominal colectomy (TAC) allows for resortation of bowel continuity but prior studies have reported rates of anastomotic leak (AL) to be as high as 23%. We aimed to report rates of AL and complications in a large cohort of patients undergoing IRA. We hypothesized that AL rates were lower than previously reported and that selective use of diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) is associated with decreased AL rates. METHOD: Patients undergoing TAC or end-ileostomy reversal with IRA, with or without DLI, between 1980 and 2021 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database and retrospectively analysed. Redo IRA cases were excluded. Short-term (30-day) surgical outcomes were collected using our database. AL was defined using a combination of imaging and, in the case of return to the operating room, intraoperative findings. RESULTS: Of 823 patients in the study cohort, DLI was performed in 27% and performed more frequently for constipation and inflammatory bowel disease. The overall AL rate was 3% (1% and 4% in those with and without DLI, respectively) and diversion was found to be protective against leak (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.08-0.94, p = 0.04). However, patients undergoing diversion had a higher overall rate of postoperative complications (51% vs. 36%, p < 0.001) including superficial wound infection, urinary tract infection, dehydration, blood transfusion and portomesenteric venous thrombosis (all p < 0.04). CONCLUSION: Our study represents the largest series of patients undergoing IRA reported to date and demonstrates an AL rate of 3%. While IRA appears to be a viable surgical option for diverse indications, our study underscores the importance of careful patient selection and thoughtful consideration of staging the anastomosis and temporary faecal diversion when necessary.

AIM: Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer (CRC) in inflammatory bowel disease. CRC may also be discovered incidentally at IPAA for other indications. We sought to determine whether incidentally found CRC at IPAA was associated with worse outcomes. METHODS: Our institutional pouch registry (1983-2021) was retrospectively reviewed. Patients with CRC at pathology after IPAA were divided into two groups: a preoperative diagnosis (PreD) group and an incidental diagnosis (InD) group. Their long-term outcomes (overall survival, disease-free survival and pouch survival) were compared. RESULTS: We included 164 patients: 53 (32%) InD and 111 (68%) PreD. There were no differences in cancer staging, differentiation and location. After a median follow-up of 11 (IQR 3-25) years for InD and 9 (IQR 3-20) years for the PreD group, deaths were 14 (26%) in the InD group and 18 (16%) in the PreD group. Pouch failures were five (9%) in the InD group and nine (8%) in the PreD group, of which two (5%) and four (4%) were cancer related. Ten-year overall survival was 94% for InD and 89% for PreD (P = 0.41), disease-free survival was 95% for InD and 90% for PreD (P = 0.685) and pouch survival was 89% for InD and 97% for PreD (P = 0.80). Pouch survival at 10 years was lower in rectal versus colon cancer (87% vs. 97%, P = 0.01). No difference was found in outcomes in handsewn versus stapled anastomoses. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory bowel disease patients with incidentally found CRC during IPAA appear to have similarly excellent oncological and pouch outcomes to patients with a preoperative cancer diagnosis.

AIM: Restorative proctocolectomy with transabdominal ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (abd-IPAA) has become the standard surgical treatment for medically refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it requires a technically difficult distal anorectal dissection and anastomosis due to the bony confines of the deep pelvis. To address these challenges, the transanal IPAA approach (ta-IPAA) was developed. This novel approach may offer increased visibility and range of motion compared with abd-IPAA, although its postoperative benefits remain unclear. The aim of this work was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare and inform the frequency of postoperative outcomes between ta-IPAA and abd-IPAA for patients with UC. METHOD: Several databases were searched from inception until May 2022 for studies reporting postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing ta-IPAA. Reviewers, working independently and in duplicate, evaluated studies for inclusion and graded the risk of bias. Odds ratios (OR), mean differences (MD) and prevalence ratio (PR) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models. Sensitivity analysis was performed. RESULTS: Ten retrospective studies comprising 284 patients with ta-IPAA were included. Total mesorectal excision was performed in 61.8% of cases and close rectal dissection in 27.9%. There was no difference in the odds of Clavien-Dindo (CD) I-II complications, CD III-IV and anastomotic leak (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.27-3.40; OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.65-2.16; OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.58-3.23; respectively) between ta-IPAA and abd-IPAA. The ta-IPAA pooled CD I-II complication rate was 18% (95% CI 5%-35%) and for CD III-IV 10% (95% CI 5%-17%), and the anastomotic leak rate was 6% (95% CI 2%-10%). There were no deaths reported. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis compared the novel ta-IPAA procedure with abd-IPAA and found no difference in postoperative outcomes. While the need for randomized controlled trails and comparison of functional outcomes between both approaches remains, this evidence should assist colorectal surgeons to decide if ta-IPAA is a viable alternative.

AIM: Recent evidence challenges the current standard of offering surgery to patients with ileocaecal Crohn's disease (CD) only when they present complications of the disease. The aim of this study was to compare short-term results of patients who underwent primary ileocaecal resection for either inflammatory (luminal disease, earlier in the disease course) or complicated phenotypes, hypothesizing that the latter would be associated with worse postoperative outcomes. METHOD: A retrospective, multicentre comparative analysis was performed including patients operated on for primary ileocaecal CD at 12 referral centres. Patients were divided into two groups according to indication of surgery for inflammatory (ICD) or complicated (CCD) phenotype. Short-term results were compared. RESULTS: A total of 2013 patients were included, with 291 (14.5%) in the ICD group. No differences were found between the groups in time from diagnosis to surgery. CCD patients had higher rates of low body mass index, anaemia (40.9% vs. 27%, p < 0.001) and low albumin (11.3% vs. 2.6%, p < 0.001). CCD patients had longer operations, lower rates of laparoscopic approach (84.3% vs. 93.1%, p = 0.001) and higher conversion rates (9.3% vs. 1.9%, p < 0.001). CCD patients had a longer hospital stay and higher postoperative complication rates (26.1% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.083). Anastomotic leakage and reoperations were also more frequent in this group. More patients in the CCD group required an extended bowel resection (14.1% vs. 8.3%, p: 0.017). In multivariate analysis, CCD was associated with prolonged surgery (OR 3.44, p = 0.001) and the requirement for multiple intraoperative procedures (OR 8.39, p = 0.030). CONCLUSION: Indication for surgery in patients who present with an inflammatory phenotype of CD was associated with better outcomes compared with patients operated on for complications of the disease. There was no difference between groups in time from diagnosis to surgery.

BACKGROUND: Appendiceal orifice lesions are often managed operatively with limited or oncologic resections. The aim is to report the management of appendiceal orifice mucosal neoplasms using advanced endoscopic interventions. METHODS: Patients with appendiceal orifice mucosal neoplasms who underwent advanced endoscopic resections between 2011 and 2021 with either endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic mucosal dissection (ESD), hybrid ESD, or combined endoscopic laparoscopic surgery (CELS) were included from a prospectively collected dataset. Patient and lesion details and procedure outcomes are reported. RESULTS: Out of 1005 lesions resected with advanced endoscopic techniques, 41 patients (4%) underwent appendiceal orifice mucosal neoplasm resection, including 39% by hybrid ESD, 34% by ESD, 15% by EMR, and 12% by CELS. The median age was 65, and 54% were male. The median lesion size was 20 mm. The dissection was completed piecemeal in 49% of patients. Post-procedure, one patient had a complication within 30 days and was admitted with post-polypectomy abdominal pain treated with observation for 2 days with no intervention. Pathology revealed 49% sessile-serrated lesions, 24% tubular adenomas, and 15% tubulovillous adenomas. Patients were followed up for a median of 8 (0-48) months. One patient with a sessile-serrated lesion experienced a recurrence after EMR which was re-resected with EMR. CONCLUSION: Advanced endoscopic interventions for appendiceal orifice mucosal neoplasms can be performed with a low rate of complications and early recurrence. While conventionally lesions at the appendiceal orifice are often treated with surgical resection, advanced endoscopic interventions are an alternative approach with promising results which allow for cecal preservation.
