MRI revealed a high-intensity mass behind the anus, suggestive of an anal fistula (Fig. 2). We considered the differential diagnosis of a benign anal fistula or implantation metastasis into the anal fistula. Coring-out fistulectomy was performed, and the resected fistula was pathologically ...
However, patients undergoing radical surgery for rectal cancer may face various risks, such as anastomotic leakage, temporary or permanent fistula, organ excision, and urinary damage and dysfunction. Research data show the following findings: the perioperative complication incidence of radical surgery for...
The status of MRF and EMVI on MRI at baseline and after nCT were evaluated retrospectively. These results were compared with pathological status after surgery (Table 4). Survival analysis was also performed based on EMVI, MRF and lymph node status. Table 4 Characteristics evaluated by MRI at ...
The protocol of the study was registered in clinicaltrials.gov and the study has been reported in line with the STROCSS criteria [12]. 2.2. Selection criteria Patients of either gender aged 40 years or less who presented with rectal cancer of any stage were included to the study. There was...
The basic principles are as follows: (1) Coagulation is reduced to minimum using a bipolar diathermy to reduce ischemia, wound breakdown, CSF fistula and meningitis. (2) All nerves fibres are conserved as much as possible. (3) The spinal canal is protected from blood seeping in by gentle ...
It is a therapeutic strategy based on a multid- isciplinary team, careful patient selection, an audited surgical technique and a strict follow-up protocol. Keywords: Transanal Endoscopic; Microsurgey; TEM; Rectal Neoplasms 1. Introduction problems. This technique allows the resection of lesions up...

Additionally, in patients with complete clinical response after chemoradiation therapy, MRI is also recommended by the recent RESARCH study as primary imaging surveillance during the “watch-and-wait” (at least every 6 months for the first 2 years) [31]. The recommended MRI protocol by the ...
For pelvic RT specifically, sparing of bladder and rectum is of primary concern, as the development of a fistula has been a well-documented complication of RT [9,10,11,12,13]. The use of more advanced radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or proton beam ...
This work is intended to report on first experiences with long-term consolidating CTx by this protocol in a single-center cohort and to compare these early results with other TNT protocols. Figure 1. Flowchart of the applied total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) protocol, consisting of simultaneous ...
