AbstractDespite advances in coloanal anastomosis techniques, satisfactory procedures completed without complications remain lacking. We investigated the effectiveness of our recently developed ‘Short stump and High anastomosis Pull-through’ (SHiP) procedure for delayed coloanal anastomosis without a stoma. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality rates and local recurrence of 37 patients treated using SHiP procedure, out of the 282 patients affected by rectal cancer treated in our institution between 2012 and 2020. The inclusion criterion was that the rectal cancer be located within 4 cm from the anal margin. One patient died of local and pulmonary recurrence after 6 years, one developed lung and liver metastases after 2 years, and one experienced local recurrence 2.5 years after surgery. No major leak, retraction, or ischaemia of the colonic stump occurred; the perioperative mortality rate was zero. Five patients (13.51%) had early complications. Stenosis of the anastomosis, which occurred in nine patients (24.3%), was the only long-term complication; only three (8.1%) were symptomatic and were treated with endoscopic dilation. The mean Wexner scores at 24 and 36 months were 8.3 and 8.1 points, respectively. At the 36-month check-up, six patients (24%) had major LARS, ten (40%) had minor LARS, and nine (36%) had no LARS. The functional results in terms of LARS were similar to those previously reported after immediate coloanal anastomosis with protective stoma. The SHiP procedure resulted in a drastic reduction in major complications, and none of the patients had a stoma.

Abstract Aim High quality operations with low rates of tumour perforation and circumferential resection margin (CRM) positivity are associated with improved long-term outcomes following surgery for rectal cancer. Previous audit has demonstrated lower rates of tumour perforation and CRM positivity by a single surgeon compared to the published standards. Our aim is to re-audit this surgeons’ outcomes for curative rectal resections. Methods Data was collected retrospectively for all potentially curative rectal resections over a 5-year period performed by a single surgeon using a local database and electronic care records. The CRM status and tumour perforation status were considered. Other end points included the rate of local recurrence, survival and length of stay. Results Fifty-one patients underwent rectal resections with curative intent, with a median age of 67. Complete resection (R0) was achieved in 94.1% of cases; 3.92% were found to have nodes less than 1mm from the margin and 1.96% were found to have tumour deposit less than 1mm from the margin – these cases were considered to be an R1 resection. Tumour perforation was present in 3.92% of cases, all of which had occurred pre-operatively. Local recurrence was found in 5.88% of cases and 90-day mortality was 1.96%. Median length of hospital stay was 7 days. Conclusion Our data demonstrates sustained high quality surgical outcomes with low tumour perforation rates and CRM positivity rates which compare favourably with the published standards to date. Local recurrence rates are comparable to published standards and 90-day mortality continues to be low.

Thirteen patients — 18 hands — have been treated with pollicization and could be followed-up for 2 years to 19 years with an average of 7.9 years. Surgery was performed according to the Buck-Gramcko method. The mean age at the time of pollicization was 1.7 years. The parents were satisfied with the cosmetic results in all cases, and they were satisfied with the functional results in all except 4 hands. At follow-up, all patients could use the pollicized digit for pinch. Excellent pinch function has been achieved in 11 hands, good in 2, and fair in 1. The average percent pinch strength compared to the opposite hand was 55%. Association of a radial club hand and contracture of the pollicized digit and other fingers seemed to influence the postoperative pinch function.

A 58-year-old Japanese man, with a body mass index of 41.7 kg/m2 (height: 179.8 cm; weight: 133.8 kg), underwent a laparoscopic pull-through procedure with delayed coloanal anastomosis performed in two surgical stages for lower rectal cancer. This method was selected because the volume of the abdominal wall was fairly thick and it would have been impossible to perform diverting ileostomy and colostomy, which are routinely conducted. First, a colonic pull-through segment of about 10 cm was left outside the anal canal without any tension and was fixed by sutures under indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG FI). The second surgical stage was performed 10 days after the first operation under general anesthesia. Final coloanal anastomosis was performed with near-infrared light without diverting the stoma under ICG FI. The patient demonstrated a good postoperative course and was discharged from our hospital in remission 15 days after the latest operation. We could inspect the coloanal flow of the anastomosis under ICG FI before the reconstruction. This procedure was considered to be a standard method, but it was overtaken by new technology, ICG FI. This procedure is an ultimate stomaless surgery for ultralow rectal cancer that can be performed in selected cases, such as in patients with a high body mass index and with hope for stomaless operation.
