Summary: This study aimed to identify the risk factors and develop a prediction model for anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer patients. The results showed that preoperative bowel obstruction and early first defecation after surgery were independent risk factors. The nomogram prediction model had good predictive ability, which could guide treatment and surgical decision-making.

Summary: This study developed a nomogram model based on MRI-based pelvimetry and clinical factors for predicting the difficulty level of rectal surgery in middle and low rectal cancer cases. The results showed that BMI, pelvic inlet, and intertuberous distance were independently associated with surgical difficulty, and the nomogram model had good predictive ability. It was concluded that the nomogram model is feasible for predicting surgical difficulty in mid to low rectal cancer cases.

Summary: Long-term survival rates after emergency colorectal cancer surgery are often neglected in favor of immediate prognosis. This study developed a nomogram to predict overall survival in these patients. Retrospective analysis of 437 patients revealed only 6.86% survival, with eight independent prognostic factors identified through regression analysis. The constructed nomogram demonstrated good individual prediction and can assist clinicians in informing patients about prognosis.

Summary: This study analyzed the medical records of 8716 lung cancer surgery patients and identified age, BMI, FEV1/FVC, lymph node calcification, thoracic paravertebral blockade, intraoperative transfusion, operative time, and operation later than 6 p.m. as independent predictors for delayed extubation. By developing a nomogram, high-risk patients for delayed extubation can be reliably identified, and optimizing modifiable factors can reduce the risk.

Summary: This study aimed to identify preoperative testing-based characteristics associated with enhanced prognosis and survival for cholangiocarcinoma patients, and to create a distinct nomogram to anticipate each patient's cancer-specific survival. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 197 CCA patients who underwent radical surgery, and a nomogram was created after identifying independent factors influencing patients' survival. The nomogram accurately predicted postoperative survival in an external validation cohort.

Summary: This study aims to construct a model for predicting the probability of LARS occurrence after ileostomy reversal and guide preventive strategies. Three risk factors were identified, and a predictive model was constructed. This model can help screen high-risk patients and guide individualized preventive strategies.

Summary: The study showed that robotic rectal cancer surgery had better short-term outcomes compared to laparoscopic surgery, with lower overall complications rate and shorter length of stay. Robotic surgery was found to be the most protective factor for reducing complications and was the only independent protective factor for prolonged length of stay.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and prognosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) surgery patients. The study found a high prevalence of VTE, which was associated with adverse outcomes. A nomogram assessing VTE risk was developed to help identify high-risk individuals and implement preventive measures.

Summary: Anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery negatively affects long-term oncological outcomes, leading to increased local recurrences and decreased disease-free survival. However, its impact on outcomes after colon cancer surgery remains inconclusive.

Summary: This study constructed and validated a prognostic model and nomogram for predicting the prognosis of rectal cancer patients with tumor deposits (TDs). The results showed that TDs were an independent risk factor for overall survival and the model 3 nomogram exhibited better predictive performance.

Summary: The study identified age, monocyte percentage, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, lymph node dissection numbers, and perineural invasion as independent prognostic factors for pT3N0M0 rectal cancer patients. A nomogram based on these factors effectively predicted Cancer Specific Survival (CSS) in patients, with ACT improving overall survival in low-risk patients but not in high-risk patients.
