Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of surgical techniques, use of enhanced recovery protocols, and presence or absence of complications on the total cost of hospitalization for elective colorectal surgery. The results showed that enhanced recovery protocols significantly reduced the cost, while complications significantly increased the cost.

Summary: Lymphadenectomy is crucial for optimal resection of colon and rectal cancers. Indocyanine-green (ICG) lymphatic mapping allows real-time visualization of lymph nodes, increasing the accuracy of surgery. This study found that in patients undergoing ICG-guided lymphadenectomy, 50% of patients had changes in the extent of lymphadenectomy due to the use of ICG.

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: The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) work together to provide high-quality patient care for surgical patients related to colon, rectum, and anus disorders and diseases as well as minimally invasive surgery. The guidelines are created by experts in the field to establish international standards of care and clinical practice guidelines based on evidence. These guidelines are informative and not prescriptive, intended for all healthcare practitioners and patients seeking information on managing related conditions.

Summary: This study compared the short-term outcomes of robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery in treating rectal cancer. The results showed that robotic surgery had better performance in terms of Clavien-Dindo classification, sepsis, and harvested lymph nodes, but it was also associated with higher cost.

Summary: Robot-assisted colon surgery (RCS) showed superior surgical efficacy and lower morbidity compared to laparoscopic colon surgery (LCS) in colorectal cancer operations. However, the evidence level is very low. RCS performed better in anastomotic leakage, conversion to open surgery, overall complication rate, and time to regular diet, while LCS had a shorter operative time.

Summary: Despite recent changes, there are still large gender and racial gaps in surgical training and leadership. This study examines the representation of women and underrepresented minorities among surgical residents, faculty members, and the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons Executive Council, finding an increase in diversity over the past 20 years.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether colorectal surgeons versus general surgeons performing elective colectomies for colon cancer resulted in cost savings. The results showed that surgery performed by colorectal surgeons had lower associated costs compared to surgery performed by general surgeons, resulting in savings of $7773 and $4665 from the societal and health care system perspectives, respectively.

Summary: Urogenital dysfunction is a common complication after surgery for sigmoid colon or rectal cancers, and it may result from various causes. This study evaluated urogenital dysfunction and associated factors after laparoscopic surgery at different follow-up times. The results showed that voiding function improved, but sexual function deteriorated, especially in male patients. Age <= 60 years and postoperative complications were strongly associated with male sexual dysfunction.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and motivations for medical chaperone use during anorectal exams by colon and rectal surgeons in the outpatient setting. The results showed that half of the surgeons believed chaperones should be mandatory, but there was a lack of consensus within the cohort. Efforts to improve chaperone availability, documentation of chaperone use, and knowledge of policies are necessary based on the findings.

Summary: The study found that while all treatments showed similar effects post-treatment, they differed in the speed of improvement and pattern of deteriorations. Focused attention (FA) had the fastest rate of improvement but lost treatment-related gains in the long-term. Open monitoring (OM) had the slowest rate of improvement and lost improvements in anxiety long-term, resulting in higher anxiety levels at week 20 compared to MBCT and FA.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of triple antithrombotic regimens containing different antiplatelet drugs in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention. Results from this small cohort study suggest that there is no significant difference in net adverse clinical event rates between clopidogrel and potent P2Y12 inhibitors in the setting of triple antithrombotic therapy.
