INTRODUCTION: Due to its rarity, anal adenocarcinoma (AA) does not have a standardized staging system. The tumor (T) stage of an adenocarcinoma arising from the anal canal could be based on depth of invasion, as for rectal adenocarcinoma, or on size, as in anal squamous cell carcinoma…

During ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), difficulty in reaching the pelvic floor and excess mesenteric tension on the pouch are technical challenges that surgeons must overcome, and excess tension may be associated with increased anastomotic leak rates…

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), there has been a paradigm shift towards the routine use of total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT). Despite its growing acceptance, there are limited studies examining factors predictive of response to TNT…

Ileoanal pouch patients are at risk of neoplasia of the rectal cuff/anal transitional zone (ATZ) and the pouch, but it is unknown whether underlying diagnosis that impacted pouch construction affects oncologic outcomes after pouch excision…

INTRODUCTION: Total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) is an increasingly used strategy for locally advanced rectal cancer that provides a higher complete response rate and improved treatment compliance…

INTRODUCTION: Ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a widely preferred surgical intervention for patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, and indeterminate colitis…

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage is a dreaded complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) that occurs in 5-10% of cases…

INTRODUCTION: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the procedure of choice in patients requiring total proctocolectomy. The reported leak rates after IPAA surgery range from 1-12% with well described significant impact on postoperative morbidity and recovery…

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred surgical treatment for IBD or FAP. As these diseases often manifest during adolescence or early adulthood, treatment effects on genitourinary function (GU), sexual function, and fertility are clinically important…
