Machine learning for predicting clinical complete response after total neoadjuvant therapy in advanced rectal cancer
Background: Predicting clinical complete response (cCR) to total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) helps optimize therapeutic strategies and identify the best candidates for a watch-and-wait strategy. This study aimed to develop a machine learni...

TAMIS repair within a structured multimodal management pathway for colorectal anastomotic leaks: surgical technique and outcomes
Aim: We describe the transanal minimally invasive surgerical (TAMIS) procedure for the elective repair of colorectal anastomotic leaks (AL) within a structured management pathway based on early leak detection and selective adjunctive the...

Dual-docking robotic total proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis with synchronous rectal and sigmoid carcinomas: a methodology of port placement and docking strategy
Dual-docking robotic total proctocolectomy (TPC) for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) with synchronous carcinomas presents technical challenges in port placement, and a detailed methodology is currently lacking. This article reports ...

Selective ileostomy and proactive anastomotic leak management after low rectal resection: a prospective single-center cohort with historical comparison
Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a major complication after low rectal resection. Protective ileostomy is widely used, although it may not reduce leak incidence and may mask subclinical events. This study evaluated the feasib...

Artificial intelligence–assisted transrectal ultrasound for rectal cancer invasion depth classification
Background: Accurate assessment of tumor invasion depth is essential for treatment selection in rectal cancer. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) provides high-resolution visualization of rectal wall layers but is highly operator-dependent, l...

Robotic-assisted and TAMIS single-stapled anastomosis (RaTASS) for rectal cancer
Background: Low colorectal anastomosis after total mesorectal excision remains technically challenging, particularly in a narrow pelvis. Transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis can avoid intersecting staple lines by permitti...
