Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer ranks among the most commonly diagnosed cancers globally, and is associated with a high rate of pelvic recurrence after surgery. In efforts to mitigate recurrence, pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is commonly advocated as an adjunct to radical surgery. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) is a therapeutic approach employed in managing locally advanced rectal cancer, and has been found to increase the survival rates. Chua have proposed a combination of NACRT with selective PLND for addressing lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in rectal cancer patients, with the aim of reducing recurrence and improving survival outcomes. Nevertheless, certain studies have indicated that the addition of PLND to NACRT and total mesorectal excision did not yield a significant reduction in local recurrence rates or improvement in survival. Consequently, meticulous patient selection and perioperative chemotherapy may prove indispensable in ensuring the efficacy of PLND.

This study explores effective treatment methods for chronic secondary lymphedema after radical cervical cancer surgery combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy. In cases where conservative treatment was ineffective, we investigated whether multiple injections of indocyanine green can effectively improve the outcomes of lymphatic-venous anastomosis under microscopy. Preoperative lymphatic imaging was used to localize functional vessels, guiding distal left lower limb lymphatic reconstruction.

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

Background: Robot-assisted surgery has been widely adopted for the treatment of rectal cancer. Preoperative identification of difficult cases is essential, particularly for surgical training and operating room management. This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors and develop a predictive scoring system for prolonged pelvic operation time in robot-assisted low anterior resection.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a common procedure, and patients with a history of IHR may later require radical prostatectomy. Prior IHR can complicate prostatectomy by altering anatomy, but its impact on extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (ELRP) remains unclear. This study evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of ELRP in patients with prior IHR.
