Article Abstract
This article briefly summarizes clinically relevant new aspects of the recently published German, Austrian, and Swiss Onkopedia guideline for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. Main aspects comprise (i) the use of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers with high-risk features, (ii) treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with a low risk for local recurrence, (iii) immunotherapy using dostarlimab in patients with MSI high/dMMR rectal cancer, as well as (iv) the implementation of organ sparing treatment concepts. The availability of several evidence-based treatment options requires intensive discussion within the multidisciplinary team as well as dedicated information for patients about treatment goals, options, and risks of individual treatment approaches.

Robotic-assisted proctectomy (RAP) has been reportedly associated with lower rates of conversion to laparotomy than laparoscopy in several cohort studies. This st0udy aimed to assess the temporal trends in conversion from RAP to laparotomy stratified by patient and treatment-related factors. This retrospective observational study was undertaken to analyse the temporal trends in unplanned conversion from RAP to laparotomy.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the benefit of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) versus adjuvant chemotherapy alone after surgery without nCRT on oncologic and perioperative outcomes of patients with extremely low rectal cancer requiring abdominoperineal resection (APR) when initially diagnosed.
Methods: Between March 2001 and December 2018, 88 patients who underwent APR for low rectal adenocarcinoma (anal verge < 4 cm) with clinical stage II and III (clinical T3/4, N -/+) were retrieved from a retrospective database. Sixty-eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy alone after APR without nCRT, and 20 patients received nCRT before APR.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.

Background: Although the usefulness of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) for anastomotic perfusion has been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials, the incidence of anastomotic leakage is not sufficiently low, even in patients using ICG. Because blood flow assessment using ICG is not completely objective, the objectivity of blood flow evaluation is expected to improve by quantification of fluorescence signals. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy of quantitative assessment of blood flow using ICG-FI with the SPY-QP software program in rectal cancer surgery.

Introduction: High tie ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the standard technique in oncological low anterior rectal resection. However, high tie may reduce blood flow to the colon, impairing distal tissue perfusion, anastomotic healing, and potentially causing necrosis. Therefore, a modified high tie technique (MoHiTi) was developed that preserves the arterial arc from the left colic artery via the proximal IMA to the first sigmoidal branch.
