Dis Colon Rectum
August 2025
Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Taipei Medical University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Rectal cancer surgery presents a technical challenge due to the intricate anatomy of the pelvis, contributing to an increased risk of postoperative complications.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of clinical and anatomical factors in predicting anastomotic complications after sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.
Design: Retrospective analysis.

Purpose: This study investigates the functional outcomes of patients with low rectal cancer undergoing inter-sphincteric resection (ISR) following brachytherapy boost radiotherapy (BoRT), compared to those who underwent ISR after standard chemoradiotherapy. BoRT is an alternative to total neoadjuvant therapy for increasing organ preservation rates in low rectal cancers. However, its impact on sphincter function following stoma reversal remains unclear.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a formidable global health challenge, ranking among the most prevalent malignancies and a principal contributor to cancer-associated mortality. While traditional open surgery has historically been the cornerstone of CRC treatment, the advent of minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS), has garnered significant momentum owing to technological advancements in the field. Robotic platforms, exemplified by the da Vinci Surgical System, offer superior three-dimensional visualization, enhanced dexterity, and heightened precision, yielding improved perioperative outcomes, particularly in anatomically intricate regions such as the pelvis.

Introduction: One of the critical steps involved is the distal transection of the rectum in rectal cancer surgeries. Multiple staple firings have been proven to increase the rate of anastomotic leakage. In this study, we intended to learn the effectiveness of the robotic SureForm SmartFire (SS) stapling system and its application in robotic sigmoid colon and rectal procedures performed at our institution.
