Introduction: Despite a lack of a well-defined concept of 'pelvic difficulties', pelvimetric parameters significantly influence surgical difficulty and outcomes in mid-low rectal cancer (MLRC).
Aim: The objective of this study was to explore the influence of pelvimetric parameters and surgical approaches on the difficulty of surgical procedures in MLRC.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed at the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, including patients with a diagnosis of MLRC who underwent total mesorectal excision between January 2016 and June 2023. We analyzed the pelvimetric parameters and perioperative data.
Results: The study cohort comprised a total of 1138 individuals. Based on the surgical difficulty score, 374 patients were assigned to the difficult surgery (DS) group, and 764, to the non-difficult surgery group. Patients in the DS group were stratified into 2 groups based on the surgical approach: the robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RLS) group with 78 patients, and the conventional laparoscopic surgery group, including 296 patients. Multivariable analysis results showed that age, sex, pelvic inlet anteroposterior diameters (PIAPD), pubic symphysis height, pelvic depth, and angle A were independent influencing factors for DS.
Conclusions: Age, sex, PIAPD, pubic symphysis height, pelvic depth, and angle A were independent factors influencing DS in MLRC. In the DS group patients, RLS had certain advantages.

Background: Normal morphological features of the maternal pelvis are important prerequisites for vaginal delivery. Clinical pelvimetry and sonopelvimetry are inexpensive methods of assessing pelvic capacity. This study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of clinical pelvimetry and sonopelvimetry in predicting the mode of delivery in nulliparous women.

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.

Background: The avian pelvis is known to differ in shape between males and females due to the need for females to lay eggs, with egg shape correlating to pelvic shape. Geese breeding is done as an alternative to the poultry sector in our country for meat and, to a lesser extent, eggs. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of those who are breeding geese as large enterprises.

Background: Rectal cancer has increased in incidence, and surgery remains the cornerstone of multimodal treatment. Pelvic anatomy, particularly a narrow pelvis, poses challenges in rectal cancer surgery, potentially affecting oncological outcomes and postoperative complications.
Aim: To investigate the relationship between radiologically assessed pelvic anatomy and surgical outcomes as well as the impact on local recurrence following rectal cancer surgery.
