Recently, the number of prehabilitation trials has increased significantly. The identification key research priorities is vital in guiding future directions. Thus, aim this collaborative study was to define for patients undergoing cancer surgery.The Delphi methodology implemented over three rounds surveys distributed experts from across multiple specialties, tumour streams and countries via a secure online platform. In first round, participants were asked provide baseline demographics...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) offers advantages for resection of low rectal tumours in patients with challenging access to the pelvis, but functional outcomes relative conventional transabdominal approach are poorly understood. Methods Patients undergoing TaTME cancer between 2009–2018 at 9 sites across Australia and New Zealand were eligible. a stoma or recurrent disease excluded. Outcomes compared matched cohort who underwent (laparoscopic...
Minimally invasive ventral rectopexy has widely become the preferred prolapse procedure. However there have been recent concerns regarding safety of permanent synthetic mesh in pelvis. Biologic grafts also commonly used as an alternative prosthesis, but data on their and longevity repair lacking. To assess short long-term efficacy biologic minimally rectopexy. Retrospective cohort study using from a prospectively collected database. Single surgeon at single tertiary hospital Australia. There...
Abstract Introduction The views of patients and carers are important for the development research priorities. This study aimed to determine compare top priorities cancer with those multidisciplinary clinicians expertise in prehabilitation. Materials methods cross-sectional surveyed recovering from surgery at a major tertiary hospital Sydney, Australia, and/or their between March July 2023. Consenting were provided list according prehabilitation, as determined recent International Delphi...
Abstract Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) aims to overcome some of the technical challenges faced when operating on mid and low rectal cancers. Specimen quality has been confirmed previously, but recent concerns have raised about oncological safety. This multicentre prospective study aimed evaluate safety taTME among early adopters in Australia New Zealand. Methods Data from all consecutive patients who had for cancer July 2014 February 2020 at six tertiary referral...
Surveillance after colorectal cancer resection remains contentious, and faces several contemporary issues. Patient-centred care, intensive surveillance programmes patient complexity increase the burden of on consultant-led clinics. Recent years have seen reshaping nursing roles to meet healthcare demand. Nurse-led follow-up has been piloted, but not validated. We report outcomes from a nurse-led clinic functioning in our institution since 2008, longest term published literature.Included...

Hybrid-natural orifice surgery combines the advantages of traditional transabdominal laparoscopic surgery, while limiting surgical trauma to abdominal wall. Among various routes intra-abdominal access, transvaginal method is most appealing because its utility and proven safety. We describe a series 4 colonic resections performed with this approach, combined minilaparoscopy needlescopic approaches, discuss technical aspects, efficacy, applicability technique.Three patients were selected...
The efficacy of rubber band ligation haemorrhoids relies on the load generated haemorrhoidal tissue by bands as they return to their preformed shape after being deployed. 'Preloaded' haemorrhoid banding devices are widely available, but effect resultant prolonged stretch while stored in this manner has never been examined comparing these manually loaded devices, which immediately prior A difference could have clinical relevance, potentially resulting a higher rate failure. present study...
Introduction: Small bowel obstruction is a common acute general surgical presentation. A bezoar concretion found within the lumen of gastrointestinal tract, composed partially digested or indigestible material. We present rare case small caused by seaweed phytobezoar. Presentation Case: young woman with virgin abdomen presented to our facility 3-day history abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography pelvis was consistent obstruction. At laparoscopy, soft intraluminal obstructing...
