Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the independent clinical value of mechanical bowel preparations (MBP) and chemical bowel preparations (CBP) for preventing surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 475 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery between January 2018 and March 2022. CBP was introduced in January 2021 and included kanamycin (1 g) and metronidazole (1 g) 2 times a day, the day before surgery. In some cases, MBP was omitted in patients who planned to undergo right-sided colectomy, those with tumor obstruction, and those with poor general conditions, depending on the judgment of the physician. The primary endpoint was the overall SSI incidence, while the secondary endpoints were the incidences of incisional SSI and organ-space SSI, culture from the surgical site, and length of postoperative hospital stay. RESULTS In total, 136 patients underwent CBP. MBP was omitted in 53 patients. Overall, SSI occurred in 80 patients (16.8%), including 61 cases of incisional SSI (12.8%) and 36 cases of organ-space SSI (7.6%). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that CBP exerted an independent preventive effect on overall and incisional SSI, whereas MBP did not. However, CBP was not associated with a decreased risk of overall SSI in patients who had undergone preoperative therapy, those with benign disease, and those with stoma formation in the subgroup analysis. Levels of Bacteroides species at the surgical site were significantly lower in the CBP group than in the non-CBP group. Postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in the incisional SSI group than in the non-SSI group and was significantly longer in the organ-space SSI group than in the other groups. CONCLUSIONS CBP, but not MBP, exerts an independent preventive effect on SSI, especially incisional SSI, in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Abstract
Hybrid surgery (abdominal robotic approach with a trans-anal approach) has been reported to improve oncological outcomes in cases involving advanced cancer or technical difficulties. A 74-year-old woman presented with anal pain and stenosis. Examination revealed palpable sclerosis on the anterior wall at the anal verge with possible vaginal invasion. A biopsy revealed an adenocarcinoma. We performed a two-team robot-assisted abdominoperineal resection combined with resection of the vagina supported by a simultaneous trans-perineal approach. After rendezvous at the posterior side, the abdominal team cut the posterior wall of the vaginal vault while the perineal team confirmed the surgical margin. Histopathological findings identified the tumour as an anal gland adenocarcinoma (pT4b [vagina] N0M0 pathological stage IIC) with a negative circumferential resection margin. Hybrid surgery combined with resection of the posterior wall of the vagina may be performed safely and is a valuable surgical option for multimodal treatment of anal adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Currently, only a small part of functional lymphatic flow around the anorectal region has been anatomically analyzed. Despite the fact that local recurrence is often experienced in the pelvic floor, the functional lymphatic network in this region has rarely been studied due to difficulties in observation. This prospective observational study aimed to observe anorectal lymphatic flow around the pelvic floor using intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence imaging during laparoscopic or robot-assisted rectal surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fourteen patients who underwent laparoscopic (n=7) or robot-assisted (n=7) surgery without any preoperative therapy between April and December 2022 were enrolled. Indocyanine green solution (0.25 mg) was injected into the submucosa at the dentate line of the anterior, posterior, and bilateral walls prior to surgery. During and after total mesorectal excision, lymphatic flow was observed using a near-infrared camera system. RESULTS Lymphatic flow visualized by indocyanine green was detected not only in the already-known route from the low rectum to the lateral pelvic lymph nodes via the lateral ligament, but also in the novel route from the low rectum to the surface of the levator ani muscle and hiatal ligament. Fluorescence was widely spread in the pelvic floor between the longitudinal muscle of the low rectum and the surface of the levator ani muscle. CONCLUSION Even though the results are preliminary since histological analyses were not performed, a novel widespread lymphatic network on the surface of the levator ani muscle originating from the longitudinal muscle fibers of the low rectum was revealed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic D3 lymph node (LN) dissection between ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) (LIMA) and preservation of the IMA (PIMA) for descending colon cancer using propensity score-matched analysis. METHODS This retrospective study included 101 patients with stage I-III descending colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic D3 LN dissection with LIMA (n = 60) or PIMA (n = 41) at a single center between January 2005 and March 2022. After propensity score matching, 64 patients (LIMA, n = 32; PIMA, n = 32) were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was the long-term outcomes, and the secondary endpoint was the surgical outcomes. RESULTS In the matched cohort, no significant difference was noted in the surgical outcomes, including the operative time, estimated blood loss, number of harvested LNs, number of harvested LN 253, and complication rate. The long-term outcomes were also not significantly different between the LIMA and PIMA groups (3-year recurrence-free survival, 72.2% vs. 75.6%, P = 0.862; 5-year overall survival, 69.8% vs. 63.4%, P = 0.888; 5-year cancer-specific survival, 84.2% vs. 82.8%, P = 0.607). No recurrence of LN metastasis was observed around the IMA root. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic D3 dissection in PIMA was comparable to that in LIMA regarding both short- and long-term outcomes. The optimal LN dissection for descending colon cancer should be investigated in future large-scale studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have compared the tumor-site-based postoperative short-term outcomes of a bridge to surgery using self-expandable metallic stents. This study compared the perioperative outcomes following stent placement between right- and left-sided obstructive colorectal cancers, focusing on patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS This study included 127 patients with stage I-IV obstructive colorectal cancer (right-sided, n = 25 [19.7%]; left-sided, n = 102 [80.3%]) who underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery following stent placement between May 2012 and September 2021. We compared the postoperative complication rates and the success rates of stent placement. RESULTS The clinical success rate was not significantly different (92% vs. 97.1%, P = 0.254). The rates of all-grade complications (36% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.05) and postoperative ileus or small-bowel obstruction (20% vs. 2%, P = 0.003) were significantly higher in the right-sided group. The rates of the Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ III complications (8% vs. 6.9%, P = 1) and the median durations of postoperative hospital stay (8 days vs. 8 days, P = 1) were not significantly different. On multivariate analysis, right-sided colon cancer was an independent risk factor for postoperative ileus or small-bowel obstruction (odds ratio [OR]: 16.5, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.42-112, P = 0.004) but not for all grades of complications (OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 0.976-7.09, P = 0.056). CONCLUSIONS Although the rates of clinical success, postoperative Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ III severe complications, and postoperative hospital stay were comparable, the bridge to surgery following stent placement for right-sided obstructive colon cancer raises concerns about ileus or small-bowel obstruction.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer. A transanal decompression tube (24Fr Nelaton catheter) was placed laparoscopically during the surgery. Contrast enema on postoperative day 5 showed perforation of the sigmoid colon around the tip of the tube, and emergency laparotomy was performed. Perforation of the posterior sigmoid colon located on the proximal side of the colorectal anastomosis at the level of the promontorium was identified. Closure of the perforation site, lavage drainage, and a diverting loop ileostomy were performed. Although a transanal decompression tube is useful in preventing anastomotic leakage, tube-related colon perforation should be noted, and controversies about the safety of laparoscopically transanal decompression tube placement should be resolved. Adequate management for tube placement should be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To compare the outcomes of totally implantable central venous access device (TIVAD) insertions by surgical residents (SRs) with those by experienced surgeons (ESs) and establish the safety of percutaneous TIVAD insertion by SRs. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 700 insertions were successfully performed between January 2015 and December 2019 in our Department. The puncture site conversion and complication rates were compared, and risk factors related to complications were analysed. RESULTS In total, 84 and 616 insertions were performed in the SR and ES groups, respectively. SRs mainly punctured the internal jugular vein (IJV), and ESs punctured the subclavian vein (SV). The conversion rate from the IJV to SV was similar, whereas that from the SV to IJV was higher by SRs than ESs. Overall, early, and delayed complications were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION Percutaneous TIVAD inserted into the IJV by an SR was demonstrated to be safe.

Abstract
PURPOSE To the best of our knowledge, no studies have compared the short-term outcomes between colo-colonic extracorporeal triangular anastomosis (TA) and functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA), with a focus on laparoscopic-assisted surgery for left-sided colon cancer. Therefore, this study compared the short-term outcomes of these anastomoses using propensity score matching analysis. METHODS This retrospective study included 129 patients with stage I-IV left-sided colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery with colo-colonic extracorporeal TA (n = 75) or FEEA (n = 54) between May 2009 and March 2021. After propensity score matching, 84 patients (TA, n = 42; FEEA, n = 42) were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was the complication rate for all grades, and the secondary endpoints were the rates of Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications and anastomotic leakage. RESULTS In the matched cohort, there were no significant differences in the complication rates for all grades (35.7% vs. 26.2%, p = 0.479), Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications (11.9% vs. 11.9%, p = 1), and anastomotic leakage (0% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.494) between the TA and FEEA groups. In the univariate logistic regression analysis, TA did not increase the frequency of complications for any grades compared with FEEA (odds ratio: 1.570, 95% confidence interval: 0.616-3.980, p = 0.347). CONCLUSION Extracorporeal TA demonstrated equivalent short-term outcomes compared with FEEA in cases of laparoscopic-assisted surgery for left-sided colon cancer. TA can be an alternative anastomosis technique in cases wherein FEEA is difficult to perform.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal (LHR) has recently been reported to be safer and more feasible than open Hartmann's reversal (OHR); however, there is limited data on the outcomes of LHR compared with those of OHR from Asian countries. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the postoperative outcomes of LHR compared with OHR, and additionally compare the patient outcomes post-LHR according to the previous Hartmann's procedure (HP) approach. METHODS Patients who underwent OHR and LHR between January 2006 and September 2020 in a single center in Japan, were retrospectively evaluated. Patient characteristics and perioperative data were collected from the medical and surgical records and assessed. RESULTS Overall, 15 and 19 patients underwent OHR and LHR, respectively, between January 2006 and September 2020. LHR was associated with less blood loss (median: 15 mL vs 185 mL; P < .001) and shorter hospital stays (9 days vs 14 days; P = .023) than OHR. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between LHR and OHR (26.3% vs 40.0%, P = .475). However, two severe anastomotic complications in LHR were observed in patients with the stump below the peritoneal reflection. No significant difference in outcomes was observed between LHR patients who underwent open and laparoscopic HP. CONCLUSION LHR resulted in positive outcomes regarding estimated blood loss and postoperative hospitalization, compared with OHR. Although the postoperative complications between LHR and OHR were not significant, patients with the stump below the peritoneal reflection may be at a high risk of anastomotic complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies have investigated the long-term oncological outcomes of the self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery (BTS) for obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC). We conducted this study to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of the SEMS with those of the traditional transanal decompression tube (TDT) in patients with stage II and III left-sided OCRC. METHODS The subjects of this retrospective study were 78 patients with pathological stage II and III left-sided OCRC who underwent radical surgery after SEMS or TDT placement, between April, 2005 and September, 2019. We compared perioperative data, including decompression success rates and 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS), between the SEMS and TDT groups. RESULTS A SEMS was placed in 60 (76.9%) patients and a TDT was placed in 18 (23.1%) patients, achieving a clinical success rate of decompression of 98.3% in the SEMS group and 77.8% in the TDT group (P = 0.009). The 3-year RFS of the overall cohort was better in the SEMS group than in the TDT group (74.9% vs. 40.9%, respectively; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Decompression using a SEMS as the BTS may improve oncological outcomes over those achieved by a TDT in patients with left-sided stage II and III OCRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of positive intraoperative peritoneal cytology and lavage cytology, including the differences in their prognostic impact, in colorectal cancer is controversial. We aimed to investigate the prognostic values of positive peritoneal cytology and lavage cytology findings for colorectal cancer and compare their prognostic impact. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 592 clinical stage II-IV colorectal cancer patients who underwent peritoneal cytology (n = 225) or lavage cytology (n = 367) between November 1993 and December 2018. The prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival were identified, and the differences in cancer-specific survival were examined between the patients. RESULTS The cytology-positive rate was 10.8% (64/592), 17.8% (40/225), and 6.5% (24/367) in the overall, peritoneal cytology, and lavage cytology groups, respectively. Both positive peritoneal cytology (hazard ratio: 2.196) and lavage cytology (hazard ratio: 2.319) were independent prognostic factors. The peritoneal cytology-positive group showed significantly poorer cancer-specific survival than the cytology-negative group (5-year: 3.5% vs. 59.5%; 10-year: 3.5% vs. 46.1%, p < 0.001). Similar results were obtained for lavage cytology (5-year: 14.1% vs. 73.9%; 10-year: 4.7% vs. 63.5%, p < 0.001). The cancer-specific survival was not significantly different between the peritoneal cytology-positive and lavage cytology-positive groups (p = 0.058). Both positive peritoneal and lavage cytology were associated with poorer cancer-specific survival across all colorectal cancer stages. CONCLUSIONS Positive peritoneal and lavage cytology are associated with worse cancer-specific survival in colorectal cancer. The prognostic impact was comparable between positive lavage and peritoneal cytology. Thus, cytology should be a standard assessment modality for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Male breast cancer is rare, accounting for less than 1% of breast cancers. Because of its rarity evidence of the usefulness sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for male breast cancer has not been established. Moreover, a navigation system which can easily determine the incision site of SLNB is needed because a second incision for SLNB is necessary in most cases. We report successful computed tomographic lymphography (CTLG)-guided SLNB in two male breast cancer cases: the first patient was a 79-year-old man and the second was a 64-year-old man. Both had presented with a lump behind the nipple. Clinical diagnoses were early breast carcinoma in both cases. The second patient took tamoxifen 20 mg daily as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy. SLNs were clearly visualized by CTLG, allowing mastectomies with SLNB to be performed. Both SLNB were negative, such that axillary lymph node dissection was not needed. Preoperative CTLG is useful for visualizing lymph flow and detecting SLN in male breast cancer.

Abstract
An approximately 50-year-old man with rectal cancer(RbP)[ cT3(cA), cN3, cM0, and cStage IIIb] who desired anus preservation was administered mFOLFOX6 therapy. This treatment decreased the size of both the tumor and the lymph node, and intersphincteric resection (ISR) was performed. Histopathology demonstrated tumor invasion beyond the muscularis propria, and the histological effectiveness was Grade 2. Because computed tomography showed an abscess in the dissection area, we performed postoperative drainage and the patient recovered. Therapy with mFOLFOX6 was repeated after the patient was discharged from hospital. Increased adoption of anus-preserving surgery is expected via successful control of local recurrence and distant metastasis by neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Unique effects of sham-pinealectomy [intracranial surgery (IS)] which include reduced functional activity of the adrenal gland and suppressed circadian rhythms of the adrenal medulla, and which are reversed by pinealectomy, have been reported in rodents. To clarify the mechanisms, we investigated whether or what changes occur in pineal functional activity after IS. Sixty-six male rats of normal and IS groups were used at 50 days of age. The pineal gland was first examined by quantitative electron microscopy. The Sudan III-stained lipid droplet content of the pinealocytes and plasma melatonin level were then investigated using the same animals. In IS rats, the lipid droplet content of the pinealocytes decreased in both the dark and light phases 14 days after surgery. Mean volumetric ratio of nucleus, nucleolus, and mitochondria tended to increase in IS rats. The mean plasma concentration of melatonin showed apparent day-night changes, but no significant changes because of IS, 36 h and 14 days after surgery. But in the dark phase 14 days after surgery, plasma melatonin levels showed increased dispersion of values (P < 0.04). Thus, after IS the lipid content of pinealocytes showed changes not closely related to those of plasma melatonin level. From these and other results it is speculated that IS effects are dissimilar to usual stress responses, that day-night rhythms of functional activities of the pineal and adrenal medulla are differently controlled, and that pineal gland-dependent IS effects are most probably induced by changed sensitivity/states of target mechanisms to the pineal hormone melatonin.

Abstract
We aimed to explore whether and how the pineal influences the adrenal medulla, the area postrema and the brain water content; and is influenced by sham pinealectomy (SPX) in its structures and melatonin secretion. Quantitative morphological methods were mainly used in rats and golden hamsters. Experimental results showed: (1) Pineal effects on the A cell system of the adrenal medulla were inhibitory to the synthesis and secretion of epinephrine into the perivascular space and stimulatory to the opioid synthesis, and augmented by SPX. Time-of-day changes were also influenced by SPX and PX. (2) The sizes of a part of the nuclei of nerve and glia cells in the area postrema and the brain water content increased by SPX depending on the presence of the pineal, suggesting the pineal's stimulatory effects on these following SPX. (3) SPX caused morphological changes suggesting an increased activity of pinealocytes. However, corresponding consistent increases in plasma melatonin levels were not seen following SPX. Possible interpretations of these observations were discussed.
