Furthermore, the secondary outcomes were anastomotic site healing, reintervention rate, and rate of anastomotic complications such as bleeding, leakage, stenosis, and obstruction. Six pigs were euthanized, and necropsies were performed 3 months postoperatively, while two pigs were fed for long-term observation. The anastomotic stoma was histologically analyzed using Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining.RESULTSEnd-to-end colonic anastomoses were successfully performed using through-the-scope \"bow-tie\" devices, and satisfactory healing was achieved in all pigs. The success rate of anastomosis was 100% (8/8). All animals survived postoperatively without anastomotic complications, including bleeding, leakage, or obstruction; however, two cases of stenosis occurred (25%), and one case (12.5%) required reintervention.LIMITATIONSLarge-scale studies should be conducted to verify the feasibility and safety of the through-the-scope \"bow-tie\" device in other parts of the intestine.CONCLUSIONSFlexible endoscopy with the through-the-scope \"bow-tie\" device is feasible and safe for intraluminal colonic anastomosis.

Within diverticulitis, no systematic collation of available evidence has been performed.OBJECTIVETo assess frequency, variety, and association directions for social determinants of health in colonic diverticular disease.DATA SOURCESFour electronic databases were queried: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science.STUDY SELECTIONIncluded studies reported symptomatic left-sided colonic diverticular disease with respect to a social determinant of health according to the Healthy People 2030 initiative or applicable proxy variable. Studies with non-English full text, cohort size fewer than 50, pediatric cohorts, and exclusively non-left sided disease were excluded.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESQuality assessment through modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale, frequency of variables reported, and effect size trends for common comparisons.RESULTSAmong 50 included studies, 40 were good and 10 were fair in quality. Social determinants of health in diverticulitis were identified across Economic Stability, Education Access and Quality, Health Care Access and Quality, Neighborhood and Built Environment, and Social and Community Context domains. The two most common variables were self-reported race and ethnicity (n = 33) and insurance (n = 22). Among 18 unique studies reporting comparisons of white versus any other self-reported race and ethnicity, twelve identified a disparity disadvantaging non-white groups with effect sizes (95% confidence interval ranging from 1.23 [1.10 -1.37] to 5.35 [1.32 - 21.61]). Among 15 unique studies reporting a non-private versus private insurance comparison, nine identified non-private insurance as a risk factor with effect sizes (95% confidence intervals ranging from 1.15 [1.02 - 1.29] to 3.83 [3.01 - 4.87]).LIMITATIONSRetrospective studies, heterogeneity across cohort and variable definitions.CONCLUSIONSSocial determinants of health domains are associated with a variety of diverticulitis outcomes.

Median time from end of (chemo)radiotherapy or local excision to first detection of suspected nodal regrowth on magnetic resonance imaging following watch-and-wait was 9 and 10 months. After first detection, 17 of 35 patients underwent immediate treatment without further diagnostics, of whom 7 also had luminal regrowth. In 18 of 35 patients, additional diagnostic procedures were performed. In 4 of 18 patients, positron emission tomography-computed tomography or endorectal ultrasound-guided biopsy was performed and treatment was initiated based on increased nodal regrowth suspicion. In 14 of 18 patients, MRI was repeated after 8-12 weeks: growth of suspected lymph nodes was the most decisive factor to proceed to treatment. In 8 patients, repeated magnetic resonance imaging was combined with positron emission tomography-computed tomography and/or endorectal ultrasound-guided biopsy: in half of them it contributed to treatment initiation. In total, 34/35 patients were treated: 9 received (re-)irradiation and 33 underwent total mesorectal excision. In 27 of 33 patients, nodal regrowth was pathologically confirmed in the total mesorectal excision-resection specimen; 5 of 6 patients without nodal involvement had pathologically confirmed luminal regrowth.LIMITATIONSHighly selected study population.CONCLUSIONSDuring watch-and-wait follow-up of patients with rectal cancer in an organ preservation strategy, magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of nodal regrowth. Repeated magnetic resonance imaging after an interval can be helpful in making treatment decisions, and the role of positron emission tomography-computed tomography and endorectal ultrasound-guided biopsy appears limited.
