Key factors associated with attrition include socio-demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, and income), clinical and logistical issues (e.g., waiting times, insurance barriers), and psychosocial characteristics (e.g., anxiety, substance use, and motivation).

Addressing this issue will likely require support systems that are flexible, multidisciplinary, and responsive to individual circumstances.

The patient underwent optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy and commenced olaparib maintenance therapy. As of September 2024, she remains disease-free. This case raises the concern that bariatric surgery, by restoring ovulatory function and altering metabolic and hormonal balance, may unmask a latent susceptibility to cancer in genetically predisposed patients. The temporal association between metabolic surgery and early-onset ovarian cancer warrants further investigation into postoperative hormonal shifts and cancer surveillance strategies.

Nevertheless, urogenital dysfunction remains a significant source of postoperative morbidity, primarily due to the anatomical location of the rectum and its close relationship with the autonomic pelvic nerves. Although the incidence of urological complications has declined to below 10%, sexual dysfunction continues to affect approximately one-quarter of patients. Nerve-sparing total mesorectal excision, performed without compromising oncological principles, has therefore become a critical component of contemporary rectal cancer surgery. Minimally invasive video-assisted techniques, offering magnified visualization and enhanced precision during pelvic dissection, facilitate the accurate identification and preservation of autonomic nerve structures. However, current evidence indicates that awareness and consistent application of nerve-sparing principles remain suboptimal, even among experienced colorectal surgeons. This video systematically demonstrates the key anatomical landmarks and stepwise surgical maneuvers required for effective nerve preservation during total mesorectal excision, aiming to reduce urogenital functional morbidity.</p>","PeriodicalId":23374,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"142-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12964078/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146214332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
