Therefore, correlation between tumor regression on MRI and definitive histology is not clearly known. The aim of the present study is to show this correlation to see if MRI can be a reliable tool to propose a rectal preservation strategy.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>All patients over 18 years of age with non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lower or middle rectum who have received neoadjuvant treatment followed by a re-assessment MRI prior to surgery, between 2015 and 2023 were retrospectively included. Tumor regression on MRI was defined using mrTumor Regression Grade (mrTRG) classification. Histological tumor regression grade (pTRG) was defined according to the Mandard classification. The statistical relationship between pTRG and mrTRG was determined by univariate logistic regression, with calculation of the odds ratio.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>76 patients were included. Most of the patients (57%) received chemoradiotherapy based on CAP50 and 26% received total neoadjuvant treatment. We found 63% concordance between mrTRG and pTRG. Moreover, among the 37% of patients for whom mrTRG and pTRG were not concordant, MRI overestimated the histological response in 71% of cases. MRI has a NPV of 81% (95% CI 73%–90%).

The purpose of this update is to outline the main reasons for short, medium, and long-term emergency department visits and re-hospitalizations in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. In the short term, patients may experience non-specific (pulmonary embolism, rhabdomyolysis) and specific (hemorrhage, fistula) complications. Their management is based on a multidisciplinary medical, nutritional, and interventional strategy, with an increasingly important role for surgical endoscopy.

The main reasons for early readmission are pain, acute urinary retention, bleeding, constipation, infection, anal fissure or hemorrhoid thrombosis. Later re-admissions can also occur due to anal stenosis, anal incontinence, and delayed healing. Prevention of complications is therefore essential to avoid these readmissions. This is based primarily on preoperative patient education regarding signs that may require emergency consultation, as well as on the identification of those patients at risk of bleeding, acute urinary retention, and infectious complications. Intraoperatively, adherence to the quality criteria of proctological surgery is essential, ranging from the choice of techniques to the control of hemostasis and certain technical details, such as respecting mucosal bridges in patients undergoing tripedicular hemorrhoidectomy, or chemical or surgical sphincterotomy in the case of fissurectomy.
