Rectal cancer threatening or affecting the prostatic plane: is partial prostatectomy oncologically adequate? Results of a multicentre retrospective s…
2015
Aim The management of rectal cancer threatening or affecting the prostatic plane is still under debate. The role of preoperative chemo radiotherapy and the extent of prostatectomy seem to be key points in the treatment of these tumours. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pathological circumferential margin status and the local recurrence rate following different therapeutic options. Method A multicentre, retrospective study was conducted of patients with rectal cancer threatening or affecting the prostatic plane, but not the bladder, judged by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

“Near-TME”: proposed standardisation of the technique for proctectomy in male patients with ulcerative colitis
2022
Abstract Background The aim of the present study was to describe in detail an approach to proctectomy in ulcerative colitis (UC), which can be standardized; near-total mesorectal excision (near-TME), to prevent injuries to autonomic pelvic nerves and subsequent sexual dysfunction. Methods We demonstrate the technique ex vivo on a cadaver from a male patient in lithotomy position and on a sagittal section of a male pelvis. We also demonstrate the technique in vivo in two male patients diagnosed with UC, with no history of sexual dysfunction or bowel neoplasia. The study was performed at the Human Embryology and Anatomy Department. University of Valencia, Spain. Results The posterolateral dis…
