- A Novel Hybrid Retroperitoneal Approach and Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery II for Surgical Treatment of Rectosigmoid Cancer. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 26. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: This approach represents a novel advancement in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, providing direct vascular access without entering the abdominal cavity and eliminating visible scars. It offers potential advantages for complex cases with adhesions or elevated body mass index and warrants further validation in larger prospective series. See New Technology Report Video.

- Defining Volume Thresholds for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Using Stratum Specific Likelihood Ratios. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 21. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: Stratum-specific likelihood ratios reveal persistent volume-outcome associations for colorectal cancer resections across multiple strata, even in contemporary data. These findings suggest that the reports of an attenuated volume-outcome relationship may reflect limitations of a single, static volume cutoff, rather than weakening of this association. See Video Abstract.

- CONCLUSIONS: Transanal and transabdominal combined endoscopic redo surgery was associated with high rates of anatomical success and restoration of bowel continuity, with acceptable morbidity. A preexisting chronic anastomotic defect was associated with anastomosis-related failure and should be considered during patient selection and counseling. See Video Abstract.
