  • Recurrence After Rectopexy: Insights From Magnetic Resonance Defecography. [Journal Article]
    Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Jul 01; 69(7):1911-1920.Colbran RE, Neshatian L, … Gurland BHDC
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to integrate MRI findings with clinical factors in evaluating recurrence risk. Some measures of low muscle mass (sarcopenia), an enterocele or cul-de-sac hernia, and diabetes mellitus may be associated with recurrence. Diabetic control and sarcopenia are potentially modifiable through lifestyle interventions, highlighting opportunities for preoperative optimization. Larger-scale studies are warranted to validate these predictors and guide risk-stratified management. See Video Abstract.

  • Risk of Metabolic Disease After Right- vs Left-Sided Colectomy for Colon Cancer: A Nationwide Cohort Study. [Journal Article]
    Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Jun 19. [Online ahead of print]Oh SY, Lee J, … Yoo NDC
  • CONCLUSIONS: The anatomic laterality of colectomy was differentially associated with metabolic outcomes; right-sided resection was associated with a lower risk of incident dyslipidemia. These findings suggest that surgical laterality may inform postoperative metabolic risk stratification and support incorporating routine lipid monitoring into post-colectomy survivorship care. See Video Abstract.

  • Sexual Distress Is Common in Long Term Follow-up After Pelvic Pouch for Ulcerative Colitis: A Cross-Sectional Study. [Journal Article]
    Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Jun 19. [Online ahead of print]Johnson G, Hart TL, … Kennedy EDC
  • CONCLUSIONS: Sexual distress is common following pelvic pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis, particularly among women, and is strongly associated with bowel dysfunction, anxiety, and depression. These findings highlight the importance of holistic pre- and postoperative counselling and consideration of psychological screening in follow-up care. Further research is needed to elucidate underlying mechanisms and develop targeted interventions. See Video.

  • Patient-Level Socioecological Comorbidities and Time to Initiation of Curative-Intent Treatment for Colorectal Cancer. [Journal Article]
    Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Jun 15. [Online ahead of print]Huang Y, Schultz KS, … Leeds ILDC
  • CONCLUSIONS: Patients with high socioecological comorbidity were half as likely to have initiated colorectal cancer treatment compared to those with low comorbidity, particularly among patients referred from outside the health system. Area-level indices failed to capture these delays. These findings support perioperative screening at the individual level. Future research should evaluate targeted interventions to reduce barriers to timely cancer care. See Video Abstract.
