Can Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predict Circumferential Margins and TNM Stage in Rectal Cancer
TL;DR: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans provide poor predictive data as to subsequent pathologic tumor and node stage, but does produce reliable prediction of clear circumferential resection margins and provides valuable information in assessing whether patients can proceed to surgery without the need for preoperative radiotherapy.

Vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap reconstruction of the perineal defect after abdominoperineal excision is associated with low morbidity
TL;DR: To examine the short‐term outcomes of perineal reconstruction with a vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap following abdominoperineal excision (APE), a single flap is fitted to the pelvis.

Outcome of surgery for recurrent anal cancer: results from a tertiary referral centre.
TL;DR: The experience of abdominal perineal excision, with reconstruction of theperineal defect (APERR), within a tertiary centre is presented.

The inferior mesenteric vessels as recipients when performing free tissue transfer for pelvic defects following abdomino-perineal resection. A novel technique and review of intra-peritoneal recipient vessel options for microvascular transfer.
TL;DR: This article reports one such case where the inferior mesenteric vessels were used as recipient vessels for the microvascular transfer of a free Latissimus Dorsi musculocutaneous flap to reconstruct an extensive perineal defect following abdomino-perineal resection.
Ileostomy closure in an enhanced recovery setting
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the introduction of an ERP for ileostomy closure reduced hospital stay without affecting morbidity or readmission rates.
