METHODS The records of patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic anterior ...

INTRODUCTION Maternal pelvic capacity plays a major role during childbirth because the passage of fetus through bony birth canal enables vaginal birth. birthing position may influence upright positions optimize capacity, possibly due to free movement joints.

Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LaTME) following preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is technically demanding. The present study intended to evaluate predictive factors of surgical difficulty LaTME PCRT by using pelvimetric and nutritional factors. Consecutive LARC patients receiving after were included. Surgical was classified based upon intra...
