Objective To investigate the application value of parallel and cross-to-overlap anastomosis method (PCOA) in three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer. Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 138 patients who underwent 3D laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital between July 2016 and July 2019 were collected. There were 83 males and 55 females, aged from 30 to 76 years, with a median age of 64 years. All the 138 patients with right hemicolon tumors were diagnosed as malignant tumors by enteroscopy and pathological examination before operation. The lymph node dissection and radical resection of right hemicolon cancer were performed according to the 9th edition of Japanese General Rules for Cancer of Colon, Rectum and Anus of the Japanese Colorectal Cancer Association. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect survival of patients and tumor recurrence and metastasis up to September 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were represented as percentages or absolute numbers. Results (1) Surgical situations: all the 138 patients underwent 3D laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolon cancer using PCOA to reconstruct digestive tracts, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time, time for PCOA, and volume of intraoperative blood loss was (151.0±54.0)minutes, (20.1±2.0)minutes, and (60±21)mL. (2) Postoperative situations: the time to first flatus, time to semi-liquid food intake, length of auxiliary incision, and incidence rate of postoperative complications were (2.5±0.4)days, (4.0±1.3)days, (3.0±0.2)cm, and 3.62%(5/138), respectively. Of the 5 patients with postoperative complications, 1 patient with intestinal obstruction was cured after conservative treatment including gastrointestinal decompression and nutritional support, 1 patient with anastomotic leakage was cured after conservative treatment including gastrointestinal decompression, local patency drainage, infection control and nutritional support, 1 patient with ascites and abdominal infection was cured after computed tomography-guided percutaneous catheter drainage, 1 patient with incisional infection was cured by controlling infection, strengthening dressing changes, local irrigation and drainage, 1 patient with pulmonary infection was cured after anti-infective treatment.The number of lymph nodes dissected after surgery, duration of postoperative hospital stay, and hospital expenses were 19±8, (7.2±4.1)days, and (4.8±1.4)×104 yuan. All the 138 patients were confirmed as colonic adenocarcinoma by postoperative pathological examination, including 27 cases of poorly di

China has the largest group of patients with colorectal cancer in the world, however, there are few international guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer from China, or research of high-level evidence in China. In recent years, colorectal surgery has developed rapidly in China, and great progress has been made both in clinical practice and in clinical research. But there are still many imbalances and under-regulations. In 2018, Chinese Society of Colorectal Surgery led the establishment of Chinese Colorectal Cancer Surgery Database (CCCD). The retrospective and prospective data collection coming from CCCD showed that the standardization of colorectal cancer surgery and data management needed to be improved, and the awareness of clinical research needed to be further improved. Therefore, how to carry out good clinical research and obtain high-level evidence based upon CCCD will be the great challenge for colorectal surgery in China.

Gallbladder cancer is a biliary malignant disease with difficulty in early diagnosis, high malignancy and poor prognosis. Radical resection is the most effective approach to improve the prognosis of patients. With the update of minimally invasive devices and the accumulation of surgeon experience, laparoscopic surgery has achieved satisfactory results in the treatment of malignant tumors of the digestive tract, but there is still controversy in its application in gallbladder cancer treatment, mainly due to lack of reliable evidence for improved survival outcomes. The current studies indicated that laparoscopic surgery could benefit some patients with early gallbladder cancer in perioperative period and survival. For advanced gallbladder cancer, although there is still no consensus on the resection extent, laparoscopic staging can prevent patients from unnecessary expanded resection. The minimally invasive process of radical cholecystectomy needs to be promoted through a high-quality diagnosis and treatment process. Only in this way can there be practical clinical evidence to guide the best clinical practice. Key words: Bile duct neoplasms; Treatment; Ra-dical cholecystectomy; Laparoscopy

With certain advantages of superior surgical fields and better chances for anus reservation, transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a novel surgical approach for low rectal cancer. Guidelines recommend multidisciplinary team (MDT) work as a clinical routine for standardized treatment of rectal cancer. Indication of TaTME depends on multidisciplinary discussion including preoperative staging, prediction of recurrence risks. Standardized preoperative evaluation by MDT and decisions after MDT discussion are the guarantee for the stan-dardized implementation and reasonable promotion of TaTME. Meanwhile, as a procedure for improving local efficacy of rectal cancer, TaTME could save a part of patients with low rectal cancer the trouble of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy based on accurate staging by radiologists. That might upgrade status of colorectal surgeons in the MDT and contribute to optimize both curative effects and health economics.

Splenic hilar lymph node (LN) is the difficulty and focus of perigastric LN dissection during radical gastrectomy for advanced proximal gastric cancer (APGC). Although the new edition of Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines excluded the splenic hilar LN from the D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with APGC, there are still few high-level evidences. Meanwhile, the guideline recommends that splenectomy is still necessary for patients with APGC involving the greater curvature. With the support of increasing evidences, the spleen-preserving splenic hilar LN dissection has been recognized by more and more scholars. Additionally, the technique of laparoscopy provides a new method for splenic hilar LN dissection. Our center proposed a new technique named Huang′s three-step maneuver for laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy, which not only reduces the difficulty of operation, but also makes the technique easier to popularize and with a significance of minimally invasive effect. During the clinical practice, the dissection of LNs behind the splenic portal vessels is also one of the controversies. Therefore, the difficult technique of splenic hilar LN dissection not only requires us to make a technical exploration, but also requires us to explore precise indications, in order to avoid unnecessary operation in patients who do not require dissection of the No.10 LNs and to avoid missing the opportunity for radical surgery in high-risk patients because of the difficult techniques.
