“…The etiology of rectal cancer is still not very clear, and the incidence is closely linked to the social environment, eating habits, genetic factors, and others. It is generally accepted that superabundant animal fat and protein intake and inadequate dietary fiber intake are high risk factors for rectal cancer (Vermeer et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014a). Because of the low location of the disease, it is easy to be diagnosed by digital rectal examination and sigmoidoscopy (Maas et al, 2015).…”

“…A potential application of this membrane can be represented by the need of promoting a faster closure of intestinal wounds following an anastomotic procedure. In fact, anastomotic leakage after the surgical treatment of intestinal cancers remains a major clinical concern and effective solutions are yet to be found [21,22]. In this perspective, such a polysaccharide-based membrane could be wrapped around the sutured part of the intestine (anastomosis) in order to enable the in situ release of the bioactive component (HA), thus promoting a faster wound closure.…”

“…Despite advances in surgical technique, anastomotic complications continue to be associated with a significant rate of morbidity and mortality; including potential permanent stoma formation, increased length of hospital stay [2], increased local recurrence [3] and significant financial implications for an ever strained health service. Anastomotic leaks occur in 5–15% of patients following a colorectal anastomosis [46] and are more frequently observed in those of a male sex, a BMI > 35 kg/m 2 , those who have had pre-operative chemo-radiation, or patients with tumours > 5 cm in size or within 7 cm of the anal verge [7]. Intraoperative assessment of anastomotic integrity is now common practice, whether by an air leak test, endoscopy, intraoperative dye test or laser fluorescence angiography.…”
