“…9,10,20,21 Immediate postoperative complications were mainly related to cases of bleeding from the staple line, similar to what occurred in previously reported series. [21][22][23] Considering that a fullthickness segment of the rectal wall is excised, it is surprising that pelvic sepsis was not encountered in any of our patients, confirming previous reports. 9,20 Gagliardi et al 21 reported sepsis complicating 3.5% of their 85 STARRs; all three cases resolved with a combination of intravenous antibiotics and/or transanal drainage.…”

“…Obviously, long-term results related to symptom severity score and ODS score and quality of life of the European STARR Registry have to be awaited. Zwischenzeitlich wurden von verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen die Sicherheit und die Effektivität der STARR-Operation bei geeigneter Patientenselektion mitgeteilt, wobei die Nachbeobachtungszeiten noch kurz sind [5][6][7][8][9]. Jedoch haben andere Publikationen bzw.…”

“…Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt scheint die transanale Stapler-Resektion des distalen Rektums (STARR) beim ODS infolge ventraler Rektozele und rektoanaler Intussuszeption bei korrekter Indikationsstellung und Patientenselektion ein sicheres Operationsverfahren mit vielversprechenden frühfunktionellen Ergebnissen zu sein [5][6][7][8][9], wobei generelle Empfehlungen oder publizierte Langzeitergebnisse noch fehlen. Da die Beurteilung des tatsächlichen Stellenwerts der STARR-Operation nur durch eine prospektive Evaluation der Ergebnisse erfolgen kann, war die Etablierung eines STARR-Registers nur logische Folge.…”
