This study reported 2 cases of generalized skin breakdown and one case of rectal bleeding resulting from pressure ulceration.

Many factors4 are believed to affect the anastomosis, such as age, sex, level of anastomosis, ASA score, BMI, steroid treatment, preoperative chemoradiotherapy, tumor stage, tumor size, operative time, number of stapler firings, weight loss, malnutrition, fluid/electrolyte disorders, alcohol consumption, intra-operative transfusions/blood loss, smoking and diabetes but the pathogenesis remains unclear, which brings difficulties to accurately predict AL in rectal cancer.

Conventional rectal MRI mainly includes high-resolution T2-weighted sequences oriented according to the axis of the tumor in the rectum; additionally, T1- and T2-weighted, pre- and post-contrast images are obtained including the pelvis.

Conclusion: Tumour depth, lymph node metastasis, postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen levels, complete tumour response on histopathology were found to be responsible for metachronous liver metastases in rectal cancer patients following curative resection.

Conclusion: Neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer is associated with high rates of tumor response in terms of downs tagging (complete and partial) and is relatively safe with acceptable morbidity, which favors its use in future.
