RCT: Morbidity after mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotics prior to rectal resection. The MOBILE2 randomized clinical trial. by BJS AcademyIn this study that included 565 procedures, the addition of oral antibiotics reduced the rate of surgical site infections (odds ratio 0.45, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.27 to 0.77) and anastomotic leaks (0.39, 0.21 to 0.72).
Comment: The authors suggest this should be the standard of care.

Sacral neuromodulation improved the number of patients able to defaecate on average at least three times a week (53.5 versus 3.8 per cent in controls, P=0.003), and improved their quality of life (P<0.001), in this study that included 67 patients followed for six months.
Comment: Promising, minimally invasive treatment.

Ozcan C, Colak T, Turkmenoglu O, Berkesoglu M, Ertas E.
Br J Surg 2024; 111: znae189.
Use of the small bite technique reduced the rate of surgical site infection (18 versus 31 per cent, P=0.03) and the incisional hernia rate after two years (9 versus 31 per cent, P<0.001).
Comment: Small bites strongly recommended.
