@rbarbosa91 @PipeCabreraV @GianlucaPellino @pferrada1 @SWexner @juliomayol @TomVargheseJr @CiruAndes2 with the pursestring, the wound is quite small and is fully excised if the spot is to be reused.

[Daniel Abramowitz @dan_abramowitz]

@rbarbosa91 @PipeCabreraV @GianlucaPellino @pferrada1 @SWexner @juliomayol @TomVargheseJr @CiruAndes2 The most important benefit of the purse string closure, at least in the IBD population is it keeps that area available for future stoma use. With linear closure, the wound edges are often raised and can make it difficult to pouch a stoma at that location

@FezaRemziMD @Averywalker21 There was a pooled analysis of OPRA vs CAO presented at ASCO that was probably as close as you can get to answering that question

[Daniel Abramowitz @dan_abramowitz]

@FezaRemziMD @Averywalker21 Staging, in its current form, is not reliable to discern nodal positivity. Hard to make decisions on clinical staging. Agree that WW is easier in patients requiring APR, we have to avoid creep into mid and upper tumors

[Daniel Abramowitz @dan_abramowitz]

@FezaRemziMD @Averywalker21 With our overall goals of decreasing local failure, improving survival and limiting toxicities of treatment
This data doesn’t confirm that we are missing an opportunity, that would require RCT of WW vs TME in cCR, patients wouldn’t enroll

[Daniel Abramowitz @dan_abramowitz]

@FezaRemziMD @Averywalker21 The current management of rectal cancer is complex and now we are trying to ask when and what treatments can be de-escalated based on patient and disease factors

[Daniel Abramowitz @dan_abramowitz]

@FezaRemziMD Or have we just selected out the bad biology. What we don’t know, is if they would have failed distantly even if they had TME
