The study supports using double FIT strategies in patients with PRB to safely guide investigation urgency and potentially reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.

Patients with PRB showed higher FIT positivity and greater sensitivity for CRC detection, particularly with a single FIT; no CRCs were missed when two FITs were both negative.

Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is effective in detecting colorectal cancer (CRC), even in patients with per rectal bleeding (PRB), a symptom traditionally excluded from FIT use.

Both Hartmann’s procedure and intersphincteric abdominoperineal excision are viable surgical options for patients unsuitable for anastomosis. Surgeons should use the technique in they are most confident with and experienced in.

The treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm through open surgery is still an important method and remains difficult. The NABV strategy, as a safe and reproducible technique, minimizes the risk of complications associated with spinal cord injury when implemented at experienced medical centres.

Elective sigmoidectomy after endoscopic detorsion is preferred as it carries the lowest mortality risk. Necrotic bowel, dependency, and co-morbidities predict death for both sigmoid and caecal volvulus.
