This video describes minimally invasive techniques for intersphincteric resection with lymph node dissection in patients with low rectal cancer. The progress in safe application of preoperative chemoradiation for distal rectal cancer has led to improved local control and an increase in the rate of anal sphincter preservation. The video first introduces the surgical anatomy of the internal and external anal sphincter and explains the indications for the minimally invasive approach in selected patients. Transabdominal and transanal procedures are then described step by step with the aim of enabling surgeons to achieve optimal functional and oncologic outcomes.

This video offers guidance on all aspects of the use of stainless steel crowns in children. It opens by explaining the indications and contraindications for placement of stainless steel crowns and outlining why the primary tooth in question was selected for a crown. Preoperative assessment of occlusion, anesthetization of the tooth, and tooth preparation are then described in detail, and guidance provided on crown selection and manipulation, including crown trimming, contouring, and crimping. Finally, the steps involved in crown cementation are presented and explained. Stainless steel crowns continue to form an invaluable part of the pediatric restorative dentistry armamentarium, with numerous indications in primary posterior teeth. They offer ease of placement compared with intracoronal restorations and provide unmatched durability and longevity to the treated tooth. This video will help clinicians to develop the skills required to incorporate stainless steel crowns into their pediatric practice, enabling them to retain and treat children in house.
