The close anatomical proximity of the colon, rectum and anus to the gynecologic and urologic organs often results in a disease affecting one of these organ systems to create complications in another. Many colorectal, gynecologic, and urologic diseases, and the management of their complications, necessitate technically-challenging reoperations. Reoperation on this anatomic area is often necessitated by cancer recurrence, adhesive disease, recurrence of pelvic prolapse disorders as well as in the execution of multi-staged procedures.
