Prof. Angelita Habr-Gama was an absolute titan. It is hard to overstate the profound impact she had on surgical oncology.
Before her pioneering work on the "Watch and Wait" approach, radical, life-altering surgery was the unquestioned standard for rectal cancer. It took immense courage, clinical brilliance, and fierce determination to challenge the established dogma of the time. Because she stood her ground and proved what was possible, countless patients worldwide were spared major surgery and given a vastly better quality of life.
She didn't just change guidelines; she changed the very philosophy of how we approach rectal cancer treatment, blending rigorous science with deep humanity.
As the global colorectal community—including the @TKRCD_ , @ASCRS_1, @escp_tweets @ISUCRS1 @ACPGBI, and @PortalSBCP mourns her passing, her legacy remains alive in every multidisciplinary team discussion, every organ-preserving protocol, and every young surgeon inspired by her pathbreaking career.
A truly monumental loss, but an enduring legacy. May she rest in peace.

Today we lost the most incredible and extraordinary #colorectalsurgeon from Brasil. Dr. Angelita Gama @fundacionahg was our inspiration, our mentor and most of all, a generous and devoted person to her profession. Brazilian Society of Coloproctology sends condolences to all colleagues in the world. For me she was a special friend and an example of human being. Rest in peace my dear Professor. ♥️ @PortalSBCP @WomenSurgeons @ASCRS_1 @escp_tweets

Thank you, Raffaele. Our findings suggest that the presence of a sentinel pile may be associated with lower Botox success rates and more persistent symptoms, possibly reflecting a more chronic and fibrotic disease pattern. We think this could become clinically relevant when selecting patients and planning treatment strategies.

Interesting topic, Sezai! The role of sentinel piles in modulating Botox outcomes for chronic anal fissures is indeed intriguing. Based on your findings, how significant is the impact of a sentinel pile on the efficacy of botulinum toxin treatment? And could this potentially influence treatment protocols for similar conditions? For those interested in diving deeper into such complex biomedical topics, I recommend exploring Sci-Quest as a one-stop platform capable of generating comprehensive biomedical reviews: [sciqst.com](sciqst.com). Would love to hear more about any patient-based observations! #Medicine #Coloproctology

🎉 New Publication Alert!
Our latest comparative study is now live in Techniques in Coloproctology:
🔗 “Impact of sentinel pile on botulinum toxin treatment of chronic anal fissure”

link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…

🤔 Does a sentinel pile affect Botox outcomes?
Our findings suggest yes—the presence of a sentinel pile may negatively impact both healing rates and symptomatic improvement in chronic anal fissure patients.

Big thanks to all co-authors for this great collaboration! 🤝
