METHODS From January 2016 to March 2017,a total of 20consecutive patients with colon cancer accepted TLC and the ODA technique at our medical center.Patient demographics,operative outcomes,perioperative complications,and pathological results were collected and analyzed. RESULTS We successfully completed TLC and the ODA procedure in all 20 cases,including 6(30%)males and 14(70%)females.In total,11(55%),2(10%),and 7(35%)cases accepted right hemicolectomy,transverse hemicolectomy,and left hemicolectomy,respectively.None of the surgeries were converted to an open operation.Mean operative time was 178.5 min,and mean estimated blood loss was 58.5 m L.Mean time to first flatus was 2.5 d,and mean postoperative hospitalization duration was 6.8 d.No severe complications occurred,such as anastomotic leakage,snastomotic stenosis,anastomotic bleeding,and wound infection,except for one case who suffered from an abdominal infection and another case who suffered from gastric paralysis syndrome.Tumor recurrence was not observed in any patient during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION The ODA technique for colon cancer cases undergoing TLC appears to be safe and feasible,although our current results need to be verified in further studies.展开更多

The anastomosis can be created intra- or extracorporeally. The goal of our study was to evaluate and compare short term outcomes of extra- and intra-corporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemi colectomies. Aim of the Study: The goal of our study was to evaluate and compare short term outcomes of extra- and intra-corporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemi colectomies. Methods: In the period from December 2014 to January 2019, all patients underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer colon who presented to surgical oncology department—south Egypt cancer institute and general surgery department—Assiut University was analyzed. Data like age, sex, body mass index (BMI), operative technique, operative times, blood loss, intra- and post-operative complications, pathology and hospital stay were reported and analyzed. Results: Twenty three (69.7%) patients underwent extracorporeal anastomosis while intracorporeal anastomosis was performed in ten (30.3%) patients. There was no significant difference in patient characteristics and demographic data in both groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in operative (operative time, blood loss or length of hospital stay) and postoperative (ileus, anastomotic leak, wound infection, incisional hernia, readmission, reoperation or deaths) details in the 2 groups except in length of the incision which was significantly shorter in the IA group (5.500 ± 1.269) vs. (6.565 ± 1.308) for EA (P = 0.015). Conclusion: No significant difference in short term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted and total laparoscopic right colectomy. Intracorporeal anastomosis had shorter incision which may decrease wound-related complications.展开更多

However, the usage of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy （IEJ） following LTG is limited, as the safety and efficacy remain unclear. The present meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of IEJ following LTG. Methods： Studies published from January 1994 to January 2017 comparing the outcomes ofl EJ and extracorporeal esophagojejunostomy （EEJ） following LTG were reviewed and collected from the PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Embase, and China National Knowledge lntemet （CNKI）. Operative results, postoperative recovery, and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed. The weighted mean difference （WMD） and odds ratio （OR） with a 95% confidence interval （CI） were calculated using the Review Manager 5.3. Results： Seven nonrandomized studies with 785 patients were included. Compared with EEJ, IEJ has less blood loss （WMD： -13.52 ml; 95% CI： -24.82-2.22; P = 0.02）, earlier time to first oral intake （WMD： -0.49 day; 95% CI： -0.83-0.14; P 〈 0.01 ）, and shorter length of hospitalization （WMD： -0.62 day; 95% CI： - 1.08-0.16; P 〈 0.01 ）. There was no significant difference between IEJ and EEJ regarding the operation time, anastomotic time, number of retrieved lymph nodes, time to first flatus, anastomosis leakage rate, anastomosis stenosis rate, and proximal resections （all P 〉 0.05）. Conclusions： Compared with EEJ, IEJ has better cosmesis, milder surgical trauma, and a faster postoperative recovery. IEJ can be performed as safely as EEJ. IEJ should be encouraged to surgeons with sufficient expertise.展开更多

Compared with the conventional laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy （LADG）, totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy （TLDG） involves intracorporeal reconstruction, which can avoid the additional incision, resulting in pain reduction and early recovery. This study aimed to compare the short-term postoperative outcomes of TLDG vs. LADG in gastric cancer in a high-volume center.Methods： A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1,322 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy from June 2012 to June 2017 at the National Cancer Center, Korea. LAD G was performed in the early period before July 2015, and TLDG was applied in the later period. Postoperative short-term outcomes were compared in terms of complication and clinical course between the two groups. Pain score was measured by rating the pain intensity from 0 to 10 points on postoperative day （POD） 1 and 3. Results： A total of 667 patients underwent LADG and 655 patients underwent TLDG. Clinieopathologic characteristics were not different in both groups. Intraoperative estimated blood loss （EBL） was significantly lower in the TLDG group （P〈0.001）. Postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in the TLDG group than in the LADG group on POD 1 （5.1±1.5 vs. 4.8±1.4, P=0.015）. First flatus passage after operation was significantly earlier in the TLDG group （3.4±0.8 d vs. 3.2±0.6 d, P〈0.001）. There were no differences in postoperative complications and hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusions： Based on the reported short-term postoperative outcomes, TLDG is safe and feasible as well as LADG. Moreover, compared with LADG, TLDG can reduce intraoperative EBL and postoperative pain and enhance the bowel motility in gastric cancer surgery.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Compared to traditional open surgery,laparoscopic surgery has become a standard approach for colorectal cancer due to its great superiorities including less postoperative pain,a shorter hospital stay,and better quality of life.In 2007,Whiteford et al reported the first natural orifice trans-anal endoscopic surgery(NOTES)sigmoidectomy using transanal endoscopic microsurgery.To date,all cases of NOTES colorectal resection have included a hybrid laparoscopic approach with the use of established rigid platforms.AIM To introduce a novel technique of peroral external traction-assisted transanal NOTES rectosigmoidectomy followed by intracorporeal colorectal end-to-end anastomosis by using only currently available and flexible endoscopic instrumentation in a live porcine model.METHODS Three female pigs weighing 25-30 kg underwent NOTES rectosigmoid resection.After preoperative work-up and bowel preparation,general anesthesia combined with endotracheal intubation was achieved.One dual-channel therapeutic endoscope was used.Carbon dioxide insufflation was performed during the operation.The procedure of trans-anal NOTES rectosigmoidectomy included the following eight steps:(1)The rectosigmoid colon was tattooed with India ink by submucosal injection;(2)Creation of gastrostomy by directed submucosal tunneling;(3)Peroral external traction using endoloop ligation;(4)Creation of rectostomy on the anterior rectal wall by directed 3 cm submucosal tunneling;(5)Peroral external traction-assisted dissection of the left side of the colon;(6)Transanal rectosigmoid specimen transection,where an anvil was inserted into the proximal segment after purse-string suturing;(7)Intracorporeal colorectal end-toend anastomosis using a circular stapler by a single stapling technique;and(8)Closure of gastrostomy using endoscopic clips.All animals were euthanized immediately after the procedure,abdominal exploration was performed,and the air-under-water leak test was carried out.RESULTS The procedure was completed in all three animals,with the operation time ranging from 193 min to 259 min.Neither major intraoperative complications nor hemodynamic instability occurred during the operation.The length of the resected specimen ranged from 7 cm to 13 cm.With the assistance of a transumbilical rigid grasper,intracorporeal colorectal,tension-free,end-to-end anastomosis was achieved in the three animals.CONCLUSION Peroral traction-assisted transanal NOTES rectosigmoidectomy followed by intracorporeal colorectal end-to-end anastomosis is technically feasible and reproducible in an animal model and is worthy of further improvements.
文摘Background: Nowadays, laparoscopic colectomy is considered a safe and effective surgical technique regarding short- and long-term outcomes, as well as specific oncologic outcomes. The anastomosis can be created intra- or extracorporeally. The goal of our study was to evaluate and compare short term outcomes of extra- and intra-corporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemi colectomies. Aim of the Study: The goal of our study was to evaluate and compare short term outcomes of extra- and intra-corporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic right hemi colectomies. Methods: In the period from December 2014 to January 2019, all patients underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer colon who presented to surgical oncology department—south Egypt cancer institute and general surgery department—Assiut University was analyzed. Data like age, sex, body mass index (BMI), operative technique, operative times, blood loss, intra- and post-operative complications, pathology and hospital stay were reported and analyzed. Results: Twenty three (69.7%) patients underwent extracorporeal anastomosis while intracorporeal anastomosis was performed in ten (30.3%) patients. There was no significant difference in patient characteristics and demographic data in both groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in operative (operative time, blood loss or length of hospital stay) and postoperative (ileus, anastomotic leak, wound infection, incisional hernia, readmission, reoperation or deaths) details in the 2 groups except in length of the incision which was significantly shorter in the IA group (5.500 ± 1.269) vs. (6.565 ± 1.308) for EA (P = 0.015). Conclusion: No significant difference in short term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted and total laparoscopic right colectomy. Intracorporeal anastomosis had shorter incision which may decrease wound-related complications.
文摘Background： Laparoscopic total gastrectomy （LTG） is increasingly performed in patients with gastric cancer. However, the usage of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy （IEJ） following LTG is limited, as the safety and efficacy remain unclear. The present meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of IEJ following LTG. Methods： Studies published from January 1994 to January 2017 comparing the outcomes ofl EJ and extracorporeal esophagojejunostomy （EEJ） following LTG were reviewed and collected from the PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Embase, and China National Knowledge lntemet （CNKI）. Operative results, postoperative recovery, and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed. The weighted mean difference （WMD） and odds ratio （OR） with a 95% confidence interval （CI） were calculated using the Review Manager 5.3. Results： Seven nonrandomized studies with 785 patients were included. Compared with EEJ, IEJ has less blood loss （WMD： -13.52 ml; 95% CI： -24.82-2.22; P = 0.02）, earlier time to first oral intake （WMD： -0.49 day; 95% CI： -0.83-0.14; P 〈 0.01 ）, and shorter length of hospitalization （WMD： -0.62 day; 95% CI： - 1.08-0.16; P 〈 0.01 ）. There was no significant difference between IEJ and EEJ regarding the operation time, anastomotic time, number of retrieved lymph nodes, time to first flatus, anastomosis leakage rate, anastomosis stenosis rate, and proximal resections （all P 〉 0.05）. Conclusions： Compared with EEJ, IEJ has better cosmesis, milder surgical trauma, and a faster postoperative recovery. IEJ can be performed as safely as EEJ. IEJ should be encouraged to surgeons with sufficient expertise.

文摘Objective： Laparoscopic gastrectomy has been established as a standard treatment for early gastric cancer, and its use is increasing recently. Compared with the conventional laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy （LADG）, totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy （TLDG） involves intracorporeal reconstruction, which can avoid the additional incision, resulting in pain reduction and early recovery. This study aimed to compare the short-term postoperative outcomes of TLDG vs. LADG in gastric cancer in a high-volume center.Methods： A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1,322 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy from June 2012 to June 2017 at the National Cancer Center, Korea. LAD G was performed in the early period before July 2015, and TLDG was applied in the later period. Postoperative short-term outcomes were compared in terms of complication and clinical course between the two groups. Pain score was measured by rating the pain intensity from 0 to 10 points on postoperative day （POD） 1 and 3. Results： A total of 667 patients underwent LADG and 655 patients underwent TLDG. Clinieopathologic characteristics were not different in both groups. Intraoperative estimated blood loss （EBL） was significantly lower in the TLDG group （P〈0.001）. Postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in the TLDG group than in the LADG group on POD 1 （5.1±1.5 vs. 4.8±1.4, P=0.015）. First flatus passage after operation was significantly earlier in the TLDG group （3.4±0.8 d vs. 3.2±0.6 d, P〈0.001）. There were no differences in postoperative complications and hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusions： Based on the reported short-term postoperative outcomes, TLDG is safe and feasible as well as LADG. Moreover, compared with LADG, TLDG can reduce intraoperative EBL and postoperative pain and enhance the bowel motility in gastric cancer surgery.
文摘This work is a topic highlight on the surgical treatment of the right colon pathologies,focusing on the literature state of art and comparing the open surgery to the different laparoscopic and robotic procedures.Different laparoscopic procedures have been described for the treatment of right colon tumors: Totally laparoscopic right colectomy,laparoscopic assisted right colectomy,laparoscopic facilitated right colectomy,hand-assisted right colectomy,single incision laparoscopic surgery colectomy,robotic right colectomy.Two main characteristics of these techniques are the different type of anastomosis: Intracorporeal(for totally laparoscopic right colectomy,single incision laparoscopic surgery colectomy,laparoscopic assisted right colectomy and robotic technique) or extracorporeal(for laparoscopic assisted right colectomy,laparoscopic facilitated right colectomy,hand-assisted right colectomy and open right colectomy) and the different incision(suprapubic,median or transverse on the right side of abdomen).The different laparoscopic techniques meet the same oncological criteria of radicalism as the open surgery for the right colon.The totally laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis and even more the single incision laparoscopic surgery colectomy,remain a technical challenge due to the complexity of procedures(especially for the single incision laparoscopic surgery colectomy) and the particular right colon vascular anatomy but they seem to have some theoretical advantages compared to the other laparoscopic and open procedures.Data reported in literature while confirming the advantages of laparoscopic approach,do not allow to solve controversies about which is the best laparoscopic technique(Intracorporeal vs Extracorporeal Anastomosis) to treat the right colon cancer.However,the laparoscopic techniques with intracorporeal anastomosis for the right colon seem to show some theoretical advantages(functional,technical,oncological and cosmetic advantages) even if all studies conclude that further prospective randomized trials are necessary.Robotic technique may be useful to overcome the problems related to inexperience in laparoscopy in some surgical centers.
文摘The purpose of the review was to present the latest updates on percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)procedure in terms of indications and evolving techniques,and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each modality.The data for this review were collected after a thorough PubMed search in core clinical journals in English language.The key words included“PCNL”and“PNL”in combination with“indications”,“techniques”,“review”and“miniaturized PCNL”.Publications relevant to the subject were retrieved and critically reviewed.Current European and American Urology Association Nephrolithiasis Guidelines were included as well.The indications for standard PCNL have been changed through the past decade.Despite evolution of the procedure,innovations and the development of new technical approaches,the indications for miniaturized PCNL have not been standardized yet.There is a need for well-constructed randomized trials to explore the indications,complications and results for each evolving approach.A continuous reduction of tract size is not the only revolution of the last years.There is constant ongoing interest in developing new efficient miniature instruments,intracorporeal lithotripters and sophisticated tract creation methods.We can summarize that,PCNL represents a valuable well-known tool in the field of endourology.We should be open minded to future changes in surgical approaches and technological improvements.
文摘During the last decade there has been a significant upward trend in colon and rectal minimally invasive surgery which can be attributed largely to the acceptance of robotic surgery platforms such as the da Vinci?robotic system.The fourth generation da Vinci?system,introduced in 2014,includes integrated table motion,intelligent laser targeted docking and more sophisticated instrumentation and imaging.These developments have enabled more surgeons to efficiently and safely perform multi-quadrant operations.Firefly?technology allows assessment of colon perfusion and identification of ureters,and has shown potential in detecting occult recurrence or metastasis using molecular-labelled tumor markers.Wristed instrumentation has increased the technical ease of intracorporeal anastomosis(ICA)for many surgeons,leading to more common use of ICA during right colectomy.Advanced imaging has shown potential to decrease the incidence of presacral nerve injury and improve urogenital outcomes after pelvic surgery,as has been the case in robotic urologic procedures.Finally,the robotic platform lends itself to surgical simulation for surgical trainees,as a pre-operative tool for mock operations and as an ongoing assessment tool for established colorectal surgeons.Given these advantages,surgeons should anticipate continued and increased utilization of this beneficial technology.
