Gastric cancer is a prevalent malignancy of the digestive system, and traditional laparoscopic radical gastrectomy remains a crucial treatment modality. However, the abdominal wound associated with specimen removal during this procedure conflicts with contemporary concept of minimally invasive surgery. Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) is an emerging minimally invasive surgical technique that has gained increasing utilization in patients with gastrointestinal tumors, owing to its benefits of reduced wound, accelerated postoperative recovery, and diminished postoperative pain. In recent years, the extensive application of NOSES technology for colorectal cancer in China has provided theoretical support for the minimally invasive treatment of gastric cancer. With the standardization of community health examinations in China, the incidence of early gastric cancer diagnoses is expected to rise, making NOSES surgery the likely future trend in the surgical treatment for early gastric cancer. However, this area remains under-explored both domestically and internationally. This paper aims to synthesize prior literature and review the historical development, current research status, advantages and disadvantages, technical challenges, and future directions of completely laparoscopic radical treatment of distal gastric cancer utilizing NOSES.
The close relationship between gastric cancer (GC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has garnered significant attention. On one hand, T2DM may play a role in the development and progression of GC, correlating with poor patient outcomes. On the other hand, after radical surgery for GC, T2DM can be effectively managed, potentially improving tumor prognosis. In recent years, bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) has revolutionized T2DM treatment for obese and overweight patients. Comparative analyses reveal similarities between surgical approaches for gastric cancer and BMS, leading to the emergence of the onco-metabolic surgery (OMS) concept, which suggests that radical tumor resection and T2DM remission in GC patients can be potentially achieved through a single procedure. However, there are notable differences between OMS and BMS, including target populations, surgical details, and perioperative management. Therefore, optimizing the application of the OMS concept in GC patients holds significant clinical importance. This article provides a review to facilitate the better implementation of this concept in practice.
In the past two decades, with the development and application of laparoscopic technique and the promotion of the concept of complete mesocolic excision, significant changes have occurred in the surgical treatment of right-sided colon cancer. The Chinese Society of Colorectal Surgery and Chinese Colorectal Research Consortium (CCRC) Organized national experts in colorectal surgery to form a consensus on 14 key clinical issues related to right hemicolectomy, taking into account the preferences of Chinese doctors and patients as well as the pros and cons of intervention measures, with a view to standardizing the surgical treatment of right colon cancer. The consensus recommendations were focused on three main aspects: (1) surgical anatomy: the key structures and its definitions related to the mesentery and vascular anatomy were clarified. It is recommended that the left side of the superior mesenteric artery be considered the medial boundary for complete mesocolic excision; (2) surgical technique: laparoscopy is recommended as the preferred surgical approach for right-sided colon cancer; (3) surgical principles: D2 lymph node dissection could be considered as the standard of care for right-sided colon cancer. Standard D2 could be considered as routine procedure unless preoperative imaging or intraoperative exploration revealed suspected regional lymph node metastasis. Dissection of infrapyloric lymph node is not recommended unless it is suspected as metastasis. Additionally, consensus recommendations were made regarding the location of vascular ligation, the extent of bowel resection, and anastomosis techniques.
Objective: To evaluate the characteristics, clinical management and clinical outcomes of type 2 intestinal failure (IF). Methods: A descriptive case-control study was carried out. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) the diagnosis of IF was performed according to the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN) consensus statement. (2) using a requirement for parenteral nutrition (PN) of 28 days or more as surrogate marker. (3) a multidisciplinary team (MDT) included surgeons, nutritionist, pharmacist, stoma therapists, and critical care physicians. (4) complete laboratory data. Patients with type 1 and type 3 IF and those who do not cooperate with follow-up. All the data of 67 type II IF were collected from the database in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from Jan 2016 to Dec 2023. The pathophysiology, clinical management, and outcomes of type II IF were analyzed. Results: A total of 67 type II IF were included. The median age was 54 (15-83) with 43 males and 24 females. The body mass index was (17.5±3.8) kg/m2, the incidence of malnutrition was 67.2% (45/67), the incidence of sarcopenia was 74.6% (50/67), the median number of previous surgeries was 2.0 (1-13), and the median duration time of PN was 2.1 (1-12) months. The underlying disease of type 2 IF included 36 Crohn`s disease, 2 ulcerative colitis, 3 radiation enteritis, 2 intestinal Behcet's disease, 4 mesenteric infarction, 1 aggressive fibromatosis, 5 abdominal cocoon syndrome, 5 gastrointestinal perforation, 1 hernia, 4 intestinal dysmotility, and 4 other reasons (gastrointestinal tumor, trauma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). According to the pathophysiology of IF, there were 33 intestinal fistula, 12 intestinal dysmotility, 6 mechanical obstruction, 13 short bowel syndrome, and 3 extensive small bowel mucosal disease. After treatment with MDT, 67 patients with type 2 IF received nutritional support therapy for intestinal rehabilitation treatment, of which 36 patients recovered with oral diet or enteral nutrition, 31 patients underwent reconstructive surgery after intestinal rehabilitation treatment failure. The median duration time of reconstructive surgery was 2.7 (1-9) months. 24 patients recovered intestinal autonomy after surgery, with 7 deaths, including 6 deaths due to abdominal infections and 1 case of intestinal dysmotility with abiotrophy and liver failure. Conclusion: Standardized multidisciplinary treatment plays an important role in type II intestinal failure, and it promotes patients with intestinal failure regain enteral autonomy.
The concept of membrane anatomy has been widely accepted and applied in clinical practice, but there are still many theoretical and practical conflicts. This article elucidates the fundamental concepts and manifestations of membrane anatomy, delineating its comprehensive integration of anatomical and surgical disciplines. Thereafter, this article specifically discusses its differences from the traditional anatomy and surgery, and then clarifies the important role of membrane anatomy as the third generation of surgical anatomy and the new surgical concept for the development of pelvic surgery.
