One of the most serious complications after low anterior resection is the failure of sutures of colorectal anastomosis, which is the most common surgical complication that results in patient’s death. Promptly diagnosed anastomotic leakage in postoperative period is challenging. Nevertheless, elimination of risk factors in preoperative period can significantly reduce complication rates.The purpose of this review article is to analyze possible risk factors and methods for preventing colorectal anastomosis leakage.An important area of prevention and optimization of treatment options for anastomotic leakage is the development of prognostic measures to eliminate risk factors. We see the prospects for this direction in the introduction of a nomogram, which allows the surgeon to assess the possible outcomes of the operation, to choose the optimal tactics with a minimum risk of complications, as well as the introduction of methods to avoid or prevent the development of complications of colorectal anastomosis.

This review aims to provide up-to-date information on the factors associated with an increased risk of vaginal fistula in women with cervical cancer, as well as on methods of their prevention and treatment. It includes data on various types of vaginal fistulas in cervical cancer patients and risk factors for their development, according to foreign and Russian research articles published over the last 20 years. Cervical cancer is one of the most challenging oncological diseases in the Russian Federation, because it is detected at stage III–IV in more than 30 % of women. Such a high incidence of cervical cancer and the need for radiotherapy determine high risk of fistulas, which significantly impairs the quality of life. Thus, identification of factors associated with vaginal fistulas, as well as methods of their prevention and treatment remains a highly relevant task for the Russian healthcare system.

The aim of the study: to increase the frequency of achieving pathologic complete response and increase disease-free survival in the investigational group of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer T3(MRF+)–4N0–2M0 by developing a new strategy for neoadjuvant therapy.Materials and methods. In total, 414 patients were assigned to treatment. Control group I included 89 patients who underwent radiotherapy (RT) 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week. Control group II included 160 patients who underwent RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week and oxaliplatin once a week, during the course of RT. Study group III consisted of 165 patients. This group combined RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week and additional consecutive CapOx cycles. This group was divided into 2 subgroups: subgroup IIIa included 106 patients with consolidating chemotherapy (after CRT); subgroup IIIb included 59 patients who underwent “sandwich” treatment. Therapy consisted of conducting from 1 to 2 cycles of induction CapOx (up to CRT) and from 1 to 2 cycles of consolidating CapOx with an interval of 7 days. In the interval between the courses of drug therapy, RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions was performed. According to the results of the control examination, further treatment tactics were determined. The primary end points were 5-year disease-free survival and the achievement of a pathologic complete response.Results. Pathologic complete response was significantly more often recorded in patients in the investigational group III (17.48 %; p = 0.021) compared with control groups (7.95 % in the I group and 8.28 % in the II group). 5-year disease-free survival in patients in the study groups was: 71.5 % in the III group, 65.6 % in the II group and 56.9 % in the I group.Conclusion. The shift in emphasis on strengthening the neoadjuvant effect on the tumor and improving approaches to drug therapy regimens have significantly improved disease-free survival of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Background. Ovarian cancer is a complex and poorly studied disease that kills nearly 70–80 % of patients. Therefore, practitioners are interested in any opportunity of improving survival of these patients. From this point of view, investigation of genetic and epigenetic functions associated with this pathology is quite promising.Objective: to assess clinical and morphological characteristics of tumors in ovarian cancer patients, considering the presence of mutations and methylation in the BRCA1/2 gene.Materials and methods. This study included 180 ovarian cancer patients (FIGO stage I–IV) treated in the N. N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center between 2008 and 2019. Study participants were divided into 3 groups according to their BRCA status and the number of primary tumors. We collected and analyzed venous blood, biopsy samples of ovarian cancer, archived histological sections, and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. DNA isolated from venous blood was used to identify the following germline mutation by pyrosequencing: BRCA1 5382insC, BRCA1 4153delA, BRCA1 185delAG, and BRCA26174delT. DNA isolated from biopsy specimens and paraffin-embedded tissue specimens was used to analyze methylation in the promoter regions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes by bisulfite sequencing (PyroMark Q24 DNA Sequencer; Qiagen, USA) with specific primers targeting promoter regions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.Results. Molecular testing demonstrated that the frequency of BRCA1 gene mutations was 21.1 % (38/148) in patients with solitary ovarian cancer and 40.6 % (13/32) in patients with multiple primary ovarian cancers. The frequency of methylation of the BRCA1 gene promoter was 2.2 % (18/148) in patients with solitary ovarian cancer and 3.1 % (1 case) in patients with multiple primary ovarian cancers. All BRCA1 methylated ovarian tumors were serous adenocarcinomas, including high grade tumors in 15 patients (78.9 %) and low-grade tumors in 4 patients (21.1 %).Conclusion. Hypermethylation of the BRCA1 gene promoter was observed only in individuals with sporadic serous ovarian cancer. No methylation was detected in patients with non-serous ovarian cancer, as well as in patients carrying BRCA1 gene mutations (both with solitary ovarian cancer and with primary multiple ovarian tumors).

Objective: comparative assessment of long-term oncological results of laparoscopic extralevator and traditional abdominal-perineal resection (APR).Materials and methods. The analysis of immediate and long-term oncological results of treatment of 92 patients who underwent traditional laparoscopic and extralevator APR for low rectal cancer. Inclusion criteria were tumors of the lower ampullar rectum, excluding the performance of sphincter-sparing surgical interventions, and patients’ age up to 75 years. Exclusion criteria: distant metastases, histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. Analysis of immediate and long-term results was carried out.Results. The main group included patients who underwent extralevator APR (n = 62), patients in the control group (n = 30) underwent traditional APR. There were no significant differences in the type of neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment in the comparison groups (p >0.05). In the group of patients operated on in the volume of extralevator APR, 42 received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus 19 patients in the group of traditional APR, there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.21). In the extralevator APR group, perineal plastic surgery was performed significantly more often than in the traditional APR group (p = 0.001). When evaluating the immediate results, there was a statistically significant difference in the total number of complications between the study groups, such complications as bladder dysfunction following after surgery, inflammatory pelvic disease in the perineal wound, perineal hernia occurred significantly more often in the traditional APR group than in the extralevator APR group (p >0.05). In terms of overall and disease-free survival, the groups differed statistically significantly: 5-year overall survival in the main group was 90 % versus 62.5 % in the control group (p = 0.03), 5-year disease-free survival in the main group was 98.5 % versus 65 % in the control group, respectively (p = 0.01).Conclusions. Extralevator APR of the rectum is the most radical surgical intervention than with the traditional APR technique due to the lower risk of a positive circumferention resection margin, therefore, reducing the incidence of local recurrence, and as a result, improving overall and disease-free survival rates compared to the traditional technique.

Background. Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) is a new minimally invasive sphincter-sparing technology.Objective: to describe technical characteristics of VAAFT and evaluate short-term outcomes.Materials and methods. We used a specialized surgical video system (VAAFT®; Karl Storz) for the treatment of complex high rectal fistulas. This technology allows a surgeon to use a special fistuloscope to perform visual examination of the fistula, find its internal opening, and detect secondary fistula passages and inflows. In addition to visual inspection, it is possible to simultaneously conduct a cytological brush through the working channel of the endoscope in order to clear the fistula from detritus and desquamate lining mucosa, and then perform fistula ablation using a monopolar electrode. The internal opening of the fistula can be either closed by a flap or sutured using a linear stapling device or closed using an endoscopic clip with additional sealing of the suture line with biological glue.Results. Between September 2017 and August 2019, a total of 112 patients underwent VAAFT® surgeries. Ninety-three patients (83 %) were followed up for 6 months postoperatively. We observed no significant complications during the follow-up period. The majority of study participants (85 %) did not experience severe pain (>2–4 points on a visual-analog scale) in the early postoperative period. Primary healing was achieved in 98 patients (87.5 %) within 2–3 months. Eighty-nine individuals (79.5 %) were followed up for more than 1 year. Rectal fistula healing within 1 year after VAAFT® surgery was observed in 82 % of patients.Conclusions. The main advantage of the VAAFT® technique is the combination of the diagnostic stage for fistula visualization and identification of the internal opening with the possibility of simultaneous surgical treatment.

The internal opening of the fistula can be either closed by a flap or sutured using a linear stapling device or closed using an endoscopic clip with additional sealing of the suture line with biological glue.Results. Between September 2017 and August 2019, a total of 112 patients underwent VAAFT® surgeries. Ninety-three patients (83 %) were followed up for 6 months postoperatively. We observed no significant complications during the follow-up period. The majority of study participants (85 %) did not experience severe pain (>2–4 points on a visual-analog scale) in the early postoperative period. Primary healing was achieved in 98 patients (87.5 %) within 2–3 months. Eighty-nine individuals (79.5 %) were followed up for more than 1 year. Rectal fistula healing within 1 year after VAAFT® surgery was observed in 82 % of patients.Conclusions. The main advantage of the VAAFT® technique is the combination of the diagnostic stage for fistula visualization and identification of the internal opening with the possibility of simultaneous surgical treatment.","PeriodicalId":34449,"journal":{"name":"Tazovaia khirurgiia i onkologiia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67787416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: to analyze short-term and long-term outcomes of expanded surgeries in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and to identify factors affecting their overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Materials and methods. This retrospective study included patients with recurrent ovarian cancer stage I–IV less than 80 years of age who was treated in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology, N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, between 2015 and 2017. Other inclusion criteria were as follows: time to relapse more than 12 months and no chemotherapy during the last 6 months or more. We analyzed the main perioperative parameters, OS, PFS, and prognostic factors affecting OS and PFS. Results. This study included 55 patients. Of them, 44 (80 %) women have undergone complete cytoreductive surgery, whereas 11 (20 %) women have undergone optimal cytoreductive surgery. The median duration of surgery was 210 minutes (range: 60–390 minutes), median blood loss was 400 mL (range: 30–4500 mL). Postoperative complications were observed in 23 (41.2 %) patients; 5 (9.1 %) patients developed grade IIIB complications. Median follow-up time was 30.3 months (range: 7.5–67.1 months). Three-year OS was 73.7 % and three-year PFS was 30.7 %. More than one line of chemotherapy before repeated cytoreductive surgery was found to be a negative factor affecting OS (hazard ratio 2.749; 95 % confidence interval 1.059–7.138; p = 0.038). The primary ECOG performance status had a significant impact on PFS (hazard ratio 0.543; 95 % confidence interval 0.347–0.851; p = 0.008). Conclusions. Poor ECOG status and more than one line of chemotherapy before repeated cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer relapse were demonstrated to have a negative impact on survival in this group of patients. However, in some patients, repeated cytoreductive surgeries ensured long-term remission.

Primary rectal melanoma is a rare malignant tumor with an aggressive course and poor prognosis. The article describes a clinical observation demonstrating the successful comprehensive treatment of primary rectal melanoma. A patient with a complicated course of rectal melanoma, stage IV of the first stage was performed by surgical treatment with removal of the external intestine according to the Hartmann type with removal of the uterine appendages from both sides of the en-block, and resection of the left pelvic plexus. In the postoperative period, the patient underwent chemoembolization of the liver with combined immunotherapy. The patient is alive two years after the operation; there is no evidence for local recurrence and progression of the disease.
