ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The main treatment modality for gastric cancer is surgical resection with lymphadenectomy. Despite advances in perioperative care, major surgical complications can occur in up to 20% of cases. To determine the quality of surgical care employed, a new indicator called failure to rescue (FTR) was proposed, which assesses the percentage of patients who die after complications occur. AIMS: To assess the rate of FTR after gastrectomy and factors associated with its occurrence. METHODS: Patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent were retrospectively evaluated. According to the occurrence of postoperative complications, patients were divided into FTR group (grade V complications) and rescued group (grade III/IV complications). RESULTS: Among the 731 patients, 114 had major complications. Of these patients, 76 (66.7%) were successfully treated for the complication (rescued group), while 38 (33.3%) died (FTR group). Patients in the FTR group were older (p=0.008; p<0.05), had lower levels of hemoglobin (p=0.021; p<0.05) and albumin (p=0.002; p<0.05), and a higher frequency of ASA III/IV (p=0.033; p<0.05). There were no differences between the groups regarding surgical and pathological characteristics. Clinical complications had a higher mortality rate (40.0% vs 30.4%), with pulmonary complications (50.2%) and infections (46.2%) being the most lethal. Patients with major complications grade III/IV had worse survival than those without complications. CONCLUSIONS: The FTR rate was 33.3%. Advanced age, worse performance, and nutritional parameters were associated with FTR.
背景:胃癌的主要治疗方式是手术切除加淋巴结切除术。尽管围手术期护理取得了进展,但高达20%的病例可能发生重大手术并发症。为了确定所采用的手术护理的质量,提出了一个新的指标,称为抢救失败(FTR),它评估并发症发生后患者死亡的百分比。目的:探讨胃切除术后FTR的发生率及其发生的相关因素。方法:回顾性分析以治愈为目的行胃切除术的胃癌患者。根据术后并发症的发生情况将患者分为FTR组(V级并发症)和获救组(III/IV级并发症)。结果:731例患者中有114例出现严重并发症。其中抢救组76例(66.7%)并发症治疗成功,FTR组38例(33.3%)死亡。FTR组患者年龄较大(p=0.008;p < 0.05),血红蛋白水平较低(p=0.021;p= 0.05)和白蛋白(p=0.002;p < 0.05), ASA III/IV的发生率较高(p=0.033;术中,0.05)。两组间手术及病理特征无差异。临床并发症的死亡率更高(40.0% vs 30.4%),其中肺部并发症(50.2%)和感染(46.2%)是最致命的。有主要并发症的III/IV级患者的生存期比无并发症的患者差。结论:FTR率为33.3%。高龄、较差的表现和营养参数与FTR有关。

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice for patients with liver metastases, but in some patients, it is not possible to obtain a complete R0 resection. Moreover, the recurrence rate is up to 75% after three years. After the experience of the Oslo group with cadaveric liver transplant, some centers are starting their experience with liver transplant for colorectal liver metastasis. AIMS: To present our initial experience with living donor liver transplant for colorectal liver metastasis. METHODS: From 2019 to 2022, four liver transplants were performed in patients with colorectal liver metastases according to the Oslo criteria. RESULTS: Four patients underwent living donor liver transplants, male/female ratio was 3:1, mean age 52.5 (42–68 years). All patients were included in Oslo criteria for liver transplant. Two patients had already been submitted to liver resection. The decision for liver transplant occurred after discussion with a multidisciplinary team. Three patients recurred after the procedure and the patient number 3 died after chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Living donor liver transplant is a viable treatment option for colorectal liver metastasis in Brazil, due to a shortage of donors.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The addition of endoscopic ablative therapy plus proton pump inhibitors or fundoplication is postulated for the treatment of patients with long-segment Barrett´s esophagus (LSBE); however, it does not avoid acid and bile reflux in these patients. Fundoplication with distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy is proposed as an acid suppression-duodenal diversion procedure demonstrating excellent results at long-term follow-up. There are no reports on therapeutic strategy with this combination. AIMS: To determine the early and long-term results observed in LSBE patients with or without low-grade dysplasia who underwent the acid suppression-duodenal diversion procedure combined with endoscopic therapy. METHODS: Prospective study including patients with endoscopic LSBE using the Prague classification for circumferential and maximal lengths and confirmed by histological study. Patients were submitted to argon plasma coagulation (21) or radiofrequency ablation (31). After receiving treatment, they were monitored at early and late follow-up (5–12 years) with endoscopic and histologic evaluation. RESULTS: Few complications (ulcers or strictures) were observed after the procedure. Re-treatment was required in both groups of patients. The reduction in length of metaplastic epithelium was significantly better after radiofrequency ablation compared to argon plasma coagulation (10.95 vs 21.15 mms for circumferential length; and 30.96 vs 44.41 mms for maximal length). Intestinal metaplasia disappeared in a high percentage of patients, and histological long-term results were quite similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic procedures combined with fundoplication plus acid suppression with duodenal diversion technique to eliminate metaplastic epithelium of distal esophagus could be considered a good alternative option for LSBE treatment.
背景:内镜下消融治疗加质子泵抑制剂或底扩术治疗长段巴雷特食管(LSBE);然而,它并不能避免这些患者的酸和胆汁反流。胃底吻合与远端胃切除术和Roux-en-Y胃空肠吻合术被认为是一种抑酸-十二指肠分流手术,在长期随访中显示出良好的效果。目前还没有关于这种联合治疗策略的报道。目的:确定有或无低度发育不良的LSBE患者在接受胃酸抑制-十二指肠分流术联合内镜治疗后的早期和长期结果。方法:前瞻性研究包括内镜下LSBE患者,采用布拉格分级法确定周长度和最大长度,并经组织学研究证实。21例患者接受氩等离子凝固治疗,31例患者接受射频消融治疗。接受治疗后,在早期和晚期随访(5-12年)进行内窥镜和组织学评估。结果:术后并发症(溃疡或狭窄)少。两组患者均需再次治疗。与氩等离子凝固相比,射频消融后化生上皮长度的减少明显更好(10.95 vs 21.15 mm);最大长度30.96 vs 44.41 MMS)。肠化生消失的比例很高,两组长期组织学结果相当相似。结论:内镜下手术联合食管底叠加抑酸十二指肠分流术消除食管远端化生上皮是治疗LSBE的良好选择。

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Para-aortic lymph nodes involvement in pancreatic head cancer has been described as an independent adverse prognostic factor. To avoid futile pancreatic resection, we systematically perform para-aortic lymphadenectomy as a first step. AIMS: To describe our technique for para-aortic lymphadenectomy. METHODS: A 77-year-old female patient, with jaundice and resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy associated with infracolic lymphadenectomy. RESULTS: The infracolic anterior technique has two main advantages. It is faster and prevents the formation of postoperative adhesions, which can make subsequent surgical interventions more difficult. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend systematic para-aortic lymphadenectomy as the first step of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma by this approach.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown a relationship between calf circumference (CC) and outcomes in hospitalized patients. AIMS: To investigate the relationship between CC and clinical and nutritional outcomes in older in-patients (OiP) in a surgery ward. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study with 417 OiP in a surgery ward. Clinical variables, anthropometry, and nutritional screening instruments such as subjective global assessment (SGA), mini nutritional assessment (MNA), and nutritional risk screening (NRS) were used in the investigation. The tests Pearson’s chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman’s coefficient, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to review the factors associated with CC. RESULTS: Lower CC values were found in the age group 80 years and over (p<0.0001), presence of complications (p=0.0269), NRS (p<0.0001), SGA (p<0.0001), and MNA (p<0.0001). Gender (p=0.0011; partial R2=0.01151), age (p=0.0002; partial R2=0.06032), body mass index (p≤0.0001; partial R2=0.40820), and arm circumference (p≤0.0001; partial R2=0.11890) are variables that together were associated with CC. There was also a relationship between SGA (p=0.0166; partial R2=0.00605) and absence of complications during hospitalization (p=0.0047; R2=0.01154) with CC. CONCLUSIONS: Gender, age, body mass index, and arm circumference were jointly associated with CC, in addition to SGA and absence of complications. The CC is a relevant indicator for OiP in the clinical practice.
