Introduction Laparoscopy splenectomy has been a preferred choice over open surgery, but limited studies dealing with laparoscopy splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (LSPD) for elderly patients are available. Aim To assess the safety and long-term efficacy of spleen bed LSPD for elderly patients with portal hypertension. Material and methods A total of 132 elderly patients (age > 60 years) suffering from portal hypertension were operated on in the department. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those undergoing LSPD, and those undergoing open splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (OSPD). Results and outcomes were compared retrospectively. Results The clinical characteristics of the patients belonging to the two groups were studied. No significant difference between the characteristics of patients was reported and the clinical data revealed similarities in their characteristics. There was no significant difference in time taken for performing the operation (p > 0.05). The LSPD group showed less blood loss; started oral intake early; and the duration of post-operative hospital stay was also shorter (p < 0.05). Incidence rates of portal vein thrombosis; pancreatic leakage; pleural effusion; pulmonary infection; and delayed wound healing were also found to be lower in the LSPD group as compared to the OSPD group (p < 0.05). During a follow-up period of 6–70 months, no significant differences were found in the data for the two methods with respect to the incidence of rebleeding; hepatic encephalopathy; and survival (p > 0.05). Conclusions It was concluded that spleen bed LSPD is a safe and feasible procedure for treating elderly patients. It had a better clinical effect than that of OSPD.

Introduction To date, long-term safety including functional outcomes of transanal natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) for colorectal cancer resection has not been confirmed. Aim To explore the short- and long-term outcomes as well as anal function of transanal NOSES versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for sigmoid colon or rectal cancer resection. Material and methods A retrospective review of data from a prospectively maintained database was performed to analyze the data of 69 patients who underwent transanal NOSES for sigmoid colon or rectal cancer resections and another 69 matched patients who underwent conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery. Anal function of patients was evaluated using the Wexner fecal incontinence scale postoperatively. Results Transanal NOSES resulted in faster recovery of intestinal function, shorter postoperative length of stay, less incisional pain, fewer postoperative complications and shorter scars than CL surgery (p < 0.05). The two groups had similar overall survival (p = 0.863) and disease-free survival (p = 0.961). Wexner scores of the NOSES group at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery were higher than in the CL group (p < 0.05), and there was no difference between the two groups at 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery. Conclusions Transanal NOSES achieves similar survival outcomes to CL surgery. Transanal NOSES has the advantages of faster recovery, shorter postoperative hospital stay, less incisional pain, shorter scars, etc. However, transanal NOSES can indeed impair anal function, needing more attention.

Introduction With the development of minimally invasive surgery in recent years, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) has attracted more attention. Aim To introduce the more comprehensive “enjoyable space” approach coupled with the self-pulling and latter transaction (SPLT) reconstruction technique to perform TLTG and investigate its safety and feasibility. Material and methods Ninety-seven patients with primary upper gastric cancer underwent laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy between January 2020 and December 2020. Among these patients, 46 underwent laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG), and 51 underwent TLTG. We compared the clinicopathological characteristics, surgical outcomes and postoperative complications between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, the TLTG group had a slightly lower mean operative time and mean blood loss than the LATG group (p < 0.05 each). Although there were similarities in the mean times to first flatus, liquid diet, and soft diet, the duration of hospital stay was significantly reduced in the TLTG group (p < 0.05). No significant differences in overall complications and E-J-related complications were found between the two groups (15.2% vs. 25.4%, p > 0.05). Conclusions TLTG is a safe and feasible procedure for treating upper gastric cancer. The enjoyable space approach in conjunction with SPLT reconstruction is an appropriate comprehensive technique with several advantages over LATG.

Introduction The advantage of transcervical radiofrequency ablation (TRFA) is that it is minimally invasive, incision-free, and treats a wide spectrum of fibroids, including those that are not accessible by surgical hysteroscopy (FIGO 3, 4, 5, 6, and 2-5). However, there are no publications describing a combined procedure of operative hysteroscopy and TRFA yet, so it was still unknown whether a combined procedure is associated with additional risks. Aim To report the combined technique of transcervical intrauterine radiofrequency ablation of fibroids and surgical hysteroscopy. Material and methods Our study was designed to show the results of our case series with 21 patients. The retrospective study included only patients who were treated with the combined procedure of surgical hysteroscopy with fibroid and/or endometrial resection and fibroid ablation using the Sonata System. Results The combined procedure was performed without any complications in all cases. Two days after surgery, no increased morbidity was observed compared to only conventional surgical hysteroscopy and/or therapy with the TRFA. All patients were satisfied with the procedure. No late complications were observed within the first 6 months postoperatively. Seventeen patients with bleeding symptoms were asked about their subjective assessment of improvement. Fifteen patients reported significant improvement in symptoms and 1 patient reported only minimal improvement. Only 1 patient, who underwent TRFA and endometrial resection, did not report any improvement. No increase in symptoms was observed. Conclusions Although TRFA is an approved method, it is not yet widely used worldwide. The combined procedure has been rarely used. The aim of our work is to show through our case series that transcervical radiofrequency ablation can be combined with surgical hysteroscopy for fibroid and/or endometrial resection without any additional risk.

Introduction Laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (LSED) is becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of esophageal-fundic variceal bleeding with portal hypertension (PHT) in China, and its high safety and minimal trauma have been proven. Fast-track (FT) surgery improves patient recovery and decreases postoperative complications. Aim To determine whether LSED with fast-track principles can provide better outcomes than traditional treatment for patients with PHT. Material and methods A total of 140 patients who underwent LSED with either traditional treatment or fast-track principles in our department were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative outcomes, complications, inflammatory mediators, portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and recurrent esophagogastric variceal bleeding rate were recorded. Results No significant differences were found in the patients’ preoperative characteristics. The FT group had better outcomes than the non-FT group with respect to gastrointestinal function recovery, resumption of oral intake, and postoperative hospitalization. The incidence of postoperative complications, including pneumonia, severe ascites, and urinary tract infection, were significantly lower in the FT than the non-FT group. The C-reactive protein and interleukin 6 concentrations and the incidence of PVT were significantly lower in the FT than the non-FT group. The overall recurrent bleeding rate is 11.5% and no significant difference was found between the two groups in the follow-up period. Conclusions LSED with fast-track principles was superior to LSED with traditional treatment in terms of postoperative outcomes, complications, postoperative inflammatory reactions, and the incidence of PVT. This strategy is safe and effective for the treatment of PHT.

Introduction Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is reported to be a potential prognostic predictor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Aim To investigate the prognostic value of LVI in ESCC node-negative patients after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). Material and methods 1406 consecutive ESCC patients who underwent MIE were reviewed retrospectively. After exclusion, 880 patients were enrolled, and 298 node-negative patients were used for the further analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to examine the survival difference. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic predictors. Results LVI was observed in 29.4% of all patients. Totally, the proportion of LVI was increased with advanced T (p < 0.01) and N (p < 0.01) stage and poor tumor differentiation (p < 0.01). In the node-negative patients, a similar result was obtained in T stage (p = 0.0252) and tumor differentiation (p = 0.0080). In survival analysis, the disease-specific survival (DSS) (p = 0.0146) rate was significantly lower in node-negative patients with LVI than in those without. The difference was absent when calculating disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.0796). Additionally, the presence of LVI was associated with lower DSS (p = 0.0187) but not DFS (p = 0.0785) in univariate analysis in node-negative patients. Moreover, in multivariate Cox regression analysis, the presence of LVI was identified as an independent prognostic factor only in DSS (p = 0.0496) but not in DFS (p = 0.5670) in node-negative patients. Conclusions LVI is associated with shorter DSS and an independent prognostic factor in ESCC node-negative patients after MIE.

Introduction Recently, single plus one-port robotic surgery (SPORS) was introduced to overcome the limitations of single-port laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of various diseases. Aim To compare the clinical and cosmetic outcomes of SPORS with those of multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS), which is presently the standard surgical treatment for colon cancer. Material and methods The study included 36 patients who underwent SPORS and 61 patients who underwent MPLS for left-sided colon cancer between August 2014 and January 2016. The Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire (PSAQ) was used to assess cosmetic outcomes. Results SPORS involved a longer median operative time than MPLS (232 vs. 155 min, p = 0.009). There were no apparent differences in the time before diet tolerance, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain score, and postoperative complication rate. However, SPORS patients had a shorter total incision length (5.0 vs. 8.0 cm, p < 0.001). The median proximal and distal resection margins and the median number of harvested lymph nodes were comparable between the two groups. The PSAQ favored the SPORS approach, revealing significant differences in appearance (15 vs. 18, p < 0.001), consciousness (9 vs. 11, p < 0.001), satisfaction with appearance (14 vs. 17, p < 0.001), satisfaction with symptoms (9 vs. 10, p = 0.022), and overall score (47 vs. 55, p < 0.001). Conclusions The clinicopathologic outcomes of SPORS were comparable but its cosmetic outcomes were superior to those of MPLS for left-sided colon cancer.

Conclusions The clinicopathologic outcomes of SPORS were comparable but its cosmetic outcomes were superior to those of MPLS for left-sided colon cancer.","PeriodicalId":49361,"journal":{"name":"Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques","volume":"17 1","pages":"179 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41496076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction Surgical site infections (SSIs) occur after an operative procedure and can range from superficial to deep wound infections. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have proposed guidelines recommending measures to prevent SSIs. Intraoperative measures are largely focused on decontamination of the skin and intraoperative wound irrigation using soap and antiseptics and are simple, efficient, and cost-effective measures to reduce SSIs. Povidone-iodine (PVI) is a topical antiseptic widely used for the reduction of SSIs. Aim A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficacy of preoperative or intraoperative use of PVI from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Material and methods A systematic literature review was conducted using MEDLINE and Central databases for RCTs that involved PVI application versus saline or no treatment control groups across various surgical categories. The primary outcome was SSI or post-operative wound infections. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled risk ratio and subgroup analyses were performed. Results A total of 59 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis with information from 20,497 patients. A reduction in overall SSI incidence was found (RR = 0.70, 0.60–0.80, p = 0.0002, I2 = 44%). Subgroup analyses showed that the comparator treatment and type of procedure did not modify the effect of PVI on SSI incidence. However, inconsistent results on SSI incidence were obtained when the data were stratified by PVI application method and surgery category. Conclusions The results of the meta-analysis provide support for the preoperative or intraoperative use of PVI in decreasing the incidence of SSI.

Over the years, the rise in the obesity epidemic has led to an increasing demand for bariatric surgery. Considering the rapidly growing number of bariatric surgery procedures performed, intensive development of postoperative care and surveillance programs should be expected. However, the effectiveness of follow-up after bariatric surgery appears to be surprisingly low. The purpose of this review is to draw attention to the quality of follow-up programs and to encourage health care providers to make efforts to ensure adequate post-operative data collection. Awareness should be raised about inadequate data collection to strengthen the credibility and authenticity of treatment results, thus providing a clearer picture of treatment efficacy.

Introduction Currently, unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) as a new minimally invasive technique has been applied to conventional arthroscopic systems for the treatment of spinal disease. Aim To analyze the clinical effect of UBE in the treatment of lumbar diseases. Material and methods A systematic review of the literature published up to May 2021 was performed in the English database PubMed, Embase, and the Chinese database CNKI, Wanfang. There were 9 studies included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The outcomes measured included operative time, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results A total of 528 patients were collected from the selected 9 articles. The random effects model showed that the value of pooled effect mean deviation (MD) in each study was 58.62 (95% CI (57.53, 59.72), p < 0.001). At the end of postoperative follow-up, the standard mean difference (SMD) VAS scores of legs –4.12 (95% CI (–5.15, –3.09), p < 0.001) and back -3.10 (95% CI (–4.35, –1.84), p < 0.001) were lower than the preoperative values. At the same time, the results of the random-effects model showed that the SMD of the ODI score was –7.07 (95% CI (–8.69, –5.46), p < 0.001) and at the end of follow-up was lower than preoperatively. Conclusions UBE surgery has a good clinical effect in the treatment of lumbar diseases, and can be widely used in the treatment of free prolapse lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
