Outcomes of the surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of the cardia

AbstractBackgroundAdenocarcinomas at the cardia are biologically aggressive tumors with poor long-term survival following curative resection. For resectable adenocarcinoma of the cardia, mostly esophagus extended total gastrectomy or esophagus extended proximal gastric resection is performed; however, the surgical approach, transhiatal or transthoracic, is still under discussion. Postoperative morbidity, mortality and long-term survival were analyzed to evaluate the potential differences in clinically relevant outcomes.Patients and methodsOf altogether 844 gastrectomies performed between January 2000 and December 2016, 166 were done for the adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia, which we analyzed with using the Cox proportional hazards model.Results136 were esophagus extended total gastrectomy and 125 esophagus extended proximal gastric resection. A D2 lymphadenectomy was performed in 88.2%, splenectomy in 47.2%, and multivisceral resections in 12.4% of patients. R0 resection rate was 95.7%. The mean proximal resection margin on the esophagus was 42.45 mm. It was less than 21 mm in 9 patients. Overall morbidity regarding Clavien-Dindo classification (&gt; 1) was altogether 28.6%. 15.5% were noted as surgical and 21.1% as medical complications. The 30-day mortality was 2.2%. The 5-year survival for R0 resections was 33.4%. Multivisceral resection, depth of tumor infiltration, nodal stage, and curability of the resection were identified as independent prognostic factors.ConclusionsTranshiatal approach for resection of adenocarcinoma of the cardia is a safe procedure for patients with Siewert II and III regarding the postoperative morbidity and mortality; moreover, long-term survival is comparable to transthoracic approach. The complications associated with thoracoabdominal approach can therefore be avoided with no impact on the rate of local recurrence.</jats:sec

Simultaneous pure laparoscopic resection of primary colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases

Abstract Background The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of pure laparoscopic and open simultaneous resection of both the primary colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases (SCLM). Patients and methods From 2000 to 2016 all patients treated by simultaneous resection were assessed for entry in this single center, clinically nonrandomized trial. A propensity score matching was used to compare the laparoscopic group (LAP) to open surgery group (OPEN). Primary endpoints were perioperative and oncologic outcomes. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results Of the 82 patients identified who underwent simultaneous liver resection for SCLM, 10 patients underwent LAP. All these consecutive patients from LAP were matched to 10 comparable OPEN. LAP reduced the length of hospital stay (P = 0.044) and solid food oral intake was faster (P = 0.006) in this group. No patient undergoing the laparoscopic procedure experienced conversion to the open technique. No difference was observed in operative time, blood loss, transfusion rate, narcotics requirement, clinical risk score, resection margin, R0 resections rate, morbidity, mortality and incisional hernias rate. The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of the 3-year OS rate (90 vs. 75%; P = 0.842) and DFS rate (60 vs. 57%; P = 0.724). Conclusions LAP reduced the length of hospital stay and offers faster solid food oral intake. Comparable oncologic and survival outcomes can be achieved. LAP is beneficial for well selected patients in high volume centers with appropriate expertise. </jats:sec

Hepatocelični rak - možnost resekcije jeter

Resekcija jeter (RJ) je ostala glavna oblika terapije pri solitarnem hepatoceličnem raku (HCC), pri bolnikih z ohranjeno funkcijsko rezervo jeter in v primernem splošnem stanju. Izpopolnjene slikovne preiskave so pripomogle k boljši izbiri bolnikov. Kirurgija jeter je napredovala: uporabne so številne tehnike transekcije jetrnega tkivadosegljive so različne naprave, ki omogočajo hitrejše in natančnejše operiranje v brezkrvnem operativnem polju. Izboljšana kirurška tehnika, vzdrževanje nizkega centralnega venskega pritiska in napredek pri negi bolnika po operaciji so omogočili, da se je smrtnost po operaciji jeter v izbranih serijah znižala celo do 0%. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) klasifikacija poleg zamejitve bolezni, nudi priporočila tudi glede izbora terapije. Kirurško terapijo omejuje zgolj na bolnike z zgodnjim stadijem raka. Namen tega prispevka je raziskati, ali je v sedanjem času mogoče RJ opraviti s sprejemljivimi kratko- in dolgoročnimi rezultati tudi pri bolnikih s takšnim HCC, pri katerem so prisotni številni in veliki tumorji, ki makroskopsko vdirajo v žile.Liver resection (LR) has remained the main form of therapy for solitary hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in patients with preserved functional liver reserves and in good general condition. Advanced imaging has contributed to a better selection of patients. Liver surgery has advanced as there are many techniques of liver tissue transection useful and different instruments are available, which enable faster and more accurate surgery in the bloodless operating field. Improved surgical technique, maintenance of low central venous pressure and advancement in patient postoperative care have provided that mortality rates after liver surgery in selected series lowered as far as to 0%. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) classification apart from disease control also offers recommendations with regard to therapy selection. It limits surgical therapy only to patients with early stage liver cancer. The purpose of this article is to research whether at present time it is perhaps better to perform radioiodine therapy with acceptable short- and long-term results even in patients with HCC, where there are numerous and large tumours present, macroscopically invading the veins

Impact factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality and repercussion of perioperative morbidity and long-term survival in pancreatic head resection

AbstractBackgroundThe focus of the present study was to reveal any impact factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality as well as repercussion of perioperative morbidity on long-term survival in pancreatic head resection.Patients and methodsIn a retrospective study, clinic-pathological factors of 240 patients after pancreatic head (PD) or total resection were analyzed for correlations with morbidity, 30- and 90-day mortality, and long-term survival. According to Clavien–Dindo classification, all complications with grade II and more were defined as overall complications (OAC). OAC, all surgical (ASC), general (AGC) and some specific types of complications like leaks from the pancreatoenteric anastomosis (PEA) or pancreatic fistula (PF, type A, B and C), leaks from other anastomoses (OL), bleeding (BC) and abscesses (AA) were studied for correlation with clinic-pathological factors.ResultsIn the 9-year period, altogether 240 patients had pancreatic resection. The incidence of OAC was 37.1%, ASC 29.2% and AGC 15.8%. ASC presented themselves as PL, OL, BC and AA in 19% (of 208 PD), 5.8%, 5.8%, and 2.5% respectively. Age, ASA score, amylase on drains, and pancreatic fistulas B and C correlated significantly with different types of complications. Overall 30- and 90-day mortalities were 5 and 7.9% and decreased to 3.5 and 5% in P2.ConclusionsHigh amylase on drains and higher mean age were independent indicators of morbidity, whereas PL and BC revealed as independent predictor for 30-day mortality, and physical status, OAC and PF C for 90-day mortality.</jats:sec

Biopsija resektabilnih jetrnih zasevkov raka debelega črevesa in danke: nepotrebna in nevarna metoda

If in the patient who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer (CC) a newly developed tumour is detected in the liver, it is possible to assume immediately that it is a metastasis. Moreover, it is possible to confirm the diagnosis with 99% probability based on imaging and biochemical screening. Despite this some insist that diagnosis needs to be confirmed with percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB). With a review of the literature and an analysis of our series of patients, we will try to show why this procedure is unnecessary and dangerous in patients with resectable liver metastases of CC.Če se pri bolniku, ki je bil operiran zaradi raka debelega črevesa in danke (RDČD), na novo pojavi tumor v jetrih, je mogoče že na podlagi tega sklepati, da gre za zasevek. Še več, diagnozo je mogoče z 99 % verjetnostjo potrditi na podlagi slikovnih in biokemičnih preiskav. Kljub temu nekateri vztrajajo, da je za potrditev diagnoze potrebna perkutana tankoigelna biopsija (PTB). Nepotrebnost in nevarnost tega postopka pri resektabilnih jetrnih zasevkih RDČD bomo poskušali utemeljiti s pregledom literature in analizo naše serije bolnikov
