Endoscopy after bariatric surgery

Aujourd’hui, la chirurgie bariatrique est bien établie dans le traitement de l’obésité morbide. Dans la majorité des cas, cette chirurgie se réalise sous coelioscopie. Trois types d’interventions couvrent plus de 90% des gestes chirurgicaux. Au vu de l’augmentation du nombre d’interventions réalisées, il est essentiel pour l’endoscopiste de connaître cette nouvelle anatomie endoscopique. Ainsi, l’aspect endoscopique normal de la gastroplastie verticale calibrée, du cerclage gastrique et du court-circuit gastrique est présenté. Le rôle de l’endoscopie dans le diagnostic et le traitement des complications des différentes techniques opératoires, sont revus en détail, sur la base de la littérature et de nos propres expériences

Minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer: A comparison between robotic, laparoscopic and open surgery

IF 3.365International audienceAIMTo investigate the role of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer and determine surgical, clinical, and oncological outcomes.METHODSThis is a propensity score-matched case-control study, comparing three treatment arms: robotic gastrectomy (RG), laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), open gastrectomy (OG). Data collection started after sharing a specific study protocol. Data were recorded through a tailored and protected web-based system. Primary outcomes: harvested lymph nodes, estimated blood loss, hospital stay, complications rate. Among the secondary outcomes, there are: operative time, R0 resections, POD of mobilization, POD of starting liquid diet and soft solid diet. The analysis includes the evaluation of type and grade of postoperative complications. Detailed information of anastomotic leakages is also provided.RESULTSThe present analysis was carried out of 1026 gastrectomies. To guarantee homogenous distribution of cases, patients in the RG, LG and OG groups were 1: 1: 2 matched using a propensity score analysis with a caliper = 0.2. The successful matching resulted in a total sample of 604 patients (RG = 151; LG = 151; OG = 302). The three groups showed no differences in all baseline patients characteristics, type of surgery (P = 0.42) and stage of the disease (P = 0.16). Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the LG (95.93 +/- 119.22) and RG (117.91 +/- 68.11) groups compared to the OG (127.26 +/- 79.50, P = 0.002). The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was similar between the RG (27.78 +/- 11.45), LG (24.58 +/- 13.56) and OG (25.82 +/- 12.07) approach. A benefit in favor of the minimally invasive approaches was found in the length of hospital stay (P < 0.0001). A similar complications rate was found (P = 0.13). The leakage rate was not different (P = 0.78) between groups.CONCLUSIONLaparoscopic and robotic surgery can be safely performed and proposed as possible alternative to open surgery. The main highlighted benefit is a faster postoperative functional recovery
