Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
The aim of this study was to analyze overall survival in endometrial cancer patients' FIGO stages I-III in relation to surgical approach; minimally invasive (MIS) or open surgery (laparotomy).Methods
A population-based retrospective study of 7275 endometrial cancer patients included in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer diagnosed from 2010 to 2018. Cox proportional hazard models were used in univariable and multivariable survival analyses.Results
In univariable analysis open surgery was associated with worse overall survival compared with MIS hazard ratio, HR, 1.39 (95% CI 1.18-1.63) while in the multivariable analysis, surgical approach (MIS vs open surgery) was not associated with overall survival after adjustment for known risk factors (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.95-1.32). Higher FIGO stage, non-endometrioid histology, non-diploid tumors, lymphovascular space invasion and increasing age were independent risk factors for overall survival.Conclusion
The minimal invasive or open surgical approach did not show any impact on survival for patients with endometrial cancer stages I-III when known prognostic risk factors were included in the multivariable analyses.

Project description:BACKGROUND While burnout has been identified in half of practicing physicians, no validated questionnaires have assessed burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess factors associated with burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional online survey including the validated Copenhagen Burnout Inventory: 100 minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows in the United States were invited, including the classes of 2021 and 2022. Of the 100 fellows invited, 60 fellows completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory survey. Descriptive statistics were used to report the demographic variables, the mean Copenhagen Burnout Inventory score, and the responses to the survey questions. Logistic and linear regression models were created to assess relationships between fellow characteristics and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory scores. RESULTS Of the 60 fellows with complete Copenhagen Burnout Inventory survey data, 73% were female, 50% were first-year, and 50% were second-year fellows. The mean Copenhagen Burnout Inventory score was 39.2 (standard deviation, 14.4), indicating moderate burnout, and 21.7% of fellows had scores >50, indicating high burnout. Personal and work-related burnout were highest, with Copenhagen Burnout Inventory scores of 47.9 (standard deviation, 16.8) and 45.1 (standard deviation, 17.6), respectively. Patient-related burnout scores were the lowest at 23.5 (standard deviation, 16.5). Factors associated with overall burnout included career choice dissatisfaction (beta, 5.6; 95% confidence interval, 0.9–10.3; P=.02) and absence of a positive and respectful work environment (beta, 5.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.0–10.9; P=.02). Fellows who were somewhat satisfied with their career choice scored 11.2 points higher than those who were highly satisfied. Fellows whose work environment was almost never positive and respectful scored 17.8 points higher than those whose work environment was always positive and respectful. Female fellows were significantly less likely to have a low Copenhagen Burnout Inventory score than male fellows (odds ratio, 0.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.004–0.3; P=.004). Only one-third of fellows reported regular individual wellness behaviors: mindfulness (23%), exercise (35%), 7 to 8 hours of sleep (37%), and recreation (27%); however, these factors were not associated with lower burnout scores. CONCLUSION Fellows had moderate to high personal and work-related burnout, whereas patient-related burnout was low. Factors associated with burnout were negative work culture, lack of control over work schedule, and decreased career satisfaction. Individual wellness behaviors were not associated with burnout, highlighting the need to look beyond individual behavior in the fight against physician burnout.

Project description:AimTo 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.

Project description:On the basis of emerging data and the current understanding of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for radical hysterectomy (RH) in women with cervical cancer, the Korean Society of Gynecologic Oncology, Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Korean Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery support the following recommendations: According to the recently published phase III Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial-a prospective randomized clinical trial-disease-free survival and overall survival rates of MIS RH are significantly lower than those of open RH. Gynecologic oncologists should be aware of the emerging data on MIS RH for early-stage cervical cancer. The results of the LACC trial, together with institutional data, should be discussed with patients before choosing MIS RH. MIS RH should be performed for optimal candidates according to the current practice guidelines by gynecologic oncologists who are skilled at performing MIS.

Project description:BackgroundThe Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project shed light on the vital role of tumor molecular features in predicting endometrial cancer patients' prognosis. This study aims to investigate the survival impact of surgical approaches on patients with different genetic alterations.Methods473 endometrial cancer patients from TCGA database were selected. To analyze the prognostic impact of surgical approach, survival analyses were conducted in patients with different molecular features. Finally, a simplified molecular stratification model was established to select patients suitable for open or minimally invasive surgery (MIS).ResultsIn our cohort, 291 patients received open surgery and 182 received MIS. Molecular features influenced patients' survival after different surgical approaches. Based on survival analyses, three molecular subtypes were generated, with subtype 1 harboring POLE mutation (POLEmt ), microsatellite-instability high (MSI-H), homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway mutation or MUC16 mutation (MUC16mt ); subtype 3 carrying TP53 mutation; and subtype 2 without specific molecular feature. The survival influence of molecular subtypes depended on surgical approaches. In the open surgery cohort, three subtypes showed similar survival outcome, while in the MIS cohort, prognosis varied significantly among three subtypes, with subtype 1 the best and subtype 3 the worst. In stepwise Cox regression, molecular subtype was an independent predictor of recurrence-free survival in patients receiving MIS (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe molecular features of endometrial cancer are associated with patients' prognosis after different surgical approaches. MIS should be recommended in patients with POLEmt , MSI-H, HRR pathway mutation or MUC16mt , while for patients with TP53 mutation, open surgery is better concerning oncological safety.

Project description:Despite guidelines that assert that the vaginal route for benign hysterectomy is preferred as the most minimally invasive approach, rates of vaginal hysterectomy remain very low in the United States. Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) might reverse the trend. Potential advantages of vNOTES compared to traditional laparoscopic and robotic approaches include the potential for less pain, decreased operative time, improved cosmesis, and decreased risks. Importantly, vNOTES might allow for the conversion of laparoscopic and robotic routes back to vaginal due to surgeon factors.

Project description:Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. Although laparoscopy has been widely adopted for management of benign adrenal tumors, minimally invasive surgery for ACC remains controversial. Retrospective analyses, frequently with fewer than one hundred participants, comprise the majority of the literature. High-quality data regarding the optimal surgical approach for ACC are lacking due to the rarity of the disease and the fact that determination of tumor type (e.g., adenoma or carcinoma) is determined after adrenalectomy, since adrenal tumors are generally not biopsied. While the benefits of minimally invasive surgery including lower intra-operative blood loss and decreased hospital length-of-stay have been consistently demonstrated, clinical equipoise for long-term survival and recurrence outcomes between open and minimally invasive adrenalectomy (MIA) remains. This review examines retrospective studies that directly compare patients with ACC who underwent either open or laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and considers these findings in the context of current guideline recommendations for surgical management of ACC.

Project description:The interest in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has rapidly increased in recent decades and surgeons have adopted minimally invasive techniques due to its reduced invasiveness and numerous advantages for patients. With increased surgical experience and newly developed surgical instruments, MIS has become the preferred approach not only for benign disease but also for oncologic surgery. Recently, robotic systems have been developed to overcome difficulties of standard laparoscopic instruments during complex procedures. Its advantages including three-dimensional images, tremor filtering, motion scaling, articulated instruments, and stable retraction have created the opportunity to use robotic technology in many procedures including cancer surgery. Gastric cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While its overall incidence has decreased worldwide, the proportion of early gastric cancer has increased mainly in eastern countries following mass screening programs. The shift in the paradigm of gastric cancer treatment is toward less invasive approaches in order to improve the patient's quality of life while adhering to oncological principles. In this review, we aimed to summarize the operative strategy and current literature in laparoscopic and robotic surgery for gastric cancer.

Project description:Since Dr. Kitano introduced laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer in 1994, there have been remarkable advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gastric cancer, including robotic surgery. With the efforts of many clinical researchers and consenting patients, medical knowledge and evidence for laparoscopic surgery in gastric cancer have accumulated. Although many gastric surgeons are comfortable with the clinical application of laparoscopic surgery for early gastric cancer, the adoption of MISs for advanced gastric cancer remains controversial. In this review article, we describe the current status and evidence of MIS from an evidence-based medicine viewpoint and explore the feasibility and effectiveness of MIS for advanced gastric cancer in the real world.

Project description:ObjectivesDetermine if patient satisfaction is greater after delivering postoperative care via telemedicine following minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.Materials and methodsUniversity-based outpatient clinic; Randomized controlled trial (Canadian Task Force classification I). Females between 18 and 60 years of age scheduled to undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy or laparoscopic excision of endometriosis were invited to participate. Eligible patients were randomized to receive postoperative care either through a traditional office visit or via telemedicine. PSQ-18 satisfaction surveys were performed by phone after the visit.ResultsForty-one patients were analyzed out of which 25 were in the office group and 16 in the telemedicine group. Groups were homogenous to age (41.4 vs. 43.3 p. 48), body mass index (31.9 vs. 30.6 P = 0.52), distance in miles from home (12.7 vs. 12.4 P = 0.92), and parity (P = 0.51). PSQ-18 questionnaire was scored and each category was compared between the office and telemedicine groups. When comparing medians (interquartile range), the general satisfaction and time spent with doctor categories were significantly higher in the telemedicine group (4.0 [4.0, 4.5] vs. 4.5 [4.5, 5.0] P = 0.05), (4.0 [4.0, 4.5] vs. 4.5 [4.0, 5.0] P = 0.05). The remainder of the categories analyzed were not different between groups Technical Quality (4.0 [3.8, 4.5] vs. 4.5 [3.9, 5.0] P = 0.13), Interpersonal Manner (4.0 [4.0, 4.5] vs. 4.5 [4.0, 5.0] P = 0.34), Communication (4.5 [4.0, 4.5] vs. 4.5 [4.3, 5.0] P = 0.21), Accessibility and Convenience (4.0 [3.5, 4.5] v 4.0 [3.6, 4.5] P = 0.84). A chart review was performed, examining the first 30 days after surgery. One (4%) patient in the office group went to the ER after postoperative visit, and 0 in the telemedicine group (P = 0.42).ConclusionPostoperative care via telemedicine after gynecologic surgery results in higher patient satisfaction.

Project description:PurposeDoes surgical approach (minimally invasive vs. open) and type (radical vs. partial nephrectomy) affects opioid use and workplace absenteeism.Materials and methodsRetrospective multivariable regression analysis of 2,646 opioid-naïve patients between 18 and 64 undergoing radical or partial nephrectomy via either a minimally invasive vs. open approach for kidney cancer in the United States between 2012 and 2017 drawn from the IBM Watson Health Database was performed. Outcomes included: (1) opioid use in opioid-naïve patients as measured by opioid prescriptions in the post-operative setting at early, intermediate and prolonged time periods and (2) workplace absenteeism after surgery.ResultsPatients undergoing minimally invasive surgery had a lower odds of opioid use in the early and intermediate post-operative periods (early: odds ratio [OR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.62-0.97; p=0.02, intermediate: OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.48-0.75; p<0.01), but not in the prolonged setting (prolonged: OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.75-1.34; p=0.98) and had earlier return to work (minimally invasive vs. open: -10.53 days; 95% CI, -17.79 to -3.26; p<0.01). Controlling for approach, patient undergoing partial nephrectomy had lower rates of opioid use across all time periods examined and returned to work earlier than patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (partial vs. radical: -14.41 days; 95% CI, -21.22 to -7.60; p<0.01).ConclusionsPatients undergoing various forms of surgery for kidney cancer had lower rates of peri-operative opioid use, fewer days of workplace absenteeism, but no difference in long-term rates of opioid use in patients undergoing minimally invasive as compared to open surgery.
