The use of single-stapling techniques reduces anastomotic complications in minimal-invasive rectal surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leakage of rectal anastomoses is one of the most important and feared complications in colorectal surgery. Apart from patient-specific risk factors, technical aspects may influence the occurrence of anastomotic complications. This study investigated whether using single-stapling techniques (SST) instead of the double-stapling technique (DST) for minimal-invasive rectal anastomosis is associated with a lower rate of anastomotic complications.

Methods

A retrospective review of 272 patients who received a minimally invasive stapled rectal anastomosis (3-16 cm from the anal verge) at our institution from 2015 to 2020 was performed. In 131 patients, rectal anastomosis was created by SST (SST group), while 141 patients received a rectal anastomosis with crossing stapler lines (DST group). The impact of the anastomotic technique on patient outcomes was determined by uni- and multivariate analyses.

Results

Overall anastomotic leakage rate was 6%. Patients with SST anastomoses had a lower leakage rate than patients with DST anastomoses (3% vs. 9% in the DST group, p = 0.045). The rate of anastomotic stenosis was lower in the SST group than in the DST group (1% vs. 6%, p = 0.037). Overall morbidity and mortality did not differ between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that single-stapling techniques significantly reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage (OR 3.5 [1.0-11.5], p = 0.043).

Conclusion

The use of SST for rectal anastomosis may help to reduce anastomotic complications. This finding should be confirmed by a randomized controlled trial.

Minimal-invasive approach reduces cardiopulmonary complications in elderly after lung cancer surgery.

Project description:BackgroundThe number of elderly patients undergoing lung resection for lung cancer is continuously increasing. This study investigates the risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly lung cancer patients and the role of surgical approach in early postoperative outcome.MethodsWe reviewed all consecutive patients who underwent anatomical resection for early stage T1/2 lung cancer in a curative intent between January 2016 and November 2018 at our institution. Clinical data, postoperative complications, hospital stay and 30- and 90-day mortality were prospectively collected.ResultsA total of 505 (278 male) patients were included. One hundred ninety patients (38%) were ?70 years of age. Forty-eight percent (n=241) had thoracotomy, 52% (n=264) were operated with video-assisted or robot-assisted thoracoscopy. Major cardiopulmonary complications were observed in 4.2% (n=21) patients. There was no significant difference in major cardiopulmonary complication rate following minimally invasive surgery between patients above or below 70 years of age (4.3% vs. 2.5%, P=0.47). In contrast, major cardiopulmonary complication rate was significantly higher in elderly thoracotomy patients than in patients below 70 years of age (9.9% vs. 2.6%, P=0.035). Elderly patients operated minimally invasive had a significantly shorter hospital stay compared to open approach (8.1 vs. 11.9 days, P<0.0001). Thirty- and 90-day mortality was comparable with 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively.ConclusionsPulmonary resection for lung cancer in elderly patients is safe and can be performed with a low morbidity and mortality. However, our results indicate that minimal invasive surgery leads to reduced postoperative complications especially in elderly and should be the preferred approach.

Prevention of anastomotic leakage using a polyglycolic acid sheet in double-stapling technique anastomosis for rectal surgery.

Project description:BackgroundDue to the development of surgical techniques and devices, the incidence of anastomosis leakage in rectal surgery has decreased. However, anastomotic leakage in rectal surgery remains a serious postoperative complication. The present study examined whether or not a polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet is effective for reinforcing rectal anastomosis.Material and methodsFifteen patients who underwent double-stapling technique (DST) anastomosis during rectal surgery were enrolled in this study. The PGA sheet was used as the reinforcing material. DST anastomosis was performed with the PGA sheet sandwiched, and a strip of the PGA sheet was wrapped around the anastomosis.ResultsNo patients had anastomotic leakage.ConclusionA PGA sheet may be effective for preventing anastomotic leakage in DST anastomosis for rectal surgery.

Recent advances in the management of rectal cancer: No surgery, minimal surgery or minimally invasive surgery.

Project description:Over the last decade, with the acceptance of the need for improvements in the outcome of patients affected with rectal cancer, there has been a significant increase in the literature regarding treatment options available to patients affected by this disease. That treatment related decisions should be made at a high volume multidisciplinary tumor board, after pre-operative rectal magnetic resonance imaging and the importance of total mesorectal excision (TME) are accepted standard of care. More controversial is the emerging role for watchful waiting rather than radical surgery in complete pathologic responders, which may be appropriate in 20% of patients. Patients with early T1 rectal cancers and favorable pathologic features can be cured with local excision only, with transanal minimal invasive surgery (TAMIS) because of its versatility and almost universal availability of the necessary equipment and skillset in the average laparoscopic surgeon, emerging as the leading option. Recent trials have raised concerns about the oncologic outcomes of the standard "top-down" TME hence transanal TME (TaTME "bottom-up") approach has gained popularity as an alternative. The challenges are many, with a dearth of evidence of the oncologic superiority in the long-term for any given option. However, this review highlights recent advances in the role of chemoradiation only for complete pathologic responders, TAMIS for highly selected early rectal cancer patients and TaTME as options to improve cure rates whilst maintaining quality of life in these patients, while we await the results of further definitive trials being currently conducted.

Late rectal anastomotic leakage treated with diode laser FiLaC probe. A case report of a new minimal invasive treatment.

Project description:IntroductionAnastomotic Leakage (AL) is one of the most important early postoperative complication of the adenocarcinoma's surgical treatment. Fistula Laser Closure (FiLaC®) is a minimal invasive technique that use diode laser energy to obtain the fistula track obliteration and it is finding large application for other affection characterized by fistula tracts presence.Presentation of caseA 56 years old male, with no clinical history of adenocarcinoma in his family, underwent a laparoscopic low anterior resection with ileostomy for a rectal adenocarcinoma. Approximately 3 months after the procedure an anastomotic leak with an associated abscess was found. The patient underwent an endoscopic FiLaC off-label procedure on the AL and after further 4 months, he obtained a complete resolution of the anastomosis dehiscence.DiscussionThe literature is poor about the minimal invasive AL treatment and there is no paper about the management of the AL with the FiLaC® procedure. For asymptomatic patients a conservative solution is preferred, it could be considered a drain positioning for emptying abscesses and for irrigation or the use of an Endosponge to decrease the resolution time. The FiLaC® procedure could be a more feasible technique that could also reduce the healing time as well with no discomfort for the patient.ConclusionConsidering the results and our patient healing time, we think that an off-label application of FiLaC® procedure on asymptomatic low anastomotic leak could be an opportunity for a morbidity resolution shorter than the simple wait and see strategy, and more sustainable for the patient.

Perioperative morbidity and complications in minimal access surgery techniques in obese patients with degenerative lumbar disease.

Project description:The medical profession is increasingly confronted with the epidemic phenomenon of obesity. Its impact on spine surgery is not quite clear. Published data concerning the use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the spine among obese patients is scarce. The purpose of the present retrospective study was to evaluate perioperative as well as postoperative complication rates in MIS fusion of the lumbar spine in obese, overweight and normal patients classified according to their body mass index. Lumbar MIS fusion was performed by means of TLIF procedures and/or posterolateral fusion alone. A laminotomy was performed in patients with spinal stenosis. Of 72 patients, 39 underwent additional laminotomy for spinal stenosis. No differences were registered in respect of the numbers of fused segments or cages. Any harmful event occurring peri- or postoperatively was noted and included in the statistical analysis. No infection at the site of surgery or severe wound healing disorder was encountered. We registered no difference in blood loss, drainage, or the length of the hospital stay between the three BMI groups. We also observed no difference in complication rates between the three groups. This study confirms the low soft tissue damage of minimal access surgery techniques, which is an important type of surgery in obese patients. The smaller approach helps to minimize infections and wound healing disorders. Moreover, deeper regions of wounds are clearly visualized with the aid of tubular retractors.

The Relationship Between the Number of Intersections of Staple Lines and Anastomotic Leakage After the Use of a Double Stapling Technique in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery.

Project description:Laparoscopic intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis with double stapling technique is difficult because of unsuitable cutting angle in narrow pelvic cavity. For reasons of tilted and long linear staple line of rectal stump, circular anastomotic plane can make multiple intersections. The present study was designed to assess whether multiple intersections after double stapling technique is the risk factor of anastomotic complication in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.In total, 128 consecutive left colon and rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal resection with double stapling technique were enrolled in this study. In all cases, operator tried to reduce intersections by inversion and invagination techniques. They were subdivided into 3 groups: 58 patients with no intersection of staple lines (group A), 62 patients with 1 point of intersection (group B) and 8 patients with 2 points of intersection (group C). Intraoperative air leakage, incomplete cut ring, postoperative bleeding, anastomotic stenosis, and leakage were compared between the 3 groups.Clinical anastomotic leakage was identified in 1 (group C) of 128 patients (0.7%). Overall anastomotic leakage rate was 0% (0/58) in group A, 0% (0/62) in group B, and 12.5% (1/8) in group C (P=0.001). In univariate analysis, intersections of staple lines were associated with anastomotic complications. There were no statistically significant differences between the 3 groups in multivariate analysis.The number of intersections of staple lines is associated with anastomotic leakage, and the inversion technique is a useful method for avoiding anastomotic leakage. Using an appropriate technique by skilled operator, double stapling technique for laparoscopic anterior resection is safe and feasible.

Not-so-minimal for minimally invasive surgery.

Project description:Sub-macular hemorrhage poses a potential threat to vision if left untreated. The preferred surgical technique to clear sub-macular hemorrhage includes vitrectomy followed by retinotomy using a 41G needle with subsequent injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) followed by air/SF6 injection into the sub-retinal space. A malleable nature, increased resistance, and the cost of the 41G needle limit its use. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a 26G needle for retinotomy as a supplement for the 41G needle in a series of six subjects with sub-macular hemorrhage. A slight modification in the procedure was done by injecting air into the sub-retinal space prior to the r-tPA injection. We found that our technique of using the 26G needle for retinotomy is safe and effective due to its stable nature and self-sealing properties. An air injection prior to r-tPA allows for increased bioavailability of the drug by preventing efflux due to its tamponading effect.
