Objective
To understand status of technical realization, present development, faced problems, and application prospects of reduced-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer, and to analyze safety and feasibility so as to provide theoretical and practical basis for clinical application and promotion.
Method
By searching the databases such as Medline, Embase, and Wanfang, etc., the relevant literatures about reduced-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer were collected and reviewed.
Results
At present, the most common reduced-port laparoscopic surgery was the 1-port laparoscopic surgery, 2-port laparoscopic surgery, and 3-port laparoscopic surgery. The 1-port laparoscopic surgery had the effects of minimal invasiveness and cosmesis, but it was difficult to perform. The 2-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer preserved as far as possible the effect of minimal invasiveness, the difficulty of procedure was reduced greatly, which was easy to be learnt and promoted. The experience of the 3-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer contributed to the technical development of the 1-port laparoscopic surgery, with no need for the assisted incision for intraoperative specimen. The reduced-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer was technically feasible and safe, which possessed the equal or better short-term outcomes as compared with the conventional 5-port laparoscopic or open surgery beside the radical resection for rectal cancer. However, the stringent technique for the laparoscopic surgery was necessary and it needed to overcome the learning curve.
Conclusions
Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery has some obvious advantages in minimal invasiveness, cosmesis, and enhanced recovery. More large-sample, multi-center, randomized controlled trials are eager to further confirm safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of reduced-port laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.
Objective
To analyze clinical value of early enteral nutrition following radical resection of gastric cancer.
Methods
Seventy-six patients with gastric cancer underwent radical resection from May 1, 2016 to July 1, 2016 in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were included according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, then were randomly divided into observation group (36 cases) and control group (40 cases). The patients in the observation group received the enteral nutrition on day 2 following the surgery, in the control group received the conventional management. The gastrointestinal recovery and the adverse reaction were compared in these two groups. The preoperative and postoperative laboratory indicators and the body weight of the patients in both groups were analyzed.
Results
① The general data such as age, gender, and body weight had no significant differences in these two groups (P>0.05). ② The first anus exhaust time and the first defecation time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). ③ The adverse reaction rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). ④ On admission, the serum albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, and lymphocyte count had no significant differences in these two groups (P>0.05). On day 5 after the operation, the serum albumin of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). ⑤ The body weight had no significant difference in these two groups before the operation (P>0.05), which in the observation group was significantly heavier than that of the control group on day 30 after the operation (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that early enteral nutrition following radical resection of gastric cancer is safe and effective, it could promote gastrointestinal function resumption and effectively improve nutritional status.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) and prognosis of patients after radical resection of distal gastric cancer.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 408 patients undergoing radical resection of distal gastric cancer (D2 or D2+ lymph node dissection) in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, from January 2010 to January 2014. Then we explored the influence of MLNR on the prognosis after radical resection of distal gastric cancer.ResultsWithout distinguishing pTNM staging, the overall survival situation of patient with MLNR≥0.15 and patient with MLNR<0.15 was statistically significant (χ2=3.775, P=0.046); when patients with staging of pTNM Ⅰ, there was no statistically significant MLNR could be calculated; when patients with staging of pTNM Ⅱ, the overall survival situation of patient with MLNR≥0.14 and patient with MLNR<0.14 was statistically significant (χ2=3.110, P=0.029); when patients with staging of pTNM Ⅲ, the overall survival situation of patient with MLNR≥0.10 and patient with MLNR<0.10 was statistically significant (χ2=1.631, P=0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that depth of invasion (pT stage) and MLNR were independent prognostic factors for prognosis of patients after radical resection of distal gastric cancer (P<0.05).ConclusionMLNR is a good prognostic indicator for patients with distal gastric cancer after radical resection.
Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of extended and standard surgery for carcinoma of head of pancreas by using meta-analysis. Methods Related articls （1990-2012） were searched in Pubmed， WOS， Embase， WanFang， SinoMed， and CNKI. Study on quality of these literatures were evaluated by using the Jadad score. The patients with pancreatic head carcinoma underwent extended radical resection and standard radical resection were classified to treatment group and control group， respectively. The mortality， morbidity， and survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation in the two groups were evaluated by using meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies fitted the selection crit-eria， including 744 patients. Among them 357 cases were in standard radical resection group and 387 cases in the extended radical resection group. The results of meta-analysis showed that： ①The morbidity after operation did not significantly differed between the extended radical resection group and standard radical resection group （OR=1.360， 95% CI=0.990-1.870， P=0.050）. ②The mortality of the two groups did not significantly differed （OR=0.870， 95% CI=0.430-1.760，P=0.700）. ③There were no significant differences in survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year between the two groups （OR=0.880， 95% CI=0.450-1.720， P=0.710；OR=0.940， 95% CI=0.590-1.480，P=0.710；OR=1.000， 95% CI=0.600-1.67， P=1.000）. Conclusion Compared with standard radical resection， extended radical resection can not improve the survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation， and can’t reduce the mortality and morbidity after operation
Objective
To investigate the strategy of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Method
Reviewing the related literatures at home and abroad in recent years, to summarize the progress of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Results
We should clear the postoperative bleeding time, extent, cause, and location, to help the clinician to choose the appropriate timing of intervention and treatment. The patients with early hemorrhage and mild degree hemorrhage could be treated conservatively. If patients with severe hemorrhage and hemodynamic disorders, surgical intervention must be decisive. Patients with late hemorrhage would have serious consequences, and these patients should receive interventional or surgical treatment as early as possible.
Conclusions
For patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection, doctors need to do accurate preoperative evaluation, meticulous operation, and intensive management after operation, to reduce the incidence of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. If the postoperative hemorrhage occurs, the cause, location, time, and degree of hemorrhage should be clearly defined to facilitate clinicians to make rapid clinical decisions and to develop treatment programs.
Objective
To explore the influencing factors for pulmonary infection after radical resection of colon cancer.
Methods
A cohort study included 56 patients who underwent radical resection of colon cancer in People’s Hospital of Daye City from Oct. 2014 to Oct. 2016 were followed-up prospectively, to observe the occurrence of pulmonary infection, and collectting the related factors for pulmonary infection in addition.
Results
The clinical data of 53 patients were finalized and the clinical data of these patients were complete. Among them, 13 patients suffered from pulmonary infection after radical resection of colon cancer, and 40 patients had no obvious exacerbation and no complicated pulmonary infection. Results of logistic regression showed that, value of forced expiratory volume in1 second/forced vital capacity (OR=1.174, P=0.033), operative time (OR=1.638, P=0.012), levels of postoperative copeptin (OR=1.328, P=0.032), and procalcitonin (OR=1.465, P=0.042) were risk factors for pulmonary infection after radical resection of colon cancer. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that, operative time was 6.207-hour, postoperative copeptin level was 10.420 pmol/L, and the postoperative procalcitonin level was 3.676 ng/mL, which had the best predictive effect on predicting pulmonary infection after radical resection of colon cancer.
Conclusions
Value of forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity, operative time, levels of copeptin and procalcitonin after operation are the independent influencing factors for pulmonary infection after radical resection of colon cancer, and it has best prognostic outcome when the operative time is 6.207-hour, postoperative copeptin level is 10.420 pmol/L, and the postoperative procalcitonin level is 3.676 ng/mL.
ObjectiveTo introduce the current study of the metastatic mode and operation methods in advanced gallbladder carcinoma. MethodsThe literatures about metastatic mode and operation methods of advanced gallbladder carcinoma in recent 5 years were reviewed.ResultsLymph node and hepatic invasion were the main mode of advanced gallbladder carcinoma. The Japanese Society of Biliary Surgery （JSBS） classification to gallbladder carcinoma was more reasonable than the UICC classification. The survival rate after radical resection was higher than that after cholecytectomy in patients with T2n1-2M0. In the patients that tumor extended adjacent organs but the lymph node metastatic localized within n2, extended radical resection provided a survival advantage. If the patients’ tumor was not resectable or who had lymph node metastasis beyond n3, the benefit of extended radical resection seemed limited.ConclusionIn the carefully selected patients, extended radical resection will improve the prognosis of advanced gallbladder carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of CRC patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria treated in the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications after the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ResultsAtotal of 170 eligible patients were included in this study, and the postoperative complications occurred in 45 patients, 24 of whom were severe complications. The univariate analysis results showed that the age (P<0.001), body mass index (BMI, P=0.047), age adjusted Charlson complication index (aCCI) score (P=0.002), American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (P<0.001), prognostic nutritional index (PNI, P=0.011), preoperative anemia (P=0.011), operation numbers of surgeon (P=0.003), and operation time (P=0.026) were related to the perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. The statistic indexes of univariate analysis (P<0.05) combined with indexes of clinical significance were included in the multivariate analysis, the results showed that the ASA classification Ⅲ– Ⅳ (OR=3.536, P=0.027), BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR=3.228, P=0.031), preoperative anemia (OR=2.876, P=0.049), operation numbers of surgeon <300 (OR=0.324, P=0.046), and the operation time ≥300 min (OR=3.480, P=0.020) increased the probability of perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that clinicians should pay attention to the perioperative management of patients with CRC, such as adequately evaluating the preoperative status of patients by ASA classification, PNI, and aCCI to adjust the malnutrition of patients; after operation, the patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and operation time more than 300 min should be paid more attention. At the same time, the surgeon should continuously accumulate the operation numbers and improve the operation proficiency so as to reduce the occurrence of perioperative severe complications after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility, safety and clinical effect of total laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.MethodsRetrospectively summarized the 14 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, who underwent total laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from April 2016 to June 2018. Collected the clinical data of those patients, including 7 cases of Bismuth type Ⅰ, 5 cases of Bismuth type Ⅱ, and 2 cases of Bismuth type Ⅲb.ResultsTotal laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were performed successfully in all 14 patients. The operative time was 190–400 min (median time of 285 min) and the amount of intraoperative blood loss was 100–500 mL (median amount of 175 mL). There was no death case during the perioperative period. Postoperative pathological results showed that all cases accorded with bile duct adenocarcinoma, resection margins of them were negative, amount of lymph node was detected 6–15 per case (median amount of 8 per case), and 3 patients were inspected with peritumoral lymph node metastasis. Two patients were combined with postoperative bile leakage, one of whom was complicated with an abdominal infection, and both were cured and discharged after conservative treatment. All patients were followed-up regularly within 3–24 months (median followed-up period of 16 months). One of them recurred within 12 months after the operation. The remaining patients have survived well so far.ConclusionUnder the operation of the experienced surgeon, total laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is safe, feasible and effective in the short term.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect of laparoscopic assisted and open D2 radical resection in treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
MethodsThe clinical data of 76 cases performed by laparoscopic assisted D2 radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 104 cases performed by open operation (open group) from October 2010 to October 2012 in our center were retrospective analized.Operation related index, postoperative recovery, and extent of radical resection of tumor of 2 groups were compared.
ResultsThe operative time of the laparoscopic group[(192.5±14.8) min]was longer than that open group[(171.5±16.5) min, P < 0.05].But the blood loss, postoperative drainage, length of incision, and hospital stay of the laparoscopic group were significantly less or shorter than those of open group (P < 0.05).There were no significant difference in postoperative complications and extent of radical resection of tumor between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).There were no residual tumor in distal margin and operatiive death case in both 2 groups.
ConclusionComparing with open operation, the laparoscopic assisted surgery for advanced gastric cancer could achieve the same clinical outcomes, and obvious advantage of minimal invasion.
