Abstract Background: Intrathoracic esophageal anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most fatal complications after esophagectomy. In this study, we tried to place an additional drainage tube in esophagus bed and evaluate its effect in early diagnosis and treatment of AL.Methods: From January 2010 to August 2020, a total of 312 patients, who suffered from esophageal or cardia carcinoma, underwent esophageal resection with intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis. Among them, we identified 138 patients with only one pleural drainage tube as “Control Group” and 174 patients with a pleural drainage tube and an additional mediastinal drainage tube (MDT) as “Tube Group”. The incidence of postoperative AL, time to diagnosis, time to recovery, and patient outcome were analyzed.Results: There were no significant differences in the AL rate (P = 0.837) and postoperative pain between two groups. However, in the Tube Group, almost all the patients were definitely diagnosed prior to the appearance of hyperpyrexia, which was regarded as the earliest and most common symptom after AL. Moreover, in the Tube Group, there was significant decrease in the incidence of uncurable fistula, which required re-operation or variable treatments under gastroscopy, when compared to the Control Group (P = 0.032). Finally, patients in the Tube Group were associated with reduced post AL hospital day (P = 0.015) and lower mortality, although there was no significant difference (P = 0.188), than in the Control Group.Conclusions: Placement of a MDT can not prevent the AL, but it is an effective method to diagnose AL earlier and facilitate the fistula healing and patient recovery.

In this study, we placed an additional drainage tube in the esophagus bed and evaluated its effect in early diagnosis and treatment of AL. Methods From January 2010 to August 2020, 312 patients with esophageal or cardia carcinoma underwent esophageal resection with intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis. A total of 138 patients with only one pleural drainage tube were divided into the “Control Group” and 174 patients with a pleural drainage tube and an additional mediastinal drainage tube (MDT) were divided into the “Tube Group”. For all patients, the incidence of postoperative AL, the time to diagnosis, time to recovery, and patient outcome were analyzed. Results No significant differences were observed in the AL rate (P = 0.837) and postoperative pain between two groups. However, in the Tube Group, almost all the patients were diagnosed prior to the appearance of hyperpyrexia, which was considered as the earliest and most common symptom after AL. In the Tube Group, a significant decrease was observed in the incidence of incurable fistula, which required re-operation or variable treatments under gastroscopy when compared to the Control Group (P = 0.032). Finally, patients in the Tube Group showed reduced post AL hospital day (P = 0.015) and a lower mortality, however, when compared to the Control Group, no significant differences were observed (P = 0.188). Conclusions Placement of an MDT does not prevent AL, but it is an effective approach for earlier diagnosis of AL and facilitates fistula healing and patient recovery.

Abstract Background Postoperative biliary strictures are commonly related to accidental bile duct injuries or occur at the site of biliary anastomosis. The first-line treatment for benign biliary strictures is endoscopic therapy, which is less invasive and repeatable. However, recanalization for biliary complete obstruction is technically challenging to treat. The present report describes a successful case of treatment by extraluminal recanalization for postoperative biliary obstruction using a transseptal needle. Case presentation A 66-year-old woman had undergone caudal lobectomy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. The posterior segmental branch of the bile duct was injured and repaired intraoperatively. Three months after the surgery, the patient had developed biliary leakage from the right hepatic bile duct, resulting in complete biliary obstruction. Since intraluminal recanalization with conventional endoscopic and percutaneous approaches with a guidewire failed, extraluminal recanalization using a transseptal needle with an internal lumen via percutaneous approach was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. The left lateral inferior segmental duct was punctured, and an 8-F transseptal sheath was introduced into the ostium of right hepatic duct. A transseptal needle was advanced, and the right hepatic duct was punctured by targeting an inflated balloon that was placed at the end of the obstructed right hepatic bile duct. After confirming successful puncture using contrast agent injected through the internal lumen of the needle, a 0.014-in. guidewire was advanced into the right hepatic duct. Finally, an 8.5-F internal–external biliary drainage tube was successfully placed without complications. One month after the procedure, the drainage tube was replaced with a 10.2-F drainage tube to dilate the created tract. Subsequent endoscopic internalization was performed 5 months after the procedure. At the 1-year follow-up examination, there was no sign of biliary obstruction and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusions Recanalization using a transseptal needle can be an alternative technique for rigid biliary obstruction when conventional techniques fail.

Route Of Infection

A 61-year-old woman with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) infection, who was treated with antibiotics, developed IPMN reinfection with febrile epigastric pain and was febrile. CT showed that the diameter of the IPMN had grown and hardened, with thickening of the cyst wall. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was then performed and a nasopancreatic cyst drainage tube was placed into the cyst. Symptoms and inflammatory findings improved considerably 17 days after endoscopic drainage. Few reports and evidence have been found regarding IPMN infections, and the frequency of onset, route of infection and optimal drainage method remain unknown. This study indicated that endoscopic transpapillary pancreatic cyst drainage was effective and is highly recommended for IPMN infection.
