The Mean

Purpose. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term follow-up results of neurectomy clinical outcomes and complications in the treatment of Morton’s neuroma. Materials and methods. A total of 19 patients (19 different feet) were treated for Morton’s neuroma by excision of the interdigital nerve at our institute between May 1997 and May 1999. Thirteen (13 feet) of them were followed up. The 13 patients were female and had an average age of 43 years (range 34-54 years) at the time of the operation. The patients were followed-up for a mean of 10.5 years (range 10.0-12.2 years) and scored using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot scoring system and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score. Subjective satisfaction was evaluated at the final follow-up. Results. Eight patients scored more than 90 on the AOFAS forefoot scoring system. The VAS score was improved in all patients. The mean preoperative VAS score was 8.6 ± 0.8 cm (7-10) and the mean follow-up VAS score was 2.4 ± 1.8cm (0-6), which indicated no significant difference (P > .05). The final follow-up satisfaction results indicated that 4 patients were completely satisfied with the operation, 4 were satisfied with minor reservations, 5 were satisfied with major reservations, and no patient was unsatisfied. Neurectomy to treat Morton’s neuroma had a good satisfaction rate (61%). Eleven of the patients complained of numbness on the plantar aspect of the foot adjacent to the interspace, and 2 of these 11 patients complained of disability induced by severe numbness. There was a complaint of residual pain by 1 patient. There were no skin problems on the operation lesions. Conclusion. The long-term results of neurectomy clinical outcomes in Morton’s neuroma are slightly worse than the short- and mid-term results.

Abstract Background Morton's neuroma (MN) is a common cause of forefoot pain. After failure of conservative management, surgical procedures include neurectomy or neuroma preserving procedures; resection of deep transverse intermetatarsal ligament only (DTIML), dorsal neurolysis, dorsal nerve transposition (DNT). Objectives This retrospective study evaluates the long-term results of open DNT, and it also reports anatomical variants in the plantar interdigital nerve. Material and methods The study included 39 patients (30 females and 9 males) who were treated for MN between 2002 and 2016. Results The mean pre-operative Giannini score of 13 (0–30) improved to 61 (20–80) (p < .0001), with only 6 patients scoring less than 50 (poor). Using Coughlin’s criterion for overall satisfaction, 9 patients (23%) reported excellent, 18 patients (46%) good, 6 patients (15%) fair and 6 patients (15%) reported poor results. In the long term, 25 patients (64%) had no pain, 8 patients (20%) had mild pain, and 6 patients (16%) had severe pain. Ten patients (26%) reported normal sensitivity in their toes, 26 patients (66%) had numbness, and 3 patients (8%) reported dysesthesia in their toes. Twenty-two patients (56%) could wear fashionable shoes, 11 patients (28%) comfortable shoes, and 6 patients (16%) modified shoes. Regarding walking distance, 30 patients (77%) had no limitation, and 9 patients (23%) reported some limitation. Nineteen per cent regretted having surgery. Around 40% (17 out of 43 web spaces) showed anatomical variations in either the nerve or in the web space and we could not identify any specific risk factors in relation to the outcome. Conclusion Dividing the DTIML or dorsal neurolysis should be considered as the primary surgical treatment and, if this fails, neurectomy would be an option. DNT can be considered if one is concerned about stump neuroma, but this may be technically demanding and in some patients it may not be possible. Level of Evidence: Level IV - Case Control Retrospective study.

Facet Syndrome

The immediate and long-term results of treatment of 30 patients with severe pain syndrome of the lumbar region, who underwent operations on denervation of DOS, were studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive technologies for the treatment of pain in the lumbar region (denervation of DOS), to study the near and distant results of these treatment methods. Denervation DOS is an effective minimally invasive method for the treatment of facet syndrome caused by spondylarthrosis. It allows in the early and distant postoperative periods to significantly reduce the pain syndrome and improve the quality of life of patients.

Summary At our hospital, the main treatment for resectable esophageal cancer (EC) has since 2013 been total minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE). The aim of this study was to present the short- and long-term results in patients operated with TMIE. This cross-sectional study includes all patients scheduled for TMIE from June 2013 to January 2016 at Oslo University Hospital. Data on morbidity, mortality, and survival were retrospectively collected from the patient administration system and the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry. Long-term postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQL) and level of dysphagia were assessed by patients completing the following questionaries: EORTC QLQ-OG25, QLQ-C30, and the Ogilvie grading scale. A total of 123 patients were included in this study with a median follow-up time of 58 months (1–88 months). 85% had adenocarcinoma, 15% squamous cell carcinoma. Seventeen patients (14%) had T1N0M0, 68 (55%) T2-T3N0M0, or T1-T2N1M0 and 38 (31%) had either T3N1M0 or T4anyNM0. Ninety-eight patients (80%) received neoadjuvant (radio)chemotherapy and 104 (85%) had R0 resection. Anastomotic leak rate and 90-days mortality were 14% and 2%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival was 53%. Patients with tumor free resection margins of &gt;1 mm (R0) had a 5-year survival of 57%. Median 60 months (range 49–80) postoperatively the main symptoms reducing HRQL were anxiety, chough, insomnia, and reflux. Median Ogilvie score was 0 (0–1). In this study, we report relatively low mortality and good overall survival after TMIE for EC. Moreover, key symptoms reducing long-term HRQL were identified.

Introduction Since its first publication in 1997, minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) has developed into the predominant minimally invasive surgery of the thyroid. A major advantage over conventional thyroid surgery is the superior cosmetic result. However, there are still few data comparing the long-term cosmetic results of the two methods. This paper compares the long-term cosmetic results of the two methods, based on follow-up assessments. Methods Between 2004 and 2011, 143 preselected patients underwent a MIVAT in our department. Additionally, 134 patients underwent a conventional thyroidectomy in our hospital in 2011. A total of 117 patients from the MIVAT group and 102 patients from the conventional thyroidectomy group received follow-up assessments after 23.1 and 23.6 months, respectively, using the patient and observer scar assessment scale. Results The measurable cervical scar length averaged 1.9 cm in the MIVAT group and 3.9 cm in the conventional group (P < 0.001). Some 11.1% of the patients in the MIVAT group and 7.1% of the patients in the conventional group had developed keloid (P = 0.391). The patient scar assessment score was 10.4 for the MIVAT group compared with 9.9 for the conventional thyroidectomy group (P = 0.691) and the observer scare assessment score was 8.6 for MIVAT compared with 9.9 for conventional thyroidectomy (P = 0.011). Conclusion In the patient assessment instrument, conventional thyroidectomy had a small advantage over MIVAT in the cosmetic long-term results. This difference between the two groups was, however, not significant. Our result contradicts short-term cosmetic results of published randomized studies with improvement for MIVAT. The Observer Score demonstrates a significant advantage of the MIVAT.

Purpose: To compare long-term patency and limb survival rates for the classical in situ surgical bypass procedure versus a minimally invasive technique for femorodistal revascularization. Methods: From May 1992 to June 1994, a prospective multicenter study was undertaken at 4 centers to evaluate the open versus closed technique for femorodistal bypass grafting. Of 97 patients enrolled in the trial, 73 patients (49 men; mean age 71 years) were assigned to the long-term follow-up protocol and prospectively randomized to the open (n = 38) or closed (n = 35) procedure. The classical open technique is characterized by a long incision over the length of the bypass graft, while the minimally invasive procedure involves only two short incisions over each anastomosis site (the side branches are closed with a coaxial embolization catheter system). Graft patency was evaluated with duplex imaging periodically throughout the 4-year observation period. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups with respect to age, sex, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or smoking. However, the open group had a significantly greater incidence of diabetes (p = 0.037). Over a median 4.7-year follow-up (range 0.3–6.4), 9 (12%) patients (3 open and 6 closed) were lost to follow-up: 2 died and 7 refused the duplex examination. No significant differences in 4-year patency, limb salvage, or survival was demonstrated between the open versus closed treatment groups; 4-year secondary patency was 62% versus 64%, respectively, and limb salvage was 72% versus 86%. Conclusions: The closed technique for femorodistal in situ bypass procedures yields favorable long-term outcomes compared to the traditional open technique.
