Abstract Aim For large breast tumours, therapeutic mammoplasty (TM) provides a breast-conserving approach to the conventional mastectomy. The prevalence and outcomes following TM in larger breast tumours is relatively unknown. This study aims to analyse the short-term outcomes and local recurrence rate following TM for breast tumours of varying sizes. Method Single-centre retrospective analysis of data from all patients undergoing a TM between June 2016-October 2019. Variables reviewed included age, imaging, tumour size, pre-operative histology, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, post-operative pathology, post-operative complications, and recurrence rates. Results 192 patients undergoing a TM procedure were included, 126 (66%) patients had tumours <40mm and 66 (34%) patients had tumours >40mm. The average age of participants was 61 years with a mean follow-up of 31 months. The mean size of tumours >40mm was 56.8mm, of these patients 15% had positive margins, 2 (3%) patients required a further mastectomy and 8 (12%) underwent margin re-excisions. In lesions >40mm there were six episodes (9%) of T-junction delayed wound healing with two requiring surgical management, two episodes (3%) of wound infections requiring antibiotics and four episodes (6%) of seroma with one requiring surgery for an infected seroma. Two patients were found to have metastatic disease and no patients were found to have local recurrence at the most recent follow-up. Conclusions Our study demonstrated TM offers a surgical option with suitable cosmetic and oncological outcomes for women with early breast tumours above 40mm. These results warrant further study into the long-term outcomes for patients undergoing TM with tumours >40mm.

AbstractDespite advances in coloanal anastomosis techniques, satisfactory procedures completed without complications remain lacking. We investigated the effectiveness of our recently developed ‘Short stump and High anastomosis Pull-through’ (SHiP) procedure for delayed coloanal anastomosis without a stoma. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality rates and local recurrence of 37 patients treated using SHiP procedure, out of the 282 patients affected by rectal cancer treated in our institution between 2012 and 2020. The inclusion criterion was that the rectal cancer be located within 4 cm from the anal margin. One patient died of local and pulmonary recurrence after 6 years, one developed lung and liver metastases after 2 years, and one experienced local recurrence 2.5 years after surgery. No major leak, retraction, or ischaemia of the colonic stump occurred; the perioperative mortality rate was zero. Five patients (13.51%) had early complications. Stenosis of the anastomosis, which occurred in nine patients (24.3%), was the only long-term complication; only three (8.1%) were symptomatic and were treated with endoscopic dilation. The mean Wexner scores at 24 and 36 months were 8.3 and 8.1 points, respectively. At the 36-month check-up, six patients (24%) had major LARS, ten (40%) had minor LARS, and nine (36%) had no LARS. The functional results in terms of LARS were similar to those previously reported after immediate coloanal anastomosis with protective stoma. The SHiP procedure resulted in a drastic reduction in major complications, and none of the patients had a stoma.

Background: In the last 10 years, the management of patients with gastric cancer liver metastases (GCLM) has changed from chemotherapy alone, towards a multidisciplinary treatment with liver surgery playing a leading role. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy of hepatectomy for GCLM and to analyze the impact of related prognostic factors on long-term outcomes. Methods: The databases PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant articles from January 2010 to September 2020. We included prospective and retrospective studies that reported the outcomes after hepatectomy for GCLM. A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of prognostic factors was performed. Results: We included 40 studies, including 1573 participants who underwent hepatic resection for GCLM. Post-operative morbidity and 30-day mortality rates were 24.7% and 1.6%, respectively. One-year, 3-years, and 5-years overall survival (OS) were 72%, 37%, and 26%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-years, and 5-years disease-free survival (DFS) were 44%, 24%, and 22%, respectively. Well-moderately differentiated tumors, pT1–2 and pN0–1 adenocarcinoma, R0 resection, the presence of solitary metastasis, unilobar metastases, metachronous metastasis, and chemotherapy were all strongly positively associated to better OS and DFS. Conclusion: In the present study, we demonstrated that hepatectomy for GCLM is feasible and provides benefits in terms of long-term survival. Identification of patient subgroups that could benefit from surgical treatment is mandatory in a multidisciplinary setting.
