Abstract   Superior polar gastrectomy remains an accepted surgical alternative for proximal gastric tumors, although this approach has higher rates of gastroesophageal reflux since the valvular mechanism of cardias disappears. Thus, an additional technique is needed to avoid its presence. Methods This is a description of surgical technique and short term results of superior polar gastrectomy associated to Kamikawa’s anti-reflux technique in a female patient with proximal gastric cancer. Results A 55 year-old female diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. Tumor was 3 cm long, from esophago-gastric junction to subcardial region (cT3N1M0). Patient underwent perioperative chemotherapy and surgical intervention 6 weeks later. A laparoscopic superior polar gastrectomy was performed and D1+ lymphadenectomy. A laparotomy was made to externalize the surgical specimen. Saline solution was injected into submucosa of gastric pouch and two seromuscular flaps were dissected. Gastric mucous membrane was opened in the inferior part of the flaps, constructing an esophagogastric end-to-side anastomosis. Seromuscular flaps were sewn overlapping the esophago-gastric anastomosis. Patient presented an optimal postoperative evolution, without heartburn, dysphagia neither vomiting. Conclusion The procedure described here is feasible and performable, and achieves correct oncological results avoiding performing a total gastrectomy and improving the gastroesophageal reflux problems derived from a superior polar gastrectomy.

Abstract Aim To present a case report where Kamikawa’s technique1 was used, as well as the patient’s postoperative evolution and results. Background and Methods Superior polar gastrectomy remains an accepted surgical alternative for proximal gastric tumors, although this approach has higher rates of gastroesophageal reflux since the valvular mechanism of cardias disappears. Thus, an additional technique is needed to avoid its presence. This is a description of surgical technique and short term results of superior polar gastrectomy associated to Kamikawa’s anti-reflux technique in a female patient with proximal gastric cancer. Results A 55 year-old female with no relevant medical history, diagnosed with diffuse signet ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma. The tumor was 3 cm long, extending from the esophago-gastric junction to the subcardial region (cT3 N1 M0). After presentation in a Multidisciplinary Group, the patient underwent perioperative chemotherapy according to the FLOT-4 protocol, presenting partial clinical response. The surgical intervention took place 6 weeks after finishing chemotherapy, and a laparoscopic superior polar gastrectomy was performed, associating extended resection including 3-4 cm of distal esophagus and D1+ lymphadenectomy with periesophageal lymph node regions 110 and 111. Once the resection was finalized, an assistance laparotomy was made to externalize the surgical specimen. Saline solution was injected into submucosa of the cranial part of the gastric pouch and afterwards, two seromuscular flaps were dissected. Then, the gastric mucous membrane was opened in the inferior part of the flaps, constructing an esophagogastric end-to-side anastomosis made with 2 running sutures of V-lock 3/0. Finally, the previously prepared seromuscular flaps were sewn overlapping the esophagus and the esophago-gastric anastomosis in order to prevent reflux. The patient presented a benign postoperative course, reintroducing oral intake and developing no heartburn, no dysphagia, nor vomiting and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day. The postoperative barium swallow radiography showed no leak of contrast nor any regurgitation. The pathology report showed pT3N1 (2/17) and confirmed tumor free resection margins. Conclusion The procedure described here is feasible and performable, and achieves correct oncological results avoiding performing a total gastrectomy and improving the gastroesophageal reflux problems derived from a superior polar gastrectomy.

An estimate of the incidence of nosocomial purulent-septic infections (GSI) of adult patients after various types of closed heart surgery according to the results of a study of medical records of 3275 patients is presented. It was established that the incidence rate of typical GSI after endovascular cardiac surgery was 3.1, with prenosological forms — 3.9 per 1000 operations. The main clinical options for postoperative GSI were infections in the field of surgical intervention, community-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection and bloodstream infection. There were no statistically significant differences between the incidence of GSI after stenting of the coronary arteries, operations for heart rhythm disturbances, stenosis of the carotid artery and other operations. The low incidence of GSI after closed heart surgery is due to the short duration of surgery, as well as the absence or short-term resuscitation of patients.

Abstract   Although minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been performed for esophageal cancer worldwide, intra-thoracic anastomosis under prone positions is still challenging. In this retrospective study, we reviewed our short-term results of this anastomotic technique in our institution. Methods From November 2016 to December 2019, we performed 319 esophagectomies. Of these patients, 28 patients (9%) underwent intra-thoracic esophago-gastric anastomosis under MIE. Procedures The left side of an esophageal stump which had been closed using a linear stapler was opened for anastomosis. Then, the anterior wall of a gastric conduit, around 5 cm below the tip, was opened for anastomosis. Linear staplers were inserted in both esophageal stump and gastric conduit and side-to-side anastomosis was performed. The opening for insertion was closed using a hand-sewn anastomosis in 2 layers. Results Five patients (18%) suffered anastomotic leakage with Clavien-Dindo 2 and 3a, and all of them recovered by conservative treatments. Two patients (2/19, 11%) showed anastomotic stricture which improved by several endoscopic dilatations. Six patients (6/19, 32%) showed the reflux esophagitis of Grade C. Conclusion Although we have not experienced severe or critical post-operative complications, the short-term results of intra-thoracic anastomosis under MIE were not sufficient. Additional progresses in techniques are required.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endoscopic antireflux treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are still evolving, and most of the published studies address symptom relief in the short-term. Objective - We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on evaluating the efficacy of the different endoscopic procedures. METHODS: Search was restricted to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on MedLine, Cochrane, SciELO, and EMBASE for patients with chronic GERD (>6 months), over 18 years old and available follow up of at least 3 months. The main outcome was to evaluate the efficacy of the different endoscopic treatments compared to sham, pharmacological or surgical treatment. Efficacy was measured by different subjective and objective outcomes. RESULTS: We analyzed data from 16 RCT, totaling 1085 patients. The efficacy of endoscopic treatments compared to sham and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) treatment showed a significant difference up to 6 months in favor of endoscopy with no heterogeneity (P<0.00001) (I2: 0%). The subgroup analysis showed a statistically significant difference up to 6 months in favor of endoscopy: endoscopy vs PPI (P<0.00001) (I2: 39%). Endoscopy vs sham (P<0.00001) (I2: 0%). Most subjective and objective outcomes were statistically significant in favor of endoscopy up to 6 and 12 months follow up. CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis shows a good short-term efficacy in favor of endoscopic procedures when comparing them to a sham and pharmacological or surgical treatment. Data on long-term follow up is lacking and this should be explored in future studies.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: New endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) are developed every year and are indicated in cases that are refractory to conventional therapies as well as after surgical treatment failure. OBJECTIVE: To present the first cases of endoscopic therapy for GERD performed in Brazil. METHODS: Use of radiofrequency with the Stretta procedure in symptomatic volunteers diagnosed with GERD. RESULTS The technique was performed in three patients after they were included in the study protocol. No patient had complications, and all patients were discharged on the same day, either without medication or taking it sporadically for symptom control. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic treatment for GERD using radiofrequency was effective in the cases presented herein with no technical complications.

Abstract Background Cryoballoon ablation could induce stricture formation to achieve outlet and pouch reduction in patients regaining weight after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This pilot study aimed to assess technical feasibility and short-term efficacy. Methods A retrospective chart review (January – November 2018) at two academic centers identified patients with weight regain post-RYGB, treated with cryoablation if pouch > 4 cm and/or outlet > 15 mm. Patients were scheduled for surveillance endoscopies at 8 weeks. Results 22 patients presented 10.5 years (SD 4.42) post-RYGB with weight regain of 30.9 kg (SD 13.7). Technical success was 89.5 % for outlet ablation and 93.0 % for pouch ablation. From baseline to 8 weeks, the outlet was reduced from 24.1 mm (95 % confidence interval [CI] 19.8 to 28.5) to 17.1 mm (95 %CI 13.1 to 21.1; P < 0.001), and pouch from 5 cm (95 %CI 4.1 to 5.9) to 3.9 cm (95 %CI 2.6 to 5.1; P < 0.05). Total body weight loss at 8 weeks was 8.1 % (SD 12.8 %). Conclusion Cryoablation appears technically feasible and effective for outlet and/or pouch reduction in the short term.
