Abstract   Laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, RNY reconstruction may be an alternative option in patients with complex pathophysiology and other risk factors. This study aimed to compare perioperative and short-term outcomes between primary fundoplication and RNY reconstruction. Methods After IRB approval, a prospectively maintained esophageal surgery database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent primary fundoplication or RNY reconstruction from September 2016 to July 2020. We retrieved perioperative outcomes (operative time, length of hospital stay, intraoperative and postoperative complications) along with GERD-Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) scores at annual follow-up. Results During the study period, 226 patients underwent surgery (fundoplication: 210; RNY: 16). The most common indication for RNY was severe esophageal dysmotility or morbid obesity. There was only one conversion to open surgery due to adhesions (fundoplication group). The operative time, length of hospital stay, and ICU stay were significantly lower in the fundoplication group. Rates of intraoperative (fundoplication: 3% vs RNY: 0) and postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥II) (fundoplication: 3% vs RNY: 6%) were not significantly different between groups. Both groups had a significant and similar improvement of GERD-HRQL scores 1 year after surgery (Table 1). Conclusion Primary antireflux surgery is associated with low perioperative morbidity and excellent short-term outcomes. RNY reconstruction and fundoplication have similar outcomes. More liberal use of RNY reconstruction as the primary antireflux surgery in patients at high risk of failure with fundoplication should be explored.

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy represents an effective therapeutic approach for right colon cancer (RCC). The primary aim of this study was to evaluate bowel function recovery, length of hospital stay, operative time, and the number of general and anastomosis-related postoperative complications from intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) vs. extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA); the secondary outcome was the number of lymph nodes retrieved. This observational study was conducted on 108 patients who underwent right hemicolectomy for RCC; after surgical resection, 64 patients underwent ICA and 44 underwent ECA. The operative time was slightly longer in the ICA group than in the ECA group, even though the difference was not significant (199.31 ± 48.90 min vs. 183.64 ± 35.80 min; p = 0.109). The length of hospital stay (7.53 ± 1.91 days vs. 8.77 ± 3.66 days; p = 0.036) and bowel function recovery (2.21 ± 1.01 days vs. 3.45 ± 1.82 days; p < 0.0001) were significantly lower in the ICA group. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications (12% in ICA group vs. 9% in ECA group), wound infection (6% in ICA group vs. 7% in ECA group), or anastomotic leakage (6% in ICA group vs. 9% in ECA group). We did not observe a significant difference between the two groups in the number of lymph nodes collected (19.46 ± 7.06 in ICA group vs. 22.68 ± 8.79 in ECA group; p = 0.086). ICA following laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, compared to ECA, could lead to a significant improvement in bowel function recovery and a reduction in the length of hospital stay in RCC patients.

AbstractTo evaluate whether the learning curve for sleeve gastrectomy could be completed after 50 cases. First 100 patients undergoing LSG under a newly trained laparoscopic surgeon were included in this study and divided into two groups of 50 consecutive patients each. Perioperative outcomes were compared to recently introduced global benchmarks. Short-term weight loss was calculated as Total Weight Loss Percent (%TWL) and complications were classified in accordance with the Clavien–Dindo classification. CUSUM analysis was performed for operative time and hospital stay. Mean preoperative age and BMI were 41.8 ± 10.3 years and 42.9 ± 5.4 kg/m2, respectively. Demographics and rate of patients with previous surgery were comparable preoperatively in the two groups. Mean operative time was 92.1 ± 19.3 min and hospital stay was 3.4 ± 0.6 days as per our standard protocol of discharge. Uneventful postoperative course was recorded in 93% of patients and only one case of staple line leak was registered in the first 50 cases (group 1). No statistical difference in BMI and %TWL was found between the two groups at any time of follow-up. Comparison between two groups showed a significant reduction in hospital stay and operative time after the first 50 LSGs (p < 0.05). LSG can be performed by newly trained surgeons proctored by senior tutors. At least 50 cases are needed to meet global benchmark cut-offs and few more cases may be required to reach the plateau of the learning curve.

ABSTRACT Objective: in Latin America, especially Brazil, the use of a robotic platform for thoracic surgery is gradually increasing in recent years. However, despite tuberculosis and inflammatory pulmonary diseases are endemic in our country, there is a lack of studies describing the results of robotic surgical treatment of bronchiectasis. This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes of robotic surgery for inflammatory and infective diseases by determining the extent of resection, postoperative complications, operative time, and length of hospital stay. Methods: retrospective study from a database involving patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis and undergoing robotic thoracic surgery at three hospitals in Brazil between January of 2017 and January of 2020. Results: a total of 7 patients were included. The mean age was 47 + 18.3 years (range, 18-70 years). Most patients had non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (n=5), followed by tuberculosis bronchiectasis (n=1) and lung abscess (n=1). The performed surgeries were lobectomy (n=3), anatomic segmentectomy (n=3), and bilobectomy (n=1). The median console time was 147 minutes (range 61-288 min.) and there was no need for conversion to open thoracotomy. There were no major complications. Postoperative complications occurred in one patient and it was a case of constipation with the need for an intestinal lavage. The median for chest tube time and hospital stay, in days, was 1 (range, 1-6 days) and 5 (range, 2-14 days) respectively. Conclusions: robotic thoracic surgery for inflammatory and infective diseases is a feasible and safe procedure, with a low risk of complications and morbidity.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the results of 300 cases of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) performed by the same surgeon. Material and methods: During the study period, a total of 300 TLH operations were performed between January 2017 and December 2018. Demographic characteristics, indications of hysterectomy, uterine weights, intra-operative and post-operative complications, duration of the operation, length of hospital stay, blood loss of patients, visual analogue scores and amount of analgesics needed were retrospectively evaluated. Complications were analysed and compared with literature. Results: Parameters analysed for 300 patients included in the study were as follows: mean age 47.82 ± 6.18 years, mean parity 3.4 ± 2.0 (0–11), BMI 27.41 ± 4.36 (kg/m²), mean uterine weight 367.67 ± 266.21 g (50–1600 g), mean operative time 89.07 ± 37.94 min (30–240 min), mean hospital stay 54.37 ± 21.95 h (24–168 h) and total complication rate 28 (9.3%). Conversion to open surgery was required in 29 (9.7%) patients. The level of technical difficulty and existence of prior abdominal surgery were associated with a higher risk of complications and conversions to laparotomy. Conclusion: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a well-designed surgical procedure for the management of benign gynaecological conditions, and after adequate training, it seems to be a safe and effective procedure for patients.

270 Background: It is well known that radical cystectomy is associated with comparatively high perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the present study, we collected data of perioperative outcomes from Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine and our teaching hospitals and assessed the complications and death rate within 90 days after radical cystectomy. Methods: We collected clinical data of 970 patients undergoing radical cystectomy for nonmetastatic bladder cancer in 21 institutions between 1999 and 2009. We then assessed 90-day complications and death after radical cystectomy. The complications were classified according to the modified Clavien classification. Over 40 variables were included in the analysis, including age, ASA score, BMI, comorbidity, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, clinical stage, type of urinary diversion, operative time, estimated blood loss, transfusion, and hospital stay. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing Student's t-tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The median patient age was 70 (range, 25-91) years old. 62.5% of patients had an ASA score≥2. Regarding the urinary diversion, ileal conduit was performed in 523 (53.6%) patients, neobladder in 178 (18.4%), ureterocutaneostomy in 255 (26.3%). Median operative time was 399 (range, 100-927) minutes. Median hospital stay was 39 (0-364) days. Regarding the complications, 660 (68%) patients experienced at least one complication and death rate within 90 days after surgery was 1.34% (n=13), respectively. Of the complications, 34.1% was classified as grade 1, 41.5% as grade 2, 20.1% as grade 3, 1.1% as grade 4, 1.2% as grade 5. Multivariate analysis identified age≥70 (odds ratio 1.41), urinary diversion utilizing intestine (OR 1.58) and operative time ≥ 400 (OR 1.54) were independent risk factors. Conclusions: Death rate was 1.34%, which was compatible to reports form western high- volume centers. About two-thirds of the patients experienced at least one complication, although they were mostly classified as grade 2 or less. Age, urinary diversion, and operative time were significant risk factors for perioperative complications after radical cystectomy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

AbstractSurgery is developing in the direction of minimal invasiveness, and robotic surgery is becoming increasingly adopted in colonic resection procedures. The ergonomic improvements of robot promote surgical performance, reduce workload for surgeons and benefit patients. Compared with laparoscopy-assisted colon surgery, the robotic approach has the advantages of shorter length of hospital stay, lower rate of conversion to open surgery, and lower rate of intraoperative complications for short-term outcomes. Synchronous robotic liver resection with colon cancer is feasible. The introduction of the da Vinci Xi System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) has introduced more flexibility to colonic operations. Optimization of the suprapubic surgical approach may shorten the length of hospital stay for patients who undergo robotic colonic resection. Single-port robotic colectomy reduces the number of robotic ports for better looking and faster recovery. Intestinal anastomosis methods using totally robotic surgery result in shorter time to bowel function recovery and tolerance to a solid diet, although the operative time is longer. Indocyanine green is used as a tracer to assess blood supplementation in the anastomosis and marks lymph nodes during operation. The introduction of new surgical robots from multiple manufacturers is bound to change the landscape of robotic surgery and yield high-quality surgical outcomes. The present article reviews recent advances in robotic colonic resection over the past five years.
