Recurrent Hiatal Hernia

Surgery for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a satisfactory outcome for most patients; however, sometimes redo surgery is required. The Outcome and morbidity of a redo are suggested to be less successful than those of primary surgery. The aim of this study was to describe our experience, long-term results, and complications in redo surgery. From 2000 to 2016, 765 patients were operated on for GERD at our hospital. A retrospective analysis of 56 patients (7.3%) who underwent redo surgery was conducted. Large symptomatic recurrent hiatal hernia (50%) and dysphagia (28.6%) were the most frequent indications for redo. An open approach was chosen in 64.5 per cent of patients. Intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were 18 per cent and 14.3 per cent, respectively. Mortality rate was 1.8 per cent. Symptomatic outcome was successful in 71.3 per cent. Patients reoperated because of dysphagia and large recurrent hiatal hernia had a significantly higher failure rate (32.3% and 31.2%, respectively; P = 0.001). Complication rate was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group (0% vs 22.2%; P = 0.04). There were no statistical differences between expert and nonexpert surgeons. Laparoscopic approach has increased to 83.3 per cent in the last five years. Symptomatic outcome after redo surgery was less satisfactory than that after primary surgery. Complications were lower if a minimally invasive surgical approach was used.

Background Polyurethane implants have been used on and off in breast reconstruction since 1991 while prepectoral breast reconstruction has gained popularity in recent times. In this study, we present our outcomes from the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) complete wrap with polyurethane implants in prepectoral breast reconstruction.Methods This is a retrospective review of prospectively maintained database from 41 patients receiving complete ADM wrap with prepectoral polyurethane implants over a 3-year period. Selection criteria were adapted from a previous study (4135 Trust Clinical Audit Database) evaluating prepectoral reconstruction with Braxon matrices. Patient demographics, operative data, surgical complications, and outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results A total of 52 implant reconstructions were performed in 41 patients with a mean follow-up of 14.3 months (range, 6–36 months). The overall reported complication rates including early (less than 6 weeks) and late complications. Early complications included two patients (4.9%) with wound dehiscence. One of which had an implant loss that was salvageable. Another patient (2%) developed red-breast syndrome and two women (4.9%) developed with seroma treated conservatively. Late complications included one patient (2%) with grade II capsular contraction, 12 patients with grade I-II rippling and two patients (4.9%) with grade III rippling.Conclusions We present our experience of prepectoral polyurethane implant using complete ADM wrap. This is one of the few papers to report on the outcome of the prepectoral use of polyurethane in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. Our early observational series show satisfactory outcome and long-term results are warranted by a large multicenter study.

Effective Treatment Modality

Cushing's syndrome (CS) results from sustained exposure to excessive levels of free glucocorticoids. One of the main causes of CS is excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by tumors in the pituitary gland (Cushing's disease [CD]). Cushing's disease and its associated hypercortisolism have a breadth of debilitating symptoms associated with an increased mortality rate, warranting urgent treatment. Currently, the first line of treatment for CD is transsphenoidal surgery (TSS), with excellent long-term results. Transsphenoidal resections performed by experienced surgeons have shown remission rates ranging from 70% to 90%. However, some patients do not achieve normalization of their hypercortisolemic state after TSS and continue to have persistent or recurrent CD. For these patients, various therapeutic options after failed TSS include repeat TSS, radiotherapy, medical therapy, and bilateral adrenalectomy (BLA). Bilateral adrenalectomy has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment modality for persistent or recurrent CD with an immediate and definitive cure of the hypercortisolemic state. BLA was traditionally performed through an open approach, but since the advent of laparoscopic adrenalectomy, the laparoscopic approach has become the surgical method of choice. Advances in technology, refinement in surgical skills, competency in adrenopathology, and emphasis on multidisciplinary collaborations have greatly reduced morbidity and mortality associated with adrenalectomy surgery in a high-risk patient population. In this article, the authors review the role of BLA in the treatment of refractory CD. The clinical indications, current surgical and endocrinological results reported in the literature, surgical technique (open vs laparoscopic), drawbacks, and complications of BLA are discussed.

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> This study aimed to explore the complication rates of radical cystectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and identify potential risk factors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 553 patients were included: 131 were operated on via an open approach (ORC), 242 patients via a laparoscopic method (LRC), and 180 by a robot-assisted procedure (RARC). Patient age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, urinary diversion type, preoperative albumin level, body mass index (BMI), pathological (TNM) stage, and surgical times were collected. The severity of complications was classified according to the Clavien-Dindo scale (Grades 1–5). <b><i>Results:</i></b> The surgical technique was significantly related to the number of complications (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.00005). Grade 1 complications were observed most frequently following LRC (52.5%) and RARC (51.1%), whereas mostly Grade 2 complications were detected after ORC (78.6%). Those with less severe complications had significantly higher albumin levels than those with more severe complications (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05). Patients with an elevated BMI had fewer complications if a minimally invasive approach was used rather than ORC. The patient’s general condition (ASA score) did not impact the number of complications, and urinary diversion type did not affect the severity of the complications. Mean surgical time differed according to the urinary diversion type in patients with a similar TNM stage (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.005); however, no difference was found in those with more locally advanced disease. Longer operation time and lower protein concentration were associated with higher probability of complication rate, that is, Clavien-Dindo score 3–5. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The risk of complications after RC is not related to the type of urinary diversion, and can be reduced by using a minimally invasive surgical technique, especially in patients with high BMI.

AbstractNear total laryngectomy with cricohyoepiglottopexy (CHEP) allows cure of glottic carcinomas with voice preservation. The subject of this study was to evaluate CHEP in terms of tumour control and functional result in T1 and T2 glottic carcinomas.This study reviewed retrospectively 55 consecutive cases of CHEP performed between January 1, 1981 and September 1, 1992 with the exclusion of post-radiotherapy salvage surgery. CHEP was indicated for a T1a limit to the anterior commissure and/or with dysplasia of the other vocal fold (10 cases), T1b (11 cases) and T2 (34 cases) glottic carcinomas. All our patients have a follow-up of more than five years.The post-operative course after this surgery was generally uneventful. The median time to decannulation was 18 days, to removal of the nasogastric tube was 15 days and to discharge from hospital was 23 days. No significant difference was observed according to the preservation of one or both arytenoid cartilages. The long-term functional result can be considered to be good in three-quarters of cases, with normal oral swallowing and an easily understood voice. The remaining one quarter had a whispery voice and sometimes episodes of aspiration when swallowing liquids. In terms of oncological results, the five-year recurrence-free survival rate was 94 per cent for T1 and 84 per cent for T2. The ultimate tumour control (taking into account four cases of total laryngectomy) was 94 per cent for T1 and 93 per cent for T2.Primary surgery by CHEP therefore appears to be a good option for early glottic carcinomas. The main problem remains that voice recovery is mediocre in one quarter of patients.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: There is only limited data on the outcome of primary surgery of lumbar disk herniation (LDH) in Dutch patients. The objective of this study is to describe undesirable outcomes after primary LDH. Methods: The National Claims Database (Vektis) was searched for primary LDH operations performed from July 2015 until June 2016, for reoperations within 18 months, prescription of opioids between 6 to 12 months and nerve root block within 1 year. A combined outcome measure was also made. Group comparisons were analyzed with the Student’s t-test. Results: Primary LDH surgery was performed in 6895 patients in 70 hospitals. Weighted mean of reoperations was 7.3%, nerve root block 6.7% and opioid use 15.6%. In total, 23.0% of patients had one or more undesirable outcomes after surgery. The 95% CI interval exceeded the 50% incidence line for 14 out of 26 hospitals with less than 50 surgical interventions per year. Although the data suggested a volume effect on undesired outcomes, the t-tests between hospitals with volume thresholds of 100, 150 and 200 interventions per year did not support this ( P values 0.078, 0.129, 0.114). Conclusion: This unique nationwide claims-based study provides insight into patient-relevant undesirable outcomes such as reoperation, nerve root block and opioid use after LDH surgery. About a quarter of the patients had a serious complication in the first follow up year that prompted further medical treatment. There is a wide variation in complication rates between hospitals with a trend that supports concentration of LDH care.

In this study, we try to compare the benefit of laparoscopic versus open operative procedures.Patients and Methods. One hundred and sixteen patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection (LR) and another 208 patients went for open liver resection (OR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients' selection for open or laparoscopic approach was not randomized.Results. The CLIP score for LR and OR was 0.59 ± 0.75 and 0.86 ± 1.04, respectively, (). The operation time was 156.3 ± 308.2 and 190.9 ± 79.2 min for LR and OR groups, respectively. The necessity for blood transfusion was found in 8 patients (6.9%) and 106 patients (50.9%) for LR and OR groups. Patients resumed full diet on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, and the average length of hospital stay was 6 days and 12 days for LR and OR groups. The complication rate and mortality rate were 0% and 6.0%, 2.9% and 30.2% for LR and OR groups, respectively. The 1-yr, 3-yr, and 5-yr survival rate was 87.0%, 70.4%, 62.2% and 83.2%, 76.0%, 71.8% for LR and OR group, respectively, of non-significant difference. From these results, HCC patients accepted laparoscopic or open approach were of no significant differences between their survival rates.

Backgrounds: The incidence of perforated peptic ulcers has decreased during the last decades but the optimal treatment for these patients remains controversial. At the same time, a laparoscopic approach to this condition has been adopted by an increased number of surgeons. Therefore, this study wants to evaluate the postoperative results of the laparoscopic treatment of perforated peptic ulcer performed in one Italian center with extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery. Methods: This retrospective study includes 94 patients who were operated for perforated peptic ulcer peritonitis at “St. Orsola Hospital - Emergency Surgery Unit - University of Bologna” from May 2014 to December 2019. The patients’ charts were reviewed for demographics, surgical procedure, complications, and short-term outcomes. Results: The diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed by the presence of gas under diaphragm on abdominal X-ray. All patients underwent primary suture repair with or without omentopexy. Boey score 0 or 1 was found in 66 (70%) patients, Boey 2 or 3 in 28 (30%) patients. The operative time was between 35 and 255 minutes, with a mean of 93 minutes. The overall median hospital stay was 9.5 (1-60) days. Post-operative complications occurred in 19 (20%) patients and 18 (19%) patients died. Conclusions: Perforated peptic ulcer is a severe condition that requires early hospital admission and immediate surgery. Laparoscopy in experienced centers and for selected patients is safe, associated with optimal outcomes and should be the preferred approach.
