Esophagojejunal Anastomosis

e16563 Background: Esophageal jejunal anastomotic fistula is still one of the serious postoperative complications of gastric cancer, the incidence was 1% ~ 16.5%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in total gastrectomy. Methods: The new method was called double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis: esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed with a tubular stapler, then the anastomosis was reinforced by absorbable suture (Full-layer continuous suture, slurry muscularis embedding). The new method was used in observation group (n = 295). In the control group(n = 469),the esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed with a tubular stapler, then reinforced by intermittent suture with absorbable sutures. Data analysis including operating time, blood loss, anastomosis time, types and cases of postoperative complications, and postoperative hospitalization time. Results: The data of 764 patients who performed radical gastrectomy between May 2015 and May 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. 1.Surgery situations: The operating time (140.66±26.96 min vs 139.61±22.75min, t= 0.581, P> 0.05) blood loss (200.61±111.03ml vs214.45±114.09ml, t= -1.481, P> 0.05), anastomosis time (20.44±4.31min vs19.92±4.58min, t= 1.573, P> 0.05), postoperative hospitalization time (15.35±6.46 d vs15.89±5.58d, t= -1.229, P> 0.05) .2. Postoperative situations: the rates of anastomotic complications in observation group was 1.69% (5/295) and 4.69% (22/469) in control group, with a statistically significant difference between two groups( χ2 = 4.768, P< 0.05). The rates of anastomotic leakage in observation group was lower than that in the control group 1.02% (3/295) vs 3.41% (16/469) ( χ2 = 4.282, P< 0.05) . The severity of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, anastomotic bleeding were no statistically significant differences between two groups( χ 2= 2.030,1.261,0.075, P> 0.05). Total postoperative complications: 101 cases (34.24%) in the observation group, 14 cases (4.75%) with severe complications, and 1 case death. 151 cases (32.2%) in the control group, 34 cases (7.25%) with serious complications, and 2 cases death ( χ2 = 0.838, Z = -1.465, P > 0.05). Conclusions: Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis is safe and feasible in total gastrectomy, which can reduce the incidence of anastomosis complications.

AbstractWe aim to determine the impact of an artificial liver support system (ALSS) treatment before liver transplantation (LT), and identify the prognostic factors and evaluate the predictive values of the current commonly used ACLF prognostic models for short-term prognosis after LT. Data from 166 patients who underwent LT with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) were retrospectively collected from January 2011 to December 2018 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Patients were divided into two groups depending on whether they received ALSS treatment pre-LT. In the observation group, liver function tests and prognostic scores were significantly lower after ALSS treatment, and the waiting time for a donor liver was significantly longer than that of the control group. Both intraoperative blood loss and period of postoperative ICU care were significantly lower; however, there were no significant differences between groups in terms of total postoperative hospital stays. Postoperative 4-week and 12-week survival rates in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Similar trends were also observed at 48 and 96 weeks, however, without significant difference. Multivariate Cox regression analysis of the risk factors related to prognosis showed that preoperative ALSS treatment, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio, and intraoperative blood loss were independent predicting factors for 4-week survival rate after transplantation. ALSS treatment combined with LT in patients with HBV-related ACLF improved short-term survival. ALSS treatment pre-LT is an independent protective factor affecting the 4-week survival rate after LT.

Objective: This article reports on patients with early stage prostate cancer treated with single plus one port robotic radical prostatectomy (SPORP). Materials and methods: Since January 2014, we performed SPORP in 8 patients with localized prostate cancer. Age of patients, clinical stage, operation time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, blood loss, histopathological evaluation, postoperative continence, serum level of PSA were evaluated. Results: Mean age of the 8 patients was 59.85 years. All operations were completed without conversion to standard robotic procedure or open surgery. No intra operative complications occurred. Mean operating time was 143 minutes; prostate excision 123 minutes and urethrovesical anastomosis 20 minutes. Mean blood loss was 45 ml. Preoperative Gleason scores were (3 + 4) in one patient and (3 + 3) in 7 patients. Postoperative Gleason scores were (3 + 4) in 2 patients, and (3 + 3) in 6 patients. All these 8 cases were in T1c clinical stage. Early postoperative complications were drain leakage (n = 1), atelectasis (n = 1), wound infection (n = 1) and fever (n = 1). There was no positive surgical margin. The serum level of PSA was less than 0.2 ng/ml and no other complications happened during the 4 to 12 months follow-up period. Postoperative continence and cosmetic results were excellent. Conclusions: It is relatively easy for urologists who are skilled in traditional laparoscopic and robotic surgeries to master SPORP. However long-term outcomes of this surgery need further investigations.

Background: Though laparoscopic distal gastrectomy has become a standard procedure for treatment of gastric cancer, laparoscopic total gastrectomy has not been widely accepted as it requires more dexterity and lack of evidence about its feasibility and safety. Methods: Here retrospectively we review a series of 12 cases of gastric cancer undergone laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D1 or D2 lymphadenectomy over a period of 7 years at a tertiary care hospital. The patient demographic characteristics were reviewed and the outcomes after surgery was analyzed in terms of extent of lymphadenectomy, mean operative time, mean intraoperative blood loss median number of lymph nodes harvested, median time for postoperative ambulation, median time for postoperative oral feeding, median time of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and mortality. Results: All patients had total gastrectomy entirely through laparoscopic method. Mean operative time was 282 minutes, mean intraoperative blood loss was 120 ml, median time for ambulation and oral feeding was 3 days and 6 days respectively. Median time of hospital stay was 16 days and 2 patients had complications as pancreatic fistula and port site abscess. No mortality was observed. Conclusion: With zero mortality and accepted rate of complications, laparoscopic total gastrectomy appears to be technically feasible and safe for management of gastric cancer. But more studies have to be conducted with comparison to other standard gastrectomies and long term follow up to be done to establish its standardized application.

To study on the clinical efficacy of the repairing of the toe defect of the tip of the toe artery with skin flap. 48 patients with tip of toe defects who were admitted to our department from May 2014 to December 2015 were randomly divided into two groups: control group and observation group, 24 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with abdominal pedicle flap while the patients in the observation group were treated with the toe artery skin flap for repair. The clinical curative effect of the two groups was analyzed. The total effective rate of clinical treatment was 23 (95.83%) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, 19 (79.16%), and the elasticity and texture of the flap were good and no obvious adverse reaction occurred. The difference between the two groups was significant, p<0.05. The use of the toe artery skin flap for the treatment of the tip of toe defect has a significant clinical effect, and no serious adverse reactions occurred, highly safety.15To explore the clinical application of three-row stapler in the operation of gastric cancer, and to provide a reference for clinical application. 31 patients with gastric cancer from January 2015 to April 2017 were randomly divided into observational group and control group. The observational group (n = 16) received three rows of the stapler; the control group (n = 15) received two rows of the stapler. The general condition, complication and anastomotic condition of the two groups were recorded, and the occurrence of anastomotic leakage was tested by methylene blue test. There was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups ( P> 0.05). The length of stay in the hospital for the observational group was (16.17 ± 5.25) d, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (22.35 ± 7.18) d, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications was 7.14%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (26.67%, P < 0.05). The number of bleeding in the anastomosis of the observational group was (0.87 ± 0.61), and the number of the outermost anastomosis was 0.95 ± 0.49, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). In the observational group, only one case (6.28%) was positive in the methylene blue test, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (20%) (P < 0.05). Three-row stapler can be used to treat the traditional two-row nail stapler, and no external reinforcement is needed after anastomosis. At the same time, it can effectively control the anastomotic bleeding, outer ring nail exposure and anastomotic leakage complications occur and clinical hospital stays shorter, more efficient treatment, worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic gastrointestinal emergency surgery and postoperative complications. Methods Data for 604 patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery between January 2013 and December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Treatment efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between 300 patients (control group) undergoing traditional laparotomy and 304 patients (observation group) undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Results Clinical features were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group, including duration of surgery (59.12 ± 10.31 minutes vs. 70.34 ± 12.83 minutes), intraoperative blood loss (41.21 ± 10.45 mL vs. 61.38 ± 9.97 mL), postoperative pain score (1.25 ± 0.25 points. vs. 5.13 ± 0.43 points), length of hospital stay (5.13 ± 0.24 days vs. 7.05 ± 0.13 days), and time to free activity (13 ± 2.96 hours vs. 22 ± 3.02 hours). The total complication incidence in the observation group was 3.9%, compared with 16% in the control group (16%). No significant differences in direct medical costs were recorded between the observation and control groups. Conclusions For patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic surgery resulted in better clinical outcomes than traditional laparotomy without incurring additional costs. The potential clinical benefits of emergency laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery warrant further study.

Objective. A Perioperative Safety Checklist (PSC) for gastric cancer (GC) was established to evaluate the effects of PSC on the clinical outcomes of GC. Methods. This single-center preliminary observational study conducted at a tertiary referral hospital included patients with GC who underwent surgery from January 1, 2016, to June 30, 2016, treated without PSC (allocated to the control group) and those who underwent surgery between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2017, managed according to the PSC designated as the PSCGC (Perioperative Safety Checklist for Gastric Cancer) group. Results. Overall, 1072 cases were enrolled, 556 cases in PSCGC group and 526 cases in control group. After matching, there were 474 patients in each group. PSC intervention led to significant reductions of the incidence of postoperative intestinal fistula formation ( P = .034), the incidence of unplanned secondary surgery ( P = 0.039), and the total hospitalization expenses ( P < .001). Total completion rate of all 14 checklists items was 79.1%. Intraoperative blood loss in the complete and partial implementation groups was significantly lower than the complete nonimplementation group ( P = .002), whereas hospitalization cost showed an opposite trend, which was significantly higher in the incomplete nonimplementation group ( P = .015). Conclusion. PSC implementation was associated with a decreased incidence of gastrointestinal fistula formation, unplanned secondary surgery, and hospitalization cost in patients with GC. However, it had no effect on the in-hospital mortality, the incidence of postoperative complications during hospitalization (ie, incision complications and lung infections), unplanned secondary admission, and the duration of postoperative hospital stay.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of omitting the step of bladder flap formation at lower-segment caesarean delivery.Methods: It is a RCT (randomised control trial), non-blinded study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 104 women who underwent caesarean delivery (elective or emergency) were prospectively randomized to one of the two groups. In the study group (n= 54), caesarean was performed without formation of a bladder flap. In the control group (n=50), caesarean was performed with the formation of a bladder flap before the uterine incision.Results: There were differences of median skin incision to delivery interval (5 versus 6.5 minutes, P <0.0001), median total operating time (35 versus 44.5 minutes, P 0.0002), and median blood loss (haemoglobin 0.5 versus 1g/dl, P 0.0001) in favor of the study group. Postoperative incidence of urinary tract infection was reduced in the study group (1% versus 9%, P <0.0006) and bowel function returned early in the study group (day 2 versus 3, P<0.0001).  Bladder flap formation step was successfully omitted in (11/18, 61.11%) of previous CS (caesarean section) patients in the study group and (7/12, 58.33%) in control group illustrating that unless required, BF (bladder flap) formation step can even be omitted in previous CS patients.Conclusions: Omission of the bladder flap provides short term advantages such as reduction of total operating time, incision-delivery interval, and reduced blood loss and that this technique can even be applied in previous caesarean section patients.

Abstract Background In the management of OG junction tumors the border issue arises in type 2 cancers. It can be managed with various options like esophago gastrectomy (Ivor Lewis), transabdominal extended transhiatal gastrectomy or total esophago gastrectomy depends upon the extent strectomy of the tumor above and below. After resection the reconstruction can be either with stomach or jejunum or colon. However the functional result after either of these procedures varies. The aim of this study is to know the functional outcome of different reconstruction methods after esophagogastrectomy for locally advanced Type 2 OG junction tumours. Methods 148 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for OG junction tumors in the last 6 years were evaluated. Of them 62 locally advanced type2 OG junction tumors were included in our study. 26 underwent Ivor Levis procedure with gastric replacement. 36 underwent extended transhiatal gastrectomy with esophago jejunal anastamosis. Intra operative details like pyloroplasty, Operative time, blood loss, the distal margin, nodal clearance was noted. The functional outcome since immediate postoperative period to 1 year of follow up is reviewed retrospectively and prospectively in few cases. Results There is no significant difference in operating time, blood loss. Two patients with Partial gastrectomy had positive distal margin even though it is not statistically significant. The average number of nodes harvested is higher with total gastrectomy group with jejunal anastamosis and it is statistically significant between 2 groups (P < 0.05).The GERD is more with gastric conduit when compared to Jejunal reconstruction but the weight loss is more with jejunal reconstruction when compared with gastric reconstruction. Conclusion The functional outcome and oncological outcome are superior with jejunal reconstruction after total gastrectomy when compared with gastric reconstruction after Ivor Lewis procedure.

<b><i>Background and Objectives:</i></b> A tourniquet has been suggested as a useful means of reducing massive hemorrhage during myomectomy. However, it is not clear whether the restricted perfusion affects the ovaries. In the present study, we examined the effect of a tourniquet on ovarian reserve and blood loss during myomectomy. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> In a randomized double-blind clinical trial, fertile nonobese patients scheduled for abdominal myomectomy at Rasool-e-Akram Hospital from February 2018 to June 2019 were randomized to a tourniquet (<i>n</i> = 46) or a non-tourniquet group (<i>n</i> = 35). Serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured before and 3 months after surgery, blood loss was recorded during surgery, and serum levels of hemoglobin (Hb) were recorded before surgery, 6 h and 3 days after surgery. SPSS version 21 was used for statistical analysis. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Demographic, obstetric, and myoma characteristics were similar in the 2 groups (<i>p</i> &#x3e; 0.05). The mean baseline values of AMH and FSH did not differ between groups (<i>p</i> &#x3e; 0.05). After surgery, only FSH was higher in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.043). Despite the time taken to fasten and open the tourniquet, the mean operating time was shorter in the tourniquet group (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). Blood loss was higher in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.005). The drop in Hb levels at 6 h after surgery was higher in the non-tourniquet group (<i>p</i> = 0.002). Blood loss was significantly associated with the duration of surgery (<i>r</i> = 0.523, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The use of a tourniquet during abdominal myomectomy significantly reduced the mean volume of blood loss compared to the non-tourniquet group, while it did not prolong the duration of surgery, nor reduced the ovarian reserve. A tourniquet is a safe and efficient measure during abdominal myomectomy.
