Background/Aim. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is now widely accepted surgical method in the treatment of malignant and benign colorectal diseases. It is getting constantly more supporters due to its positive effects on enhanced patient recovery. The aim of this study was to determine the safety of minimally invasive approach as well as perioperative data, oncologic results and postoperative data. Methods. Prospective observational cohort clinical study was carried out at the Department for Colorectal and Pelvic Oncologic Surgery, First Surgical University Hospital, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. We analyzed demographics records concerning the type of surgery, clinicopathological features and oncological data for all operated patients. Records on early postoperative follow-up were also evaluated. Results. Laparoscopic colorectal resection was performed in 60 patients. Mean age of patients was 65 (29?87) years. Majority of patients were man, 37 (62%) of them. The most common indication was colorectal cancer (43 patients, 71.6%); 12 (20%) patients were operated due to the colorectal polyps unfitted for colonoscopic resection and 5 (8.3%) were operated due to Crohn?s disease. Average number of lymph node harvested in patients with colorectal carcinoma was 22.5 (6?52). We achieved negative resection margins in all patients operated due to carcinoma. Mean duration of hospital stay was 5 (4?12) days. Postoperative complications were encountered in 5 (8.3%) patients. Overall mortality rate was 1.7% (1 patient died due to thromboembolism). Conclusion. This study showed that initiation of laparoscopic colorectal resection is feasible and safe with short hospital stay, adequate oncologic resection and number of lymph node harvested.

Abstract Objective To explore the feasibility, safety and short-term effects of the reverse puncture technique for total laparoscopic colorectal resection with natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). Materials and Methods The clinical data of 28 patients undergoing total laparoscopic anterior resection with NOSE from July 2016 to July 2019 were retrospectively analysed. The operation was performed following the principle of total mesorectal excision. The reverse puncture technique was used to put the anvil into the proximal sigmoid colon. Then, intra-abdominal anastomosis of the proximal colon and distal rectum was carried out, and the short-term efficacy was evaluated. Results All 28 patients successfully underwent surgery, and the average operative time was 186 (160~220) min. The average time of anvil placement was 15 (12~18) min, the blood loss volume ranged from 60 to 150 ml, and the average length of hospital stay was 9.2 (7-11) d. All of the distal resection margins were confirmed to be negative by the pathological results. No surgery-associated complications, such as anastomosis stricture, leakage, or bleeding, were observed, and no local recurrence or metastasis occurred after 6 months of follow-up. Conclusion Reverse puncture for total laparoscopic colorectal resection with NOSE can avoid purse-string sutures under laparoscopy and avoid the auxiliary incision at the abdominal wall, which minimizes pain after operation. This approach is safe and feasible with a shortened hospital stay and rapid recovery, which results in good short-term clinical outcomes.

INTRODUCTION Management of malignant colorectal polyps is controversial. The options are resection or surveillance. Resection margin status is accepted as an independent predictor of adverse outcome. However, the rate of adverse outcome in polyps with a resection margin of <1mm has not been investigated. METHODS A retrospective search of the pathology database was undertaken. All polyp cancers were included. A single histopathologist reviewed all of the included polyp cancers. Polyps were divided into three groups: clear resection margin, involved resection margin and unknown resection margin. Polyps were also analysed for tumour grade, morphology, Haggitt/Kikuchi level and lymphovascular invasion. Adverse outcome was defined as residual tumour at the polypectomy site and/or lymph node metastases in the surgical group and local or distant recurrence in the surveillance group. RESULTS Sixty-five polyps (34 male patients, mean age: 73 years, range: 50–94 years) were included. Forty-six had clear polyp resection margins; none had any adverse outcomes. Sixteen patients had involved polyp resection margins and twelve of these underwent surgery: seven had residual tumour and two of these patients had lymph node metastases. Four underwent surveillance, of whom two developed local recurrence. Three patients had resection margins on which the histopathologist was unable to comment. All patients with a clear resection margin had no adverse outcome regardless of other predictive factors. CONCLUSIONS Polyp cancers with clear resection margins, even those with <1mm clearance, can be treated safely with surveillance in our experience. Polyp cancers with unknown or involved resection margins should be treated surgically.

Background. The choice of optimal treatment strategies for T4b colon cancers has still been discussed, particularly the initiation of neoadjuvant therapy or surgery. We conducted this study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic multivisceral resection for T4b colon cancers. Methods. We used the retrospective design to include all 43 patients with T4b colon cancer at a university hospital in Vietnam from March 2017 to March 2019. All patients were followed 30 days after the surgery, and information about the day of the first flatus, length of hospital stay, iatrogenic complications, postoperative morbidity, mortality, and adjuvant chemotherapy was collected. Results. The mean operating time was 187 minutes (ranging from 80 to 310), the mean blood loss was 64.3 ml (5-200), and the conversion rate was 2.3%. The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 15.5 ( SD = 8.06 ), and 33 patients (76.7%) had at least 12 lymph nodes harvested. A total of 21 patients (48.8%) had lymph node metastases with a mean number of lymph node metastases of 1.89 ( SD = 3.4 ). The radial resection margin was R0 in all 43 patients (100%). The median time until the first flatus and hospital stay were 3 days (2–5) and 7.1 (6–11) days, respectively. There was no mortality at 30 days postoperatively, and one patient had iatrogenic complication (2.3%). Conclusion. Laparoscopic radical colectomy was feasible and safe for patients with T4b colon cancer except those requiring major and complicated reconstruction.

We aimed to evaluate the short-term outcome of colorectal resection in very elderly patients, aged 85 years or older. As the population ages, the number of elderly patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in Japan. At this time, it is unclear whether or not laparoscopic colorectal resection is safe for this very elderly patient population. From January 2005 to November 2014, a total of 20 patients aged 85 years or older underwent laparoscopic colorectal resection at Osaka University Hospital. Pre- and postoperative clinical data and outcomes were collected retrospectively. There were no intraoperative or postoperative deaths. In 2 cases, the laparoscopic procedure was converted to open surgery. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients. Two patients developed an infection at the surgical site. Among the 4 patients who underwent low anterior resection (LAR), 2 experienced postoperative anastomotic leakage. Two other patients developed a lung infection and urinary tract infection, respectively. Laparoscopic colectomy for very elderly patients with CRC appears to involve tolerable risk. However, special caution is advisable for patients who may undergo LAR.

Background: Lymphoma is one of the most ten common cancers in the world as well as in Vietnam which has been ever increasing. It was divided into 2 main groups Hodgkin and non – Hodgkin lymphoma in which non-Hodgkin lymphoma appeared more frequency, worse prognosis and different therapy. Objectives: - To describe some common characteristics in patients with non – Hodgkin lymphoma; - To determine the proportion between Hodgkin and non- Hodgkin lymphoma, histopathological classification of classical Hodgkin by modified Rye 1966 and non-Hodgkin lymphoma by Working Formulation (WF) of US national oncology institute 1982. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 65 patients with Hodgkin and non- Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed definitely by histopathology at Hue Central Hospital and Hue University Hospital. Results:. The ratio of male/female for the non-Hodgkin lymphoma was 1.14/1, the most frequent range of age was 51-60 accounting for 35%, not common under 40 years. Non - Hodgkin lymphoma appeared at lymph node was the most common (51.7%), at the extranodal site was rather high 48.3%. The non - Hodgkin lymphoma proportion was predominant 92.3% comparing to the Hodgkin lymphoma only 7.7%; The most WF type was WF7 (53.3%), following the WF6 18,3% and WF5 11,7%; The intermediate malignancy grade of non- Hodgkin lymphoma was the highest proportion accouting for 85%, then the low and the high one 8.3% and 6.7% respectively. Conclusion: The histopathological classification and the malignant grade of lymphoma for Hodgkin and non - Hodgkin lymphoma played a practical role for the prognosis and the treatment orientation, also a fundamental one for the modern classification of non - Hodgkin lymphoma nowadays.

Background: Hypertension is a common condition in the world as well as in Viet Nam. If hypertension isn’t treated well, it can cause many serious complications. Controlling target blood pressure will bring positive effects on reducing mortality rate and also disabilities caused by diseases related to hypertension. Objectives: (1) Analyzing the use of medicines in treating hypertension. (2) Evaluating the effects of medicine usage in treating hypertension at the hospital of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Materials and methods: 388 patients were diagnosed as having hypertension with inpatient care at the Cardiovascular Department of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy’s hospital, using cross-sectional descriptive study methods. Results: All antihypertensive drugs in the research were contained in the antihypertensive list recommended by Vietnamese Society of Cardiology. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and calcium channel blocker were the two most popular drug groups (96.6% and 71.4%, respectively). The rate of using multi-therapy regimens was higher than the rate of using uni-therapy regimens in both initial therapies (64.7%>35.3%) and final therapies (61.9%>38.1%). The rate of patients having interactions between antihypertensive drugs and the other kinds of drugs was 7.5%. The rate of patients having reasonable prescriptions was 84.3%. Evaluating the effects of medicine usage in treatments showed that the rate of patients reaching target blood pressure before leaving the hospital was 67.3%. Most patients were evaluated as having good prognosis after treatment, up to 81.7%. Conclusions: All antihypertensive drugs in the research were contained in the antihypertensive list recommended by Vietnamese Society of Cardiology. The rate of using multi-therapy regimens was higher than the rate of using uni-therapy regimens. The rate of drug interactions was quite low; most patients were evaluated as having good prognosis after treatment. Key words: hypertension, antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract Introduction Endometriosis is associated with a high number of chronic pelvic pain and reduced quality of life. Colorectal resections in case of bowel involvement of endometriosis are associated with an unneglectable morbidity in young and healthy patients. There is no linear correlation established between the degree of symptoms and stage of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to correlate the histological findings to preoperative pain scores in colorectal resected patients with endometriosis. Methods Twenty-five patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis between 2014 and 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Pain level was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively via phone call in May 2020. Histopathology was correlated to preoperative symptoms and postoperative outcome. Results Average follow-up time was 38.68 months (± 19.92). Preoperative VAS-score was 8.32 (± 1.70). We observed a significant reduction of pain level in all patients after surgery (p ≤ 0.005). Pain levels were equal regarding the presence of satellite spots and various degrees of infiltration depth. The resection margins were clear in all patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 cases (24%) and anastomotic leakage was observed in 3 patients (12%). Average VAS-score at time of follow-up was 1.70 (± 2.54). Conclusion Our data demonstrate that adequate colorectal resection leads to reduction of pain and an increase of quality of life irrespective of histopathological findings. An experienced team is necessary to improve intraoperative outcome and to reduce postoperative morbidity in case of complication.
