scholarly journals Stenting of esophageal anastomosis

This study based on the experience of treatment of 57 patients who previously were operated at the clinic for cancer of the stomach and esophagus. These patients had complications in the form of esophageal anastomotic leakage and esophageal anastomotic stricture. There were 9 patients with esophageal-gastric anastomotic leakage , 11 patients with esophageal - intestinal anastomotic leakage, 20 patients with a stricture of esophageal - gastric anastomosis, 17 patients with a stricture of esophageal - intestinal anastomosis. All the patients were undergone stenting of esophageal anastomosis. The results of using this method of treatment were estimated. Stenting of the esophagus with self-expandable stents with a coating is a method of choice for the treatment of patients with insolvency of esophageal anastomosis and avoids traumatic surgery, especially in weakened patients, as well as helps to save lives in patients with these severe complications. When scarring strictures of esophageal anastomosis, especially when other methods of treatment (boughing, balloon dilatation) fail, stenting is also a very effective minimally invasive method that can restore the passage of the gastrointestinal tract and improve the quality of life of the patient, as well as an alternative to traumatic surgery to correct stricture of esophageal anastomosis.

The hypertone of chewing muscles is the leading reason of development of pain of non-odontogenic character in maxillofacial area. This pathology is rather widespread, at the same time has permanent character and is characterized average or heavy degree of expressiveness of clinical symptoms. Muscular pains considerably reduce working capacity and worsen quality of life of patients. Treatment of a hypertone of chewing muscles is relevant in stomatology. For clear understanding of genesis of development of muscular frustration in work the anatomy of a temporal and mandibular joint and chewing muscles is in detail presented systems. Modern methods of treatment of a hyper tone of chewing muscles include correction of occlusion that doesn’t eliminate a painful symptom; orthopedic and orthodontic treatment with application a cap. However, application of above-mentioned methods is rather effective, there is no exact understanding of the mechanism of their action. At some patients the temporary improvement of a state is noted, – gets the chronic sluggish long course of development of a disease which doesn’t give in by any known methods subsequently from others. Dentists perfectly understand this fact, at the same time the disappointment from the treatment comes in spite of the fact that all efforts were bent on improvement of knowledge in the field of factors predictors of development of pathology, modern methods of diagnostics and treatment of muscular frustration. In this work the use of the pneumoexercise machine mouth gag as the device relaxing muscles and separating device on the one hand, and possibilities of his use as a stimulator of process of the return development of the available already structural and functional changes of muscle tissue with another is proved. Accurate indications and contraindications to use of this device are submitted. It is recommended to use the device as the low-invasive method which isn’t leading to irreversible consequences. Further need of development of practical recommendations on uses of the pneumoexercise machine mouth gag as is obvious to patients and their parents, and to dentists in the medical and preventive purposes.

Abstract Background The safety and feasibility of stapled intestinal anastomosis have been widely reported in adults. However, the efficacy of stapled anastomosis (SA) in children is unclear. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SA compared with hand-sewn anastomosis (HA) in pediatric patients. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases. Studies comparing outcomes of children aged < 7 years and subgroups of children aged < 1 year who underwent SA or HA were included. Primary outcomes were anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stricture. Mean differences (MDs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for continuous variables. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % CIs were calculated for dichotomous variables. Interstudy heterogeneity was assessed using the chi-squared test and was quantified using the I² statistic. Results One randomized control trial and five retrospective cohort studies, comprising 633 cases (229 SA cases and 404 HA cases), were included. No significant differences were observed in anastomotic leakage (6.5 % vs. 7.4 %; OR, 0.93; 95 % CI, 0.37–2.34; p = 0.88), anastomotic stricture (4.1 % vs. 9.3 %; OR, 0.54; 95 % CI, 0.19–1.51; p = 0.24), ileus (7.1 % vs. 9.3 %, OR, 2.35; 95 % CI, 0.15–37.51; p = 0.54), anastomosis-related complications (9.5 % vs. 10.9 %, OR, 0.98; 95 % CI, 0.52–1.86; p = 0.96; I2 = 39 %), and time until full-feeding (MD = -3.57 days; 95 % CI, -11.36 to 4.23; p = 0.37) between SA and HA. Operative time was significantly shorter in SA than in HA in children aged < 1 year (MD = -20.36 min; 95 % CI, -26.13 to -14.59). Conclusions SA required shorter operative time and was comparable to HA in the overall complication rate. Although the evidence was insufficient, SA could be an option for intestinal anastomosis in children.

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.

Nausea and vomiting are one of most frequent side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Effective prevention and treatment of these symptoms is essential for better quality of life for patients undergoing oncological therapies. Nausea and vomiting can be acute, delayed or anticipatory. Leading mechanisms and methods of treatment are different for each of those. Most often used groups of drugs are: 5-HT3-antagonists, glucocorticosteroids, NK1-antagonists. Another important group are neuroleptics, which are therapy of choice for anticipatory vomiting. Modern antiemetic medications are in most cases safe and effective. But as every treatment it causes risks of adverse events which may be serious and difficult to manage. It applies in particular to long-acting drugs. Most common side effects are headache, constipation and sedation. But more severe or life-threatening symptoms may appear, like intestinal obstruction and serotonin syndrome. Some of the drugs also come with risk of interacting with other treatment. Changes in pharmacokinetics may lead to additional toxicities. In elderly, especially with cardiac disease, in risk of ileus or cachexia these drugs shall be used with caution.

The palliative care patient is definitely a unique type of patient. Due to the complexity of the symptoms requires a holistic therapeutic approach. Modern methods of treatment in palliative and hospice care underline an important role of physio, kinesiotherapy and pharmacological treatment coexistence. The rehabilitation reduces clinical symptoms, accompanying the basic disease and increases the quality of life of palliative patients and their families. It becomes an inseparable element of treatment, both in outpatient care as well as in stationary care and home care. Due to the high dynamics onset of cancer in the group of geriatric patients there is a need for a broader analysis of the topic. The goal of palliative care is to achieve the best possible quality of life for patients and their families.
