Salvage Radical Prostatectomy

212 Background: Salvage radical prostatectomy is one option for patients with locally recurrent disease with proven long term oncologic control. There are concerns about worse functional results due to fibrotic tissue after radiotherapy and patients are treated with palliative systemic androgendreptivation. We retrospectively analyzed continence and quality of life in patients undergoing SRPE. Methods: After biopsy proven local recurrent prostate cancer 138 patients were offered SRPE and extended lymphadenectomy. Continence and quality of life had been collected before 6 and 12 months after surgery. Validated questionaires with ICIQ and EORTC qlq 30 had been used. Results: Präoperatively at 6 monts and 12 months the feed back was available in 93, 84 and 82 patients respectively. Präoperatively there was no or mild incontinence in 38(40.8%), moderate in 33 (35.5%) and strong incontinence in 22 (23.7%) of the patients. There is a significant decrease in the rate of continence after 6 and 12 months to no or mild in 19 (23.1%), moderate in 19 (23.2%) and strong incontinence in 44 (53.7%) of the patients. In 5 patients an artifitial sphinkter was implanted. Quality of life did not change significantly before and 12 months after surgery. Median value of Question 30 was 6 and five respectively. Conclusions: Patients need to be informed about a worse functional outcome and the potential need for further surgical interventions as artificial sphinkter implantion compared to primary radical prostatectomy. Quality of life seems to be affected only moderatly. Nevertheless there is already a rather high rate of any incontinence before surgery that needs to be taken into account.

Ventral Hernias

Importance. Functional results of treatment of the ventral hernias of the medial localization after endoprosthetics of the abdominal wall by the standard polypropylene prosthesis remain unsatisfactory because of the limited flexibility of the abdominal wall. Purpose. To improve functional results of treatment of patients with ventral hernias of the medial localization by applying a light strengthened endoprosthesis. Materials and methods. There was done a comparative analysis of the results of treatment of 60 patients with medial hernias of the anterior abdominal wall. Patients were divided into two groups with 30 people in each group. In the first group over-aponeurotic endoprosthetics of the abdominal wall defect was provided with the use of a standard polypropylene prosthesis with the thread diameter 120 micron, while in the second group there was used a light strengthened endoprosthesis with the thread diameter in the basic zones 90 micron and in the strengthened zones 120 and 90 micron. Effectiveness of treatment in the nearest post-operative period was evaluated by the degree of severity of inflammatory implantation response, and in the long-term period evaluation was done on the base of functional state of the abdominal muscles, quality of life of patients and results of treatment by four point scale. Results and their discussion. Inflammatory exudative response on implantation of the light strengthened endoprosthesis was less and reparative response was 1,1 times higher compare to a standard prosthesis. Endoprosthetics of the abdominal wall with a light strengthened endoprosthesis improved contractility of the abdominal muscles in 1,2 times. Restoration of the functions of the abdominal muscles had a positive influence on quality of life, namely, physical component of health improved by 4,5%, as well as on long-term results of treatment by the increased number of excellent and good results of treatment by 20% and reduction of satisfactory results by 20%. Conclusions. The use of a light strengthened endoprosthesis enables to improve the functional results of treatment of ventral hernias of the medial localization.

Objectives: We aim to analyze long-term voice outcomes and Quality of Life (QoL) in patients undergoing Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy Type II (OPHL Type II) and to compare them to those obtained by patients undergoing Total Laryngectomy (TL) with voice prosthesis (VP). Design: Cross-sectional cohort study Setting: patients undergoing surgery for advanced laryngeal cancer, assessed during the usual follow-up consultations at the Phoniatric Unit (February 2020-December 2020). Participants: Forty-five patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: OPHL Group and TL Group. Main outcomes measures: Maximum phonation time, INFV0 scale, I-SECEL, UWQoL-V4 and MDADI questionnaires were used to assess the long-term outcomes. Results: Voices of patients undergoing OPHL Type II were worse than those of laryngectomized patients with VP. Nevertheless, scores in voice and dysphagia-related QoL were comparable and scores in the Social domain of QoL were better in OPHL group. Conclusions. OPHL Type II allows an acceptable voice recovery and a satisfactory QoL.
